Miggz55 Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 Wondering what weight mainspring and recoil springs folks with 9mm Edge pistols are using for best results in 3gun and USPSA shooting 135 limited power rounds? I have a dawson edge with stainless guide rod and just added the extended striker and extra power spring. I added a 19lb mainspring and not sure what weight the current recoil spring is. The mainspring feels a lot tighter than my DVC 3gun was, so thinking I went a bit too heavy. Thanks for your feedback Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
louu Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 17# mainspring. Get a 8, 9 and 10 pound recoil spring, take them all to the range along with your timer. Time your double taps at 10 yards. The spring that gives you the fastest, tightest groups is the spring for you, your gun and that ammo. Wolf springs.

louu Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 Also make sure the recoil springs are the right length for your gun and the ends are deburred Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Excursion12 Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 I had what I believe was a 15# (came with the gun) mainspring in my gun for a while. It eventually started having light primer strikes. I don't think I will go below 17# again. It sure did rack smoothly with that light spring though!

Miggz55 Posted March 10, 2019 Author Share Posted March 10, 2019 I just ordered a 17#and 15# to try out... the 19 seems a bit overkill, especially with the extended firing pin w/extra power springOrdered some recoil springs to try out too...Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dane460 Posted March 10, 2019 Share Posted March 10, 2019 I run a 17# mainspring and found a 10lb recoil worked best with factory and my reloads Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miggz55 Posted March 24, 2019 Author Share Posted March 24, 2019 I've had some success with a 15lb mainspring and 8lb recoil spring... only a couple hundred rounds so far, so well see if that keeps up. I have the 17lb spring to try if it doesnt.Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dapribek Posted March 24, 2019 Share Posted March 24, 2019 I was running a 12lb spring in my 9mm Dan Wesson with good results. The 11lb resulted in my slide seeming sluggish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlappyMcTrigger Posted March 30, 2019 Share Posted March 30, 2019 17 lbs. mainspring and a 9 lbs. recoil spring in my 9mm edge with my reloads (140ish pf). Like what was suggested earlier, get a few springs and have a friend with an iPhone film you from the side in slo-mo. See which spring returns the pistol to zero with the least amount of sight noise using your ammo, grip, stance, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
