I was surfing the net to see what was available for my new SD9VE and ran across Galloway Precision guide rods and springs. They say that the 17 pound springs are standard but they offer a light 15 pound spring as well.
Has anyone used the lighter recoil spring in their gun and how did it work?
I have been working up some handloads using 700X and 115 FMJ for the new gun.
4.0gr (FTE)
4.2gr (fires and ejects fine but will not lock slide back on empty)
4.4-4.5gr (100% functional)
I was thinking that a lighter spring would allow me to use lighter handloads for beginner shooters that would still function 100%. What do you guys think?
