Noah my boy Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 I have built a full dust cover with a brazos slide, sti with an alum sti grip and a FDW frame.. Would like to know a start base of a recoil spring. I have an 11lb in there now and the recoil seems very strong.. Any ideas for a good start on a recoil spring weight to reduce recoil without dipping:) thanks... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
56hawk Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 I'm running a 13 and it feels pretty soft with major loads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blaster113 Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 If you have a lightened Brazos slide I'd start with a 12lb. Thats what was in my last Brazos gun which was a 5" with lightened slide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dsa Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 The recoil impulse may feel stronger because the aluminum grip is not flexing like the polymer grip does (slightly) in recoil. More of the impulse may be transmitted to your hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is currently running a 12lb recoil spring. He ordered a recoil master to see if that makes any changes. I believe that Brazos ships the pro series guns with 12lb springs.
