Alpha Pack – Recoil Springs (3 Pack) – Fits Glock 17 / 34 Gen 5
PLEASE DOUBLE CHECK DETAILS AND FITMENT BEFORE PURCHASE.
The Alpha Pack Recoil Springs (3 Pack) is built for Gen 5 full-size Glock setups that need a more deliberate approach to recoil tuning. This kit gives you three spring weights to help fine-tune slide speed, recoil feel, and cycling behavior based on the ammo you actually run. Whether the goal is a smoother range setup, a more controlled recoil impulse, or testing for load-specific performance, this pack gives you room to tune without guessing.
These springs are intended for full-size Gen 5 Glock recoil systems where slide length, slide mass, and recoil assembly dimensions matter. If the pistol feels overly sharp, cycles harder than it should, or just does not feel balanced with your current load, recoil spring tuning is one of the first smart places to look.

What it does
This kit gives you three recoil spring weights so you can better match the pistol’s recoil system to your ammo and overall setup. Changing spring weight affects slide speed, recoil impulse, cycling feel, and how the gun returns to target. That matters when you are trying to get a full-size Gen 5 Glock running cleaner, flatter, or more consistently with a specific load.
Why it’s worth it
This is the kind of part that earns its place because it lets you tune function instead of just throwing parts at a problem. A lighter or heavier recoil spring can make a noticeable difference depending on the load, the slide setup, and what you want the pistol to do. We try to keep practical gear like this on hand because it solves a real setup problem without wasting money on fluff.

Install notes
The 13 lb spring is a smart starting point for most standard 115gr to 124gr range ammo. The 15 lb spring may make more sense for hotter loads or for shooters looking for a more controlled recoil impulse. The 11 lb spring is better suited for softer loads or competition-oriented tuning where faster slide movement is desired. Like any tuning part, results depend on the full setup, including ammo, internals, slide configuration, and overall pistol condition.
Verify before you buy
Verify that your pistol is a Gen 5 full-size Glock pattern before ordering. This pack is not for compact, crossover, subcompact, or older-generation recoil systems. If you are trying to tune for a specific ammo load or build style, make sure you are selecting spring weight based on the actual setup and not just what sounds good on paper.
