I'm wondering what weight recoil spring are you guys running in your G34. I have a extra Lonewolf guide rod and usually reuse the factory spring but want to change it up a little on the G34.
Thanks, Kirch |

I shoot Atlanta Arms 147 grain 9mm and use a noncaptured 13lb ISMI recoil spring.

Quoted:
the general concensus in comp is a 13# spring . its whta i run in both my MP9 and G34 and have had no problems I tried an uncaptured Wolff 14lb and a captured IMSI 13lb. Ended up sticking with the 13lb...not sure why. FWIW, Dave Sevigny used a 14lb Wolff when he shot for Glock, but that might have just been a sponsorship thing. |
| for USPSA style practical shooting less muzzle flip is the objective...for a 9mm gun like the G34 and G17 I shoot, you can make the bottom power factor of 125,000 (bullet weight in grains x velocity) with a 147grain bullet at just over 850fps....a little experimentation with springs, and you get a fast sight tracking pistol without much muzzle flip.... and many find the lighter springs track faster at the lower bullet velocities (target score minus penalties divided by time wins)... I'm an old fart, and like to run springs with heavier initial specifications, and let them take set at a lower rate... 147 bullets shoot considerably more accurately in both my pistols, and more reliably knock down steel |
