Recoil springs

I'm looking for a dual action spring for my 6" TRP. There are hundreds of springs for 5" guns, but not 6". My intent is to reduce the slide's thrust on the frame, and muzzle movement for faster rebound to the target. Any help is appreciated.
 
Here's an update on my adventure. I have been able to talk to an actual person from one of the spring companies. they had no clue, much less a solution. I have emails out to 2 companies. I tried the inquiry button at Brownells and actually got a response from a person, who referred me to another person. And then there was nothing but a blank screen.

I do have some possibilities. Wilson has a flat wire spring, but for 5" bbl. I remember seeing a David Tubbs video about flat wire springs for AR-15s. He was showing how the spring gained strength as it compressed, and then reduced power as it expands. But I don't know if it applies to pistols, nor to what extent.

Wolff has a variable power spring, and Sprinco has a progressive recoil spring. But I'll have to get in touch with them to find out how much the power changes. And neither are designed for a 6" bbl.

Thanks for your replies, and I'll keep you posted.
 
My Sig 1911 has the flat recoil spring, to be honest, I noticed no difference in recoil or cycling the slide.

That's what a spring does. The force of a linear (one stage) spring is inverse proportional with the compression length. Hooke's Law F=-kX

I would try asking those people, they probably can make a sprig to order too: "Please contact Technical Support for suggestions for your particular pistol and loads."

We have a solution!!!!! I've been talking with Alan @ Sprinco and here's what we came up with. He will sell me the 6" recoil management system #12263 w/o the reverse plug for $99.95. He also recommended the 20# spring #25020. Then I need to take the front plug from the TRP and have it drilled, counter-bored and buffed for the guide rod.

Ta-Da.

I do have my doubts about the 20# spring, as it might be too strong. But I can play with that later.

If you want to go this way, and get the $20 break on the recoil system, you'll need to call in your order.
