I bought a G48 a few months ago and finally got around to firing a box of 147gr Federal HST through it. I noticed the cycling had a sluggish feel to it when compared to ball ammo. This was especially noticeable when I would hold the trigger back and not reset it until the gun cycled. Whenever I did that, the slide would be a fraction of an inch out of battery and then fully return once I reset the trigger. I haven't had any malfunctions with this gun using the HSTs or with the 500 or so ball rounds I've fired, but this gives me a bit of hesitation to carry it.
In another thread many people felt the single stack Glocks are a little undersprung from the factory. I found a company Centennial Defense Systems that makes a 19 lb recoil spring for the G43/43x/48 (factory is 17 lb). Do you guys think a stronger aftermarket recoil spring could help with feeding reliability with duty ammo?
