rudder Posted February 1, 2023 Share Posted February 1, 2023 Springfield Prodigy ships with 12 lb. recoil spring, and 23 lb. hammer spring. Springfield states commander length spring will not work. Officers springs start at 16 lb. too heavy. IT appears that Wolff, and ISMI make commander and officers springs. Anyone know where to get a Prodigy recoil spring over 12 lbs? Thanks.

shred Posted February 2, 2023 Share Posted February 2, 2023 Cut down a commander or full length spring? The actual poundage may change, but it will be predictable spring-to-spring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ltdmstr Posted February 2, 2023 Share Posted February 2, 2023 (edited) I compared the stock Springfield Prodigy 4.25 recoil spring with a Wolff Commander 10 lb recoil spring and specs are below. I also installed the Commander spring in the Prodigy and gun cycles fine with no binding. Which makes sense because the Wolff spring is actually fewer coils and smaller diameter wire, so fully compressed, it is shorter than the stock spring. I haven't had a chance to try it with live rounds, but I expect it will work fine. Only downside I see is that it's a bit more difficult to assemble the gun with the longer free length. Prodigy 4.25 recoil spring OAL = 4.25" coils = 22 wire o.d. = .043" Wolff Commander recoil spring OAL = 5.5" coils = 21 wire o.d. = .038" Edited February 2, 2023 by ltdmstr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ltdmstr Posted June 6, 2023 Share Posted June 6, 2023 The 10# Commander spring works fine in my 4.25 Prodigy with 135 pf ammo. Not sure what the stock spring is rated at, but the 10# Wolff definitely feels lighter. Also, I spoke to Springfield Custom Shop rep at the NRA show a couple months back and he confirmed that the Commander spring is fine in the 4.25 model.

jripper Posted November 1, 2023 Share Posted November 1, 2023 I'm currently using an 8lb wolff commander spring in my 4.25 prodigy and 135 power factor loads. With my loads and the 10 lb, the brass just trickled out of the gun. I really like the recoil impluse and can track the dot very well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
