echotango Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 (edited) Anyone else having lock up issues with a lighter recoil spring? When cocked, it comes out of battery really easy. I can shake the gun back and forth and move the slide. Edited March 12, 2019 by echotango Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metricgoods Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 (edited) how light is the recoil spring? My plastic q5s/PPQs have similar "issues", so I use 13lb Glock recoil spring now. No issues anymore.... Edited March 12, 2019 by metricgoods Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
echotango Posted March 12, 2019 Author Share Posted March 12, 2019 It does it with a 13#. But I guess it is normal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
himurax13 Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 Memphis Mechanic stated that this is normal with most striker fire pistols with stock striker springs couples with lighter recoil springs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

highhope Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 yes, I think this is normal.. but what lighter striker spring can you use for Q5 or Q5sf? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
echotango Posted March 14, 2019 Author Share Posted March 14, 2019 (edited) An m&p striker spring fits. Stock m&p is 5#. I believe the stock walther is 6.5-7#. Test fired it today with WSP and it worked fine. And it took care of the loose slop when cocked. Edited March 14, 2019 by echotango Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
