dstein Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 Thinking about changing out the stock recoil spring on my 40 cal Edge with a 12 lb one to keep the muzzle from nosediving so much. Any thoughts? Thanks, Darrell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yeti Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 Do it. I shoot 171PF with 12 lb recoil and a 19 lb MS, works great. Most folks are using 12's & 13's for 180gr Major. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

motosapiens Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 +1 on either 11 or 12 lb. I personally couldn't tell a diff between the 2, when testing, so I stuck with 12 in my edge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
