e-mishka Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 Im trying out lighter hammer springs. So far da pull is a lot lighter and sets off federal primers no problem. Will try to find some tula to test. Ill report back with spring brand and weights when im confident enough in them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
attrapereves Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 What do you make of this? http://www.glockforum.com/forum/f25/k100-mk7-grand-power-barrel-failure-28939/ I almost wonder if someone was shooting overpowered reloads or a squib happened. My only other explanation is metal failure... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will try to find some tula to test. Ill report back with spring brand and weights when im confident enough in them. I just threw a 13 lb hammer spring from an EAA Witness into my K100 - I'll see what primers it'll set off on Tuesday (I've got rounds loaded with Tula and Federal primers.) As to the K100 blowing up - are there not examples of every make of gun having a blowup? Obviously when you see something like that it is concerning...but the gun has been around a while now and I imagine if this was a problem we'd know about more incidences of it...

NicVerAZ Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 I have played with springing as well. I would say that a lighter recoil spring actually helps with competition, close to PF floor, loads, as otherwise the pistol tends to stove pipe a bit. On the other hand: you are increasing the stress on the hammer. You are at risk of a hammer fracture. ASK ME HOW I KNOW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know about e-mishka, but I haven't messed with the recoil spring yet...only the trigger spring. Not sure I will mess with the recoil spring - I haven't shot a gun that returns to the target as well as this K100, so I may never mess with the recoil spring.

Sandbagger123 Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 i have a 11# spring sitting around and might try shortening it and install it a and see what happens. So where does one get a 13# spring for the eaa from? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cpa5oh Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 I didn't shorten the 13# spring...as long as the spring doesn't get into coil bind (coils hitting coils when compressed, which doesn't happen in this case,) I don't know what you get out of a shorter spring...I don't think these springs are progressive rate (i.e., don't get stronger as they compress...)

Sandbagger123 Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 as promised i grab my 11# spring i bought to use in my Mp and G34. for whatever reason when I got it, it was quite a bit shorter than the OEM Glock or SW. So i tried it uncut to see if it would go on the k100. went right in with no problems. slide has full travel. going by feel, the 11# did not feel much different than the stock one. I will try to get tot the range this weekend and swap them around and see what happens top is the 11#. bottom stock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cpa5oh Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 Tonight, I shot about 60 rounds with tula primers using the 13# eaa witness hammer spring - not one light strike and no problems of any kind. Probably gonna to run it at our local match this weekend... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

e-mishka Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 I don't have a scale, but with 13# hammer spring it feels to me no more then 6# in da. cpa5oh, have you measured yours? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cpa5oh Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 I've not measured mine (don't have a trigger pull gauge...should buy one, though.) I don't know if it's as low as 6 lbs DA, but it's pretty good. Gonna do some work on the sear next... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stan-O Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 I don't have an easy access to a chronograph and I just switched to Clays Universal so if anyone has chronoed the loads with Berry's plated 124gr bullets, please do share. You guys who experiment with the hammer spring -- any chance you could measure the difference in DA/SA with the trigger gauge? PS. I do have a problem chambering reloads as well -- my X-Trim is sensitive to the cases not being resized full-length and being a bit thicker towards the bottom. My GP6C was the same with both barrels (I've had a 4.25" and 5" barrels for it). PPS. Regarding the holsters -- I've had no major problems (besides loosening some screws) fitting my X-Trim into Blade-Tech GP6 holster, but the LHS X-Calibur holster I have received very recently works better. It would also fit X-Calibur when I get it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I pre-process my brass and never run into a fat round at the wrong time. Glad you like the LHS Holster. I can't wait until I get the new mag pouches in.
