OK I tried the Wilson 22# spring. Installs nice and is easy to rack. You know Wyoming is a big state but this thing, with the 22# spring, throws shells into Montana and I hate crossing the line just for shells! Really they land about 18'+ away at 4:00. The ammo was PPU 180 gr. JHP. Probably a lot like the Remington green and white.

Just a thought... Make sure you have a factory full power (20#) mainspring in the gun. There are some reduced power mainsprings that fit these plus some of the DAO variants came with a 17# spring which could have found it's way into your pistol. Also, It's not unheard of for folks to install a reduced power mainspring to lighten the DA trigger (kind of a poor man's action job).
Control of initial slide velocity is shared between the mainspring & the recoil spring so if your mainspring isn't "up to snuff" you'll wind up with violent ejection among other problems. That's probably where I'd look first.
Ahh Wait! I just though of something. The ejector in these old single stack 40s including the CS40 variants is part number 234340000. However, all the 10mm guns use part number 230190000 which is a tad shorter and is common to all the 45xx & 10xx models.
Here's a comparison shot. 4013 et al. on top, 10xx & 45xx bottom.
I'm pretty pleased with how my "1014" works but, I still think there is room for improvement in the ejection so.....
Presto Change O. Out with the 234340000 and in goes the 230190000.
I'll not change anything else until I have noted any difference in ejection pattern with the Remington green & Wilson 22# combo.
Anyway, along with the new ejector, I have cut & dressed three more springs for testing with some warmer loads. In addition to the Wilson spring I have ISMI 22# springs trimmed to 24, 26 & 28 coil and 200 rounds of Winchester 175s plus another 50 of the Remington 180s.
Range day tomorrow
