rougeqc21 Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 (edited) Question, what lb recoil spring are you running on your P320F? I am getting some anemic ejections just barely 2 feet away from me using a 15lb spring that is brand new shooting Aguila 115s. Tried some bluelakes 147s and those similarly just sputter out. A 13# didn't make a lot of difference though they did eject a foot or so further. Just wondering what folks are running out there. Also, when running the 147s, I have had some double feeds for the first time ever. So that is what led med down the spring rate path.

floater Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 I'm running a 13# in and p320RX full size with 147 Blue Bullets at 130 Power factor on a GGI stainless rod and have had zero problems. Stock Sig 21 round mags and 17 rounders have never done anything but work. With the stock spring and rod I did see some brass hit the dot, but with a 15# and a 13# spring that quite happening. I will say that I have not really watched my ejection but it has never been a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave33 Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 I'm running a 13lb spring in my 320 X5. It doesn't sling brass way out there but does throw it considerably farther than the stock spring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rougeqc21 Posted July 1, 2018 Author Share Posted July 1, 2018 Some good variety in poundage here, haha. Any of y'all have an approximate idea on how far ejection is going? Maybe 2 feet is normal on these pistols... My S2 & 92 slings em 6ish feet is why I am curious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff_Alan Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 Never measured but approximately 5’. I have went as low as 10lbs but seam the brass hit my optic edge but that was with a new gun. Need to try both 10 and 11 again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

George16 Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 I don’t decide what recoil spring weight I’ll use based only on the ejection rate of the cases. I focus more on the reliability and how much muzzle rise/flip or lack thereof to get me back quickly on target for faster target reacquisition. I also tailor it to my loads and as of right now, the 10# springs works well with my 130pf reloads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
