Aldila Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 I recently got a new marauder 2011 9mm. I've been told the stock recoil spring is 12#?? This will just be a fun gun and will shoot 115 gr. I had a STI trojan 9mm with a aftermarket 10# spring, but not sure which brand. That trojan was the funnest gun to shoot I've ever owned. I'm trying to get this marauder to feel similar in terms of recoil. If the Marauder is in fact a 12# spring, would a 10# be suggested in order to try and achieve similar recoil of the trojan? Also, what brand is recommended? I plan on adding the dawson tool less guide as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wgj3 Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 Plenty of good recoil springs out there...Wolff, ISMI, Sprinco, etc... Going to have to try a couple different ones and see what you like best. Differences in the weight of the 2 slides and numerous other things will mean that they aren't going to feel exactly the same even if you do have the exact same spring in each one. Try a 10#, maybe even a 9#, and it might be that you like the 11# better... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aldila Posted February 3, 2017 Author Share Posted February 3, 2017 Thanks for the info. I'm getting conflicting info on what the stock spring is..some say 10, other say 12... I've yet to hear back from STI on the matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
