IIRC, the wadcutter spring that S&W offered for the 5" bbl. 45ACP (4506) was 14# & that's what Wolff calls the standard spring. This has been discussed before.
Wolff lists the standard power spring for the 4566 (4-1/4" bbl.) as 17#.
I've weighed the slide/barrel combo of each & the 5" bbl. is only .7 oz. heavier than the 4-1/4" bbl.
