Field Posted June 18, 2010 Share Posted June 18, 2010 (edited) i was kind of wondering how light of a recoil spring i can run in my xdm9 when shooting 124g 136pf loads ive mainly stuck with the 16lb spring which works reliably but idk maybe if i could run a 14lb spring without any trouble maybe it would reduce muzzle flip to a greater degree? i dont notice a terrible difference between the factory 18lb and the 16lb tbh Edited June 18, 2010 by Field Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marv Z Posted June 18, 2010 Share Posted June 18, 2010 I run 14# springs in both my XDM 9 and 40. No problems with either, other than when I tried some ammo that the OAL was too long. My 40 is my go to gun for IDPA, but I do reload my own ammo. I tried Atlanta Arms minor in it and had nothing but trouble. Mostly failure to feed due to the flat nose bullet. Zeros or Montana Gold are much better for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Field Posted June 18, 2010 Share Posted June 18, 2010 so with the ammo that you shoot, you feel that a 14lb spring is more beneficial? how does it feel different when shooting with a 16lb? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
