    Old, worn out springs also track good sometimes...

    in my CZ I think I have only ever changed a recoil spring once due to it wearing out, and that was on the gun with 160,000+ rounds on it. It eventually got sluggish and I put a new 11lb in. I'd have to dig out the data book to figure out when I did it. I am pretty sure that's the only time I've done it.

    That's actually a good point. So far I have not been able to find factory 9lb recoil springs.

    There is a big difference in factory 140 pf ammo and tailored 132 pf loads.

    It only really matters if you're shooting IPSC (USPSA allows you to swap...)

    This thread sucks -- just spent $200 with Jäger Products getting guide rods and springs for my G19 MOS carry optics pistols.

    I know you're somewhat conditioned due to your experience with the CZs, but you really don't need 5 19s and the associated widgets.

    I had to get one for the 17 and 34, too.

    Don't you remember when you lost your fancy, expensive, new 226 guide rod in the snow, and had to get a metal detector to find it?

    My experience only:

    Changing out the stock RSA (recoil spring assembly) on my G34 and my G17 to a Jager stainless rod and a 13# spring both increased reliability and made for much faster followup shots. I tried 15#, 13#, 11# springs; shot factory loads, reloads (my competition reloads consistently run 133-134 PF), and defensive ammo; shot with the best grip I could manage and also the worst grip I could come up with using SHO and WHO and still retain the gun after the shot...

    ...for me, the 13# ISMI spring made everything (feed, lockback, etc) work no matter how much I tried to make it NOT work with poor/awkward grips, and had the best response in terms of the slide coming forward not making the muzzle dip, or the muzzle end high. YMMV.

    I REALLY do not like the stock RSA for Gen 4 Glocks.

    (For reference, I shoot my G34 in IDPA and USPSA.)


    I haven't messed with my recoil spring on my G19, but it is an older Gen 3, back before they screwed up the recoil spring assembly.
