Turtle Posted June 23, 2003 Share Posted June 23, 2003 I've read a lot of old posts and asked a few people that I shoot with locally, but I'll put this out here anyway. I'd like to run a lighter (wolff 12lb) recoil spring in my Glock 22 for production. I have a stainless guide rod with which to do it with, but is it USPSA Production legal? The load I'v been using is about 138 pf and if I go any lower with the factory 17lb spring, the gun will not cycle. Before I get the gun dialed in with a lighter load that won't work with the factory part, I'd like a definate answer on the legality of this. Thanks.

Matthew_Mink Posted June 23, 2003 Share Posted June 23, 2003 Yes it is legal. The only things you can't do the gun are on the outside, but they will let you change barrel and sights. And grip tape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flexmoney Posted June 23, 2003 Share Posted June 23, 2003 Right. You can change to stuff inside the gun. The only thing to look for is that the gun can't be more than 2 oz. heavier than stock. (You should be safe with a steel rod...even tungsten keeps you under that limit, I think.) Oh...I don't think you can remove material to make the gun ligher either (like lightening the slide by removing interior metal). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turtle Posted June 23, 2003 Author Share Posted June 23, 2003 That's what I thought. Thanks a lot for the replys and the info. I'll get to work at the loading bench, the Nat's are right around the corner. Safe travels and good luck to those who are going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BerettaRacer Posted June 23, 2003 Share Posted June 23, 2003 The tungston guide rod for my Beretta is 59 grams, which is 3 grams over the 2 ounce weight, but when you subtract the weight of the original, it leave you well within the 2 ounce limit. Can't say how things will be with other brands. YMMV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
