From the Forge Files
We usually start G17/G34 builds with the 13lb recoil spring. It’s the most balanced option for common 115–124gr ammo. From there, we tune up or down based on how the gun cycles.
For striker springs:
-
4.5lb is our go-to — best balance of feel and reliability
-
6lb if you want maximum ignition reliability
-
4lb only when running consistent ammo with softer primers
Forge rule: Tune recoil first. If slide speed is wrong, nothing else feels right.
