fastlane604 Posted May 15, 2019 Share Posted May 15, 2019 I am using a CGW 15# spring on a CGW stainless guide rod. I shoot 145 Bayou Round nose and N320 that run 128+ power factor. Very accurate load but the brass drops from 0 to 2' from my feet. Has anyone tried using a 13# spring on their P-10 C? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Macinaw Posted May 15, 2019 Share Posted May 15, 2019 I recently purchased the CGW SS guide rod and the 15# flat spring for my P10F. The only springs they have are the 15# and 18# springs. I have not shot it yet. I was wondering if a 1911 round style spring would work in the P10 series of guns? That way it would be easy to go down to 13# or so. Anyone that has some advice, please help! Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t see a guide rod for the F on the website Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Macinaw Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 Yes, bought the P09 guide rod. Had to trim it down a little. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr_boone Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 When I talked to them they only said they recommend the 15# or the 18#. They have lighter springs. I'm using the 15# and mine doesn't throw brass very far either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dr_boone Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 the P09 guide rod is about 5/16" or so too long. it sticks out the front of the gen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guide rod for the P09 sticks out about a half inch on the P10F. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rowdyb Posted May 17, 2019 Share Posted May 17, 2019 on my p10f, the stock guide rod is just slightly flared at its end to capture the spring. i just depressed the spring, with some effort to hold it there, and turned the guide rod against a grinder really quick. the flare was removed and voila, a perfectly fitting ss guide rod that will take other springs. for free.

Superpipe9 Posted May 18, 2019 Share Posted May 18, 2019 Anybody know where we can get a 13lb recoil spring for the P10f? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rowdyb Posted May 18, 2019 Share Posted May 18, 2019 (edited) try the flat wire spring in 13lb from wilson combat?? https://shopwilsoncombat.com/Flat-Wire-Recoil-Spring-4-Compact-_-Professional-9mm-Chrome-Silicon-13-Lb/productinfo/651C13/ Edited May 18, 2019 by rowdyb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not sure if the diameter and length are compatible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Superpipe9 Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 Cajun gun works sent me a guide rod cut for the P10f and a 15lb recoil spring. I haven’t shot much with this combo yet but so far it is a lot better than the stock recoil spring. I can keep the dot in the middle 3rd or so of the DPP. It never leaves the window but that is also with a death grip as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trevor300wsm Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 I just installed the 15lb spring in my P10F. I’m just using factory 147gr Freedom Munitions. I’ll see how it behaves tomorrow. I also have some 124gr stuff on the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gianmarko Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 just reviving this thread i am looking for a replacement spring for my C10P. i want to shoot it in production optics but the standard spring is too hard and i need to make PF 140 ammo to get it to cycle reliably. i have machined a steel rod but cant get a standard spring to fit, i think a flat spring is needed. unfortunately, being based in europe, no access to CZC or CGW material does anyone know if i can adapt something else, maybe a glock spring or something? gm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
