What is an ideal weight for my main spring and recoil spring or any changes i'm going to make to have a soft recoil ? Tnx in advance. By the way i'm using a P16.40 LTD Try a 12.5lb recoil spring and a 17lb main spring. That's what I run in my p16-40 and it feels great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loves2Shoot Posted July 8, 2010 Share Posted July 8, 2010 When posting these types of questions, it is MUCH more helpful to tell your velocity instead of powder charge. If people don't know your power factor, it is much harder to give you good advise. I prefer the 320 to the 340 personally. That being said some people will prefer a push to a snap so "soft" is subjective to your size and structure also. A 17 MS and 12-14 lb RS work pretty well for most major 40 loads.

Aircooled6racer Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 Hello: You may want to try a 14lb ISMI recoil spring as well. I use a 17lb ISMI mainspring as well. Thanks, Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ParaGunner Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 I also shoot a P-16 and I run a 14lb recoil spring with a 18lb mainspring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nexus Posted August 12, 2010 Author Share Posted August 12, 2010 I also shoot a P-16 and I run a 14lb recoil spring with a 18lb mainspring. i used to have this setup but i can't control much of the recoil may be because of my build i only weight 141 lbs hehe . Any way thank you to every one who share your ideas and safe shooting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
