Replaced factory 18lb recoil spring with 16lb Wolff. Racking slide is easier to the point of being almost pleasant. Seems like the barrel dips less after recoil, making getting back on target a little quicker.

I upgraded my 4.5-inch standard-length slide 10-mm Tanfoglio Witness's 14-lb recoil spring to the Wolff 16-lb Tanfoglio long-slide recoil spring. Total spring force with the Wolff long-slide 16-lb recoil spring matched with the Henning Group 2-mm brass shock buffer in my 4.5-inch standard-length slide, large-frame Witness is 18.5 lbs. This recoil spring-rate is ideal for 180-grains 1164-f/s up to 1250-f/s 10-mm ammo loads. I run the full Norma loads (200-220 grains, 1200-1250 f/s) only in my SIG P220 Elite, as that pistol is a much beefier design, in spite of the Tanfoglio weighing the same as my SIG P220 Elite (with empty magazines). I would say that the Wolff 18-lb and 20-lb recoil springs would be suited to the 10-mm full Norma loads in the Tanfoglio, but racking the slide will be much harder, due to the Tanfoglio's (CZ's) slide-in-frame design especially with larger-handed shooters, or shooters with dainty hands and weaker grip strength. For CZ/Tanfoglio pistols stick with the 180-grains 10-mm loads matched with the Woff 16-lb recoil spring for a superb balance between performance and usability.
