Shoot 6-10 rounds at 5-7 yds as fast as you can AND as fast as you can hit A zone. May be different for some. Compare muzzle raise, slide-slam dip and time for each string with each spring weight. I got faster splits, less raise, less dip and higher hit factor as i dropped spring weight. 6# with 2 coils cut on a slide ride CO gave me the least motion and highest HF. As they say, YMMV.

I was having some FTRB every now and then with the 8lb, and I cant see the gun running any better with anything lighter than that. Im just trying to figure out how yall get them to run reliably with such light springs! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zombywoof Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 I couldn't get my gun to the 8 pound spring when it was fairly new. It runs no problem now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ran 50 rounds through it last Tuesday at a practical night, not one hiccup with the 7lb spring, ran and felt awesome. I have polished my rails, not to a mirror but wayyyy better than factory.

I like how quickly the slide closes, but it doesn't seem to over return for me. So much tweeking that can be done! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm old, slow and not very experienced, but here's a vid showing the 6# recoil spring with 130 pf 135grain bullets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
