Which recoil spring CZ Shadow 2? Reloaded AMMO.

[Pew-Shadow2-Pew]

Dear forum members,

which recoil spring do you recommend for a Shadow 2 with reloaded ammunition? My reloaded ammo is 9mm 145 grain with a PF of 135.
I have the following springs from CGW: #10 #11 #12 #13.

Thank you in advance!

I only shoot reloads and most of my CZ's are sprung from 12# to 14#.
That's for ammo loaded to ~130PF.

I use an 11# recoil spring in my Shadow 2 with loads with a Power Factor of 136.

Thank you both!

I have 3 CZ's and all have the stock recoil springs.  I run only reloads using 115 HAP bullets and sometimes I use 124/127 grainers just for a change.  All three of my CZ's have optics on them and I have never had a problem with them.  I am not interested in PF details, just best accuracy for paper punching.  While my Shadow 2 OR and Shadow 2 Carry are very accurate, my TSO is the one that takes the cake for accuracy from a rest.  It has far more accuracy potential than I can muster from it shooting off-hand and I equate some of that to my reloads (hopefully), but I have never had a 9mm handgun shoot as well as my TSO.  It's an amazing pistol.

What is the stock recoil spring weight on Shadow 2?  I run reloads using 115 HAP’s also.  Recoil is very minimal in my Shadow 2 and almost nothing in my Checkmate.

I reload 124gr. Xtreme Flat Points to a 136 PF. I use them in both my SP-01 and my AccuShadow with a 14 pound Cajun Gun Works recoil spring in each one. Ejects 6 to 8 feet from where I stand. Both are very soft shooters.

I thought I read somewhere the stock recoil spring weight is around 14 lbs, but I could be wrong.

OEM 11# for my 130PF reloads.
Stock is 13# or 14#, can't remeber any more.
