Gen4 Glock recoil spring

Post by derek141 »

Has anyone heard an articulate reason for the change to a two stage recoil spring? It's going to cost more to replace than the original, which ain't broke to begin with.

The only reason I can think of to reduce recoil. I've got dual springs in a Taurus PT-145 and Baby Eagle - both .45. The recoil on the Taurus is very snappy as its a light gun. I have no reason why IWI felt compelled to put it on the Eagle. Its chrome and weighs a ton. Nice shooter...
No more catchy slogans for me...I am simply fed up...4...four...4...2+2...
