Recoil Springs

[dukhunt]

Need some information on recoil springs. Has anyone had any problems with ISMI recoil springs fitting on a lightening strike guide rod? This is on a Glock 17, ordered a lightening strike stainless steel guide rod with reduced power ISMI spring, and the springs will not fit on the guide rod. Any information is appreciated.

If it’s a non- captured rod it will not fit,

Their captured rod should work.

Go with Wolff springs. The ISMI springs I have used havent lasted too long.

thanks guys for the info. this is a non-captured rod . springs are just to tight to go on the rod. thanks for the info. will buy wolf springs instead.

What is the weight of the spring? I am using a 13lb ISMI spring with a noncaptive stainless steel guide rod on a G-35. Seems to work fine. It is a bit tricky getting it in the first few times. Have not had an issue with it lasting.
