At what round count do you replace the recoil spring on a P226 in 9MM? I bought a CPO P226 and have about 500 round on it. I don't want any frame or slide cracking issues. I replace the recoil spring on my 1911 at 2,000 rounds. |

I think Sigarms suggests replacement at 5K rounds. At the range I work at, we have an old W. German 226 rental gun that has had its spring replaced a couple of times. We don't keep a round count on the gun, but replace the spring when slightly limp-wristing it causes jams. The spring is only a couple of bucks, so buy a half dozen and you will be good to go for a long time. |
Last I read at Sigfourm most say 3k. It's cheap insurance. |
