MNS Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 I was thinking of running a 13# ISMI recoil spring for uspsa production. Anyone have any experience? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigfish Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 Ive been using a 14 lbs recoil spring with no problems with 147 gr bullets. I also have a reduced power striker spring. I tried an 11 lbs recoil spring but that was to light for the gun to be reliable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shooting for M Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 How light can you go with an M&P without changing the striker spring? Or is it completely different than a glock and no issues? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spence1300 Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 I recently switched from the 13 to the 11 and haven't had any issues yet. 147gr @ 130PF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HotLoad Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 11 was to light for me. I could run with gun and feel the slide moving just from swinging gun around. I use a 13# shooting 115gr. Don't think I have changed striker spring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roostershooter Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 How does putting a lighter spring in your 9 Pro affect recoil? Does it feel like a 'powder puff' shooter, or does it add felt recoil to the shot? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Stevens Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 I started getting a misfire about every 200 rounds with my 13 lb spring. Not a light primer hit, but no primer hit. The spring didn't have 1K rounds on it. I spoke to Dan Burwell who strongly suggested going back to the original recoil spring system. Sometimes the gun does not go all the way back into battery with the lighter spring according to Dan. I switched but haven't had a match since, so time will tell.

Tul9033 Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 I just switched to a 13 lbs. ISMI in my 9mm Pro running MG 124gr JHP @ 134 PF. I did notice reduced recoil, but had one odd failure in about 200 rds. The slide locked back with one rd still left in the mag. I'll prob take DB's advice and switch back to at least my 5K stock spring. The new stock springs are super stiff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fxdc Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 Pending on combined spring wt's with a 11lb recoil spring can lead to an Out of BaTTerY firing!!! I am running a 12lb on a kkm comped barrel with a 2 ports.... And gonna see if wolf has a 13lb that will fit my 5" core. Key factor is comp weight is it so heavy that you have to run a recoil that risk a out of battery firing on a striker fired gun? A lot of varibles when running a comp on a striker fired gun....
