racerba Posted January 7, 2005 Share Posted January 7, 2005 In another thread, the question of replacing recoil spring and rod was answered as to not being legal. My question is that can you modify the factory recoil spring? (i.e. trimming it so it becomes lighter). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flexmoney Posted January 8, 2005 Share Posted January 8, 2005 I can't speak to the IPSC rules, but I don't think you are allowed to "trim" anything...I believe that goes beyond the "minor detailing" that is allowed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Detlef Posted January 8, 2005 Share Posted January 8, 2005 Not permitted. Why worry to begin with??? --Detlef Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flexmoney Posted January 9, 2005 Share Posted January 9, 2005 Why worry to begin with??? 'cause it's hard to call/take the shot with a piece of brass hovering between the front and rear sight. (I shoot a stock rod and spring in my Glock 35. When I shoot my minor loads, it doesn't spit the brass very far. I can "catch up to it" when I transition to the right.)

Detlef Posted January 12, 2005 Share Posted January 12, 2005 Glock 35 is not permitted in IPSC PD anyway. Any other complaints? --Detlef Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flexmoney Posted January 12, 2005 Share Posted January 12, 2005 Well, you got me there. The point I was trying to make was that, with mousefart minor loads, "a gun" might run better with a lighter recoil spring. Again...not allowed in IPSC, but that is a reason (better cycling) to want to do it. (Thankfully, it is allowed in USPSA.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
