What is the correct color for the 10mm recoil spring? I'm thinking I may have the wrong recoil spring as even mild ammo that is no more that 40S&W level loads sling the brass 20-30 feet.

Are aftermarket springs available? Would the DPM system reduce the distance? I reload and I loose more brass due to this issue than all the other cartridges I reload combined.

I can't discern any color on mine, a captured spring. Maybe the color wore off, although the end that abuts the barrel seems darker.

Bought a replacement recently.Its still in the Sig bag and is as FrankMoses has posted.
The last 3 coils against the barrel are darker almost a purple looking.
I suspect that Sig only makes the one recoil spring assembly.
Every 10 mm pistol I've owned threw the cases quite a ways.

Looks purple.

Why do you want to put an aftermarket spring in your 10mm?

I’m just a little shocked a recoil spring for a P220 10mm is 53 dollars. Guess I haven’t bought many Sig parts recently…

Hoping to get a higher force spring that may reduce the distance the brass is thrown.

That is what the SIG P220 10mm does with brass. Why mess with something that functions so well (my SAO Nitron model functions without fail, on my handloads up to Underwood power stuff). I admit I was a bit puzzled the first time I fired some full power loads, looking for the brass. I kept increasing my search radius, until I finally found them, in a neat pile 35 feet away. I purchased my P220-10mm SIG ~7 years ago.
