That large radius effectively changes (lowers) the total recoil spring power that controls the slide retardation. My memory is that the recoil dynamics is noticeably different between the two, but I'm usually working with Officers Models, so not exactly oranges to oranges when looking at the Govt Model. Plus, it's been years since I have shot them, and my memory is not so good anymore. Others have commented that the recoil doesn't seem to have a noticeable twist with the original plate, compared to the more common -A1 version. That's what I also recall, but the details are fuzzy. The Officers runs springs rated from 22-24 lbs, and the slide is a blur when moving. The Govt Mod seems to just trundle along in comparison (except the 10mm).Willhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00722792638246578812noreply@blogger.com
