mcb Posted September 27, 2005 Share Posted September 27, 2005 So I have seen the Sprinco Recoil Reducer for my XD and I'm wondering if this is legal for Limited-10? Second do they actually help your shooting? It seems to make sense, slowing the slide by increasing spring stiffness through the use of a second spring right before the sharp impact of the slide into the frame insert. I can definitly see how this would make your pistol last a bit longer but does it help with recoil control and getting your sights back on target quicker? Any one use these in their guns? Anyone use one in an XD-40? Thanks mcb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loves2Shoot Posted September 27, 2005 Share Posted September 27, 2005 In my experience, they change the way the gun feels, but that doesn't translate to making you shoot better or worse. So if you like teh feel better, go for it, but not because it will make you a better shooter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scorch Posted September 27, 2005 Share Posted September 27, 2005 I use one in my 45 kimber with a 13 pound spring and 200 grain bullets and I like it. the springco takes the waap out of the recoil on the fat bullet gun. would not think it would be that great for a minor load but have never used one in my XD. are they Legal in Production?

RayKu Posted September 28, 2005 Share Posted September 28, 2005 Hi Matt, Tried one in my Walther P99 before I traded for an XD. My impression was that it gave a more rolling recoil than a standard spring which I didn't like. I am not sure how it would feel in the XD, but I have to say that I currently love the XD with a 16# spring and Don's guide rod. Then again, I prefer a fast sharp recoil with less muzzle flip to a softer recoil with more flip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magchange Posted September 28, 2005 Share Posted September 28, 2005 can't say what it would do in an XD but I've ran one in my limited SV for years and I happen to like it really well. I run a 10lb recoil spring so it cycles fast but the slide doesn't self destruct. I have 50k through the gun at least 40k with the same sprinco in it.

dvc40jim Posted September 28, 2005 Share Posted September 28, 2005 The one thing that is for sure is you risk nothing trying it. Alan has a money back guarantee if you don't like it. If you decide to give it a try, the one thing I would tell you is that if you feel the "rolling" kind of recoil that some describe.... then you are sprung to heavily. The Sprinco is designed for, and loves a sharp fast recoil and that is the kind of recoil that allows the slide to move faster and allowing a "mass in motion" reduction of perceived recoil with less muzzle flip and dip.

mcb Posted September 28, 2005 Author Share Posted September 28, 2005 Thanks guys, I guess I might just give it a try and maybe reduce my recoil spring a bit more. Like RayKu I am also running a 16lb spring and one of Don's solid stainless steel guide rods in my XD-40 Tactical. Rayku I thought you were shooting a fancy STI or SV in limited? When did you get an XD? Is it a 9mm or 40S&W, I take its a Tactical? Thanks again mcb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
