Looks for Range (1/11)

I saw one on Brownells for 79.99 it's a bit steep for me right now. I took it out today and was able to place groupings within an inch of each other and do double taps in under 2secs so I would say it performed just fine I honestly didn't notice any issues with the lighter spring at all, if anything I think the metal rod compensated with added weight. Really thank you so much I do believe your advice on the ammunition helped a lot. I ended up using WWB 165 grain with vel of 1060 so pf was around 174.

looking online i'm not even seeing buffer pads for this model unfortunately

awesome, thank you so much for your help i was kind of worried it might be to much for the gun but i'm only putting maybe 200-300rds through it a month, the phn app exercise sounds like a great way to test it over all, i've never heard of the buffer pads before are they difficult to find or install?

Currently I am using wwb 165 great fmj's for target and for defense I am using sig v crown 165 great jhp and American federal Hydra shok 165 great jhp as well. I just want to be able to manage recoil and stay on target to be able to do fast follow up shots.

I bought the rod and spring from centennial defense systems and I'm shooting factory loads, haven't gotten into reloads yet. I still have the 18lb oem spring that's on the plastic rod.

i recently bought a smith & wesson sd40 ve and did not really like the plastic guide rod, i have always had metal guide rods before so i purchased a aftermarket stainless steel quide rod with 15lb recoil spring. i know the oem spring is 18lbs but i figured if i used a lower grain rd like a wwb 165gr fmj it may lessen the recoil and get back on target by cycling faster. am i correct in my assumptions? if not what ammo do you think i should use with that setup? or should i just switch the oem spring onto the steel rod?
