Rolex Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 Picked up a G23 the other day,G3, and see that it has two recoil springs. I am putting in a LW conversion .9mm barrel. Can I use a one piece SS guide rod with and 13lb. spring, Or should I stay with the two piece set up. I will be shooting minor pf- only.

Round_Gun_Shooter Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 Sounds like a Gen 4 Not a Gen 3. I would see how it runs with the G23 springs. I found my Gen 4 G23 and my Gen 4 G19 springs are the same. (I tried them) I like the recoil reduction in the G23 I am feeling in my poor hands with the 357SIG barrel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lee blackman Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 Was that G23 used? The 2-piece is probably aftermarket. I swore I recalled some aftermarket double recoil spring system available for the Gen 3, but now I can't find it. EFK Fire dragon maybe? Some people really like the dual spring systems. Its a preference, but the gun should run just fine with either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SPRSkip Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 I have a gen 4 G23. So it is the double spring. For my plinking loads I do have to go to a lighter spring but for full power 9's it works fine with the original GEN 4 spring. I say try it with your combination.

Rolex Posted January 16, 2013 Author Share Posted January 16, 2013 Strange, its new in the Box, from a dealer, and its a G3 with out Question. Just thought it was strange to have a Two spring set up. Could it be a late issue G3, I looked a my friends G23 and it Only has one spring. Or maybe a late change to duel springs To help tame the .40 recoil.

a.roberts Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 Might be a Springco or something similar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
