Question: which one is better for the 40 cal 17lb or the 20lb recoil spring
Document: I am very happy with my replacement guide rod and I noticed the slide is tighter and the slide release is much more &#34;authoritative&#34; than it was before. I think the .40 cal SD pistol also uses a 17lb. spring and rod but I recommend you visit Galloway's website before ordering. I am very pleased with my purchase.
Arrived quickly from Galloway (as have my other orders from them) and was a perfect fit for my 40VE. I cant speak to the softening of recoil as it feels the same as the stock plastic rod and 17lb spring in that regard, but it definately cycles rounds like a beast, tossing brass a few yards further and havent had a failure to return to battery or to lock back the slide after the last round.
These Galloway Precision guide rods may seem a little pricey at first glance, but what is your's and your family's life worth should it come to that? If you own one of these pistols, YOU GOTTA GET ONE.....PERIOD!! I chose the 17lb spring and think it is perfect.
I bought the 20lb stainless rod and spring assembly and wow what a difference, it fit my sd40ve perfectly and made me love my pistol even more. I know some people say a stronger recoil spring doesnt help perceived recoil and there are just as many people who say it does. well let me tell you that i have been perceiving less recoil ever since i bought it, maybe its a placebo effect idk. next time i go shoot ill take both springs and see if theres really a difference.
I just figured that if I had sent the gun in for repair that the most I would get out of the repair would be an identical replacement guide rod and recoil spring so I bit the bullet (no pun intended) and purchased the 17lb. spring and steel guide rod from Galloway. I had a chance to go to the range today and out of 100 rounds that I fired through my SD pistol, I had zero failures whatsoever. I recommend the 17 lb.
Very nice, inexpensive upgrade to me sd40ve (which I really like by the way, and Im a Glock fan boy). Highly recommend, its a well built beautiful piece that goes with the stainless steel slide of this series of pistols. I really cant find one bad thing to say about this. I ordered the 17lb spring, FYI.
Awesome buy guys! I got the 22lb one for my SW 40ve and it's a night and day difference when managing recoil. I put 200 rds though my weapon the day I installed it and had ZERO malfunctions. I was nervous that the 22lb spring was overkill and would affect the weapon cycling but like I said I have had ZERO malfunctions to date.
I got the 20lb version, and it makes the recoil feel crisp, and I feel much more confident without the piece of plastic in a high stress location.
If you have your SD9VE to shoot for fun sometimes, you don't really have to change the plastic guide rod. But if you carry it every day like me, You need something reliable like this one. I got a 20lb stainless steel and it fits great. I'm never gonna be worried about this guide rod to fail.
Significantly better than the OEM plastic guide rod. Reduces recoil slop making for better aim and reduced time in getting sight back on target. This is a must for any SDVE owner.
Answer: yes
