Product Information

Recoil springs fit over your handgun's guide rod and control how the slide functions. In general, heavy loads need heavy springs and lighter loads need lighter springs. A spring that is too light can cause the handgun to open and close early and hard, increasing the felt recoil and battering the frame. A spring that is too heavy can cause the slide to be hard to open and could even keep the gun from cycling completely, jamming it. Installation requires disassembly and reassembly of the slide.

Technical Information

Fits:
  • Glock 17, 17L, 20, 21, 22, and 24
    Notes:
  • Current production factory Glock springs are 16 pounds. Early, non-captive versions of the 17, 17L and 19 have recoil springs of 19 pounds.
  • Recoil springs fit over a pistol's guide rod and control how the pistol's slide functions.
  • In general, heavy loads need heavy springs and lighter loads need lighter springs. There is no hard and fast rule as to how much "Spring" a pistol needs. Too light a spring and the pistol opens and closes early and hard, increasing the felt reoil and battering the frame. Too heavy a spring and the slide is hard to open and may not cycle completely, jamming the pistol.
  • Shooters who are using +P ammunition or self defense ammunition will likely need heavier recoil springs.
  • Shooters who are using target ammunition may be able to use lighter recoil springs.
  • Installation requires disassembly and reassembly of the pistol's slide.
  • Every recoil spring package contains a free extra power firing pin spring.
  • A non-captive guide rod spring is highly suggested. It keeps you from having to disassemble the factory Glock captive guide rod. Glock 17, 22, and 24 Guide Rod #741-473. Glock 20 and 21 Guide Rod #119-208. Glock 19 and 23 Guide Rod #329-334.
