Recoil reducing system for "tennis" ellbow

Recommended Posts

Hello guys,

I have a CZ TS in .40 and really love this gun.

But since nearly a year I´m fighting with my tennis ellbow and can´t heal it until now (still trying).

I can shoot 9mm without any probs, but the .40s hurt after a couple of shots.

So I want to reduce the recoil of my TS, to shoot it without pain.

Is anyone having experiences with recoil reducing systems, like DPM or Sprinco, and wants to help me with tips or info?

All I found till now is some advertise videos.

:(

I have the recoil "reducers" on about six different guns. I think they are worth the $ because the dual rate springs prevent the slide from hitting the frame. Also, since the recoil spring is captive, I never have to fight with the spring during cleaning.

However, I have never perceived in any change in recoil.

I also have had tennis elbow and tendonitis many times. I think it is caused more by over gripping the gun than recoil, but yours may be different.

Which one do you use?

Sprinco, DPM or some others?

I wasn't crazy about the feel of the Sprinco, actual reduction of recoil was very slight, but it added a little bounce.

Thank you kneeling atlas for your help.

I ordered now a Pak form Wolff springs, hope that they will fit.

:D

I used the Springco type in my Beretta 92. I use the "norecoil.com" types in my other autos like SIG 226, SA XD, Glock 35, and a couple of others my old brain doesn't remember right now.

Warning: had a problem with the Glock. As you pull the trigger, the slide would move just slightly out of battery and the barrel hood would drop maybe .010" - .020" . Went back to the stock recoil spring (no problem then).

The recoil "reducers" work by using a very light spring followed by a second strong spring so the slide has less resistance coming out of battery. That reduces the peak recoil impulse since the moving slide mass uses up recoil energy. That's the theory anyway.

Here are some:

The ones I have are well made and do eliminate frame battering.

As I said, if there is any reduction in recoil, it is so small I can't feel the difference. But perceived recoil is highly subjective and you may feel a change.

The slide coming out of battery typically moves against the recoil spring but also the hammer spring which is stronger so a small reduction in the recoil spring is considerable less in effect.

YMMV
