magpulled Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 Grams is top of the list for me too. Tried tti but grams work better for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChuckS Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 Grams. I have been using them since 2000 and still see no reason to change... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcalvert Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 Grams are the gold standard, use them and you can eliminate the spring as the potential problem. dcalvert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluedevil008 Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 I've been using TTI for years and have not had any issues. I replace them twice per year. Whatever you choose, use the same brand follower. i.e. Grams follower with Grams springs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrashDodson Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 I tune mags and shoot quite a bit. I have found that grams springs last longer than TTI. If I forgot and left a mag full of ammo for a few days with TTI springs, they were pretty much trashed. Grams seem to hold their shape longer. I am replacing springs about every 3-4 months. My current setup is I rotate in new match springs and rotate out the old springs for practice. I use SVI tubes with TTI base pads. I make sure to unload the mags at the end of every match or practice. I tune the feed lips every 3 months or so and before every major match. If you have "gun" problems with a good 2011, 99% of the time its mag related. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Staying compressed for a few days wont ruin a magazine spring. Springs will take a initial set and that initial set is important as it "remembers" it but after that its cycle count is what matters not leaving them compressed for a few days.

CrashDodson Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 From what I have found, if I accidentally leave them loaded for a week, I will have feeding issues the next time I try to use them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
