Good everyone, As per many suggestions I replaced the recoil spring in my P220 9mm. I ordered what appears to be the correct spring frpm Wolf springs and it's 18#. Physically longer than the 15# OEM. I'll aattach a pic. It is noticebly stronger when I rack it. But now Frequently with any mag the first round rack cause a nose up jam into the chamber. The silde appears to over run the case and ding it. Tomorrow I am going to run another 7 mags with the OEM spring to confirm. Any Ideas?

It's not unusual for a new spring to be longer than the old one. I would, however, try a 15 pound spring, if that's what was originally in it. Also, of course, the clean a lube routine.

Agreed on length and I think todays test with the old spring will confirm The new one is to strong.

I'll post up this afternoon.

Wolff Springs only lists recoil spring for the P220 in .45ACP. Yours in 9mm. Could that be the problem?

14# Wolff recoil springs (P/N 46014) have gone into all my 9mm P220's and a Browning BDA in 9mm. All function like they should. Ditch the 18 and get a 14.

OK guys I got the wrong spring all together. My bad on that
I did order the 46020 which is for P220 or BDA but of course way to strong.
I'll get the 46014. Thank you P220cop.

P.S. the OEM spring worked fine yesterday.

Please check back in with an update when you try out the 14 pounder.
If you need any help diagnosing any other issues, I am just up the 101 in Ventura. Feel free to give me a holler.
