Hi All,
My 10 year old son is starting to shoot pistol (22lr) after attending a few matches with me as a spectator. I worked up some sub-minor 9mm loads with 2.7 gr of WST and a 145 gr Bayou coated RN bullet for him to try. It's very soft and when I fire it, the gun functions (ejects the brass about 2-3 feet at most) but when my son fires it, it will fail to eject every time (limp wristing?). I've tried loads up to 3.0 gr of WST with no change in function. We're working on his grip and strength but my question is would a lighter recoil spring help this issue?
It's a bone stock gen 2 G17 with factory captured recoil spring.
I've not chrono'd the loads so I'm guessing they are sub-minor. I'm shooting in Limited with a 40S&W so the 9mm minor loading and production class is new for me.
thanks.
