Preventing "battering" from too-strong 1911A1 recoil spring.

[Kosh75287]

I'd like to do some load development with my 1911A1, and may use a stronger-than-stock recoil spring and a recoil buffer to keep the slide velocity from getting ridiculous. My question is, what can be done to keep the extra-heavy recoil spring from battering the piece as it goes back into battery under the power of the extra-heavy spring?

Personally, I do not like buffers. Just something to degrade and go to pieces over time.

I don’t know that you can do really all that much. Sounds like you are trying for a 45 super which is ok if you use a fully supported chamber. The 1911 is a heavily overbuilt design it can take a ton of abuse of this sort as long as you use the right brass and chamber and a quality firearm.
