Was hoping someone could answer a question or two on a Springfield Armory Champion. What year did the model go to the ambi safety? Was it at that time it went from a single recoil spring to the dual sytem as I'm told it has now? What is the advantage to the dual spring system and could it be a replacement to a single spring system? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

The only advantages I can see to a dual spring set up would be to assist in reducing recoil and since the sllide is shorter than the full size versions it may reduce spring wear caused by fully compressing a single spring. The theory is sound but I am a little leary of complicating a simple and proven design.
For a better answer I would try to contact Springfield Armory at the below number, but be forewarned they are much less responsive than either Colt or Ruger in my experience.
1-800-680-6866
1-309-944-5631
Office hours are 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Central Time, Monday through Friday.

My Colt Officer's ACP came with a factory dual recoil springs.I installed a reversed recoil spring plug with a Cominioli "Frame Saver" full length guide rod with inner and outer shok buffs on the guide rod head.I also installed a single Wolff 22 lb. recoil spring.I also went with a heavier King's Barrel bushing.My Officer has a 3 1/2 " barrel but the 4" Wilson Combat 1911s also use the single 22 lb. recoil spring,as many others do.The shorter the barrel length,the heavier the recoil spring.I've minimized recoil battering a great deal even though my Colt is forged of carbon steel for the added strength.
