The 1006 is a great pistol! The factory loads are a little downloaded now compared to the "original" Norma level loads. I prefer at least full power loads (current standard max loads in the manuals), and occasionally shoot higher level ones more true to the originals.

To that end, I replaced the factory standard 18# recoil spring with a Wolff 22# spring. It works fine with standard 170/180 gr loads and gives me a bit more cushion for heavier 180 and especially 200gr loads. If I were shooting mostly 200gr loads at the highest velocities, say for hunting or "bear" loads, I might even go with a 24# spring. You will definately notice the difference when racking the slide even on a 22# spring. I think a lot of women especially would have difficulty operating it even with proper push/pull technique.
