If anyone owns or has owned a Colt Defender .45 ACP (3" barrel) can you chime in on this.

 

At the range today my first time firing this gun out of about 60 rounds I got smacked in the forehead

or nose 3 times.  I thought my Glock 19 was bad but this Colt is a bullseye for my face!

Would replacing the recoil spring and guide rod with one from Kimber help any???

More than likely the extractor is either to tight or to loose-my guess would be a little on the tight side.Changing recoil springs may help but I doubt it.If you want to check extractor tension there are several videos on U-Tube that describe the process.
