Killer Innovations 13 lbs recoil spring range tested in Glock 19 Gen 3/Gen 5

‪@KillerInnovationsYT‬ did this one right. The spring with adapter for the Gen 33,4,5

[@jamesatkins3649]

My NDZ 13 lb spring for gen 4 just came in and it’s installed. Did a full mag slide release test, faced the gun up to let it fight gravity… works like a champ. Thanks for test idea

[@tristenwilliams2707]

Thanks, I'm planning on ordering for my gen 3 😁

[@1970banjoman]

Just installed this spring set on a gen 5 19 with Norsso slide, Holosun 507, and Strike Ind micro circle comp. Will test shortly. Thanks for the video.

[@Glizz999]

Any update yet on this build? Mine is very similar but with SI micro comp quad.

[@1970banjoman]

​@@Glizz999The 13lb recoil spring in my gen 5 caused failures to feed reliably. Went back with oem and runs top notch.

[@iruamak8225]

did you run a comp? and what grain ammo @@1970banjoman

[@sheadailey3155]

Thank you have one in the mail

[@frankbrown9117]

Only thing I didn't like was the adapter can fit both directions. Haven't gotten to fire mine yet. But it's installed.

[@shwathekid]

Lovin this, working on my G19 build and going with a threaded arc division comp, been told the stock recoil spring is finicky so I had my eye on killer innovations 13lb spring. Was curious if you ever got word back from the guy that commented about the 15lb?

[@JARG]

I tested 15 and 13

[@tyronedelgado3474]

Which one is better

[@biker1958]

I’ve run an 11# spring on my Glock 34 gen 3 for years, absolutely no problems.

[@JARG]

Ordered one 2 days ago. Thx man

[@BryanEmenecker-nf4xp]

What grain bullet you shootin bro ? I’m gonna do it to my G34 Gen5

[@biker1958]

@@BryanEmenecker-nf4xp I run them all, 115, 124, 147, gr, absolutely no problems whatsoever.

[@mr.glickems5103]

Question. So my p80 had a problem that the p80 were weight too light that cause the recoil weak to extract the spent case ( limp wrist) so i’m thinking does the lighter recoil spring will make my glock recoil heavier so that it could extract the spent case easier? Is that 13 or 15lbs possible to fix it?

[@JARG]

If your spring is too heavy, the slide will not go back far enough to eject and cycle. If the recoil spring is too light, it will cycle but not go into battery or when trigger is pulled, the slide will rock back

[@mr.glickems5103]

@@JARG i see the point now. Thanks for the education bro

[@ryanhawkins4638]

I just put a parker mountain comp and barrel on my 19x. I test fired 115 grain and was jaming. Oem 18 lbd spring in it just grabbed an ndz 15lbs spring hoping to cycle better. Thoughts?

[@JARG]

Normally a feed problem is a mag. What is happening to yours

[@JARG]

Recommended the 13lbs spring

[@JARG]

For real let me know on the 15 spring. Does it work with PM Comp?

[@703Youngster]

So if it didn’t slide didn’t rack the first round would you move to a 20lb or something less then oem ? I have g19 with zaffari precision slide it has cut outs so the slide is definitely lighter then oem

[@JARG]

No it’s only to lighten the recoil. If you like oem. Use it

[@703Youngster]

@@JARG what’s my problem then ? the g19 doesn’t cycle the rounds it feeds wrong but if i hit the slide it works i have a video on my channel if you’d like to see and idea of what i mean i’d really like to resolve my issue the gun just been sitting

Hey how is it going would a steel spring guide rod 15lb work good on a stock G19 gen 3?

[@333Kdigital]

That's my favorite set up for my gen 3 19

[@unlikelyhero830pope3]

I recently added a Comp on my glock19 gen 3 . And I left the OEM recoil spring . I’m new to the whole comp community . Would you recommend changing the recoil spring ? I wanna know how they work with each other , like how the recoil spring affects the comp . Because I did have a few failure to eject . Not a lot but few.

[@JARG]

@@unlikelyhero830pope3 a lighter recoil spring will help the FTE. Dont go too lite or it’s not heavy enough to feed when a new mag inserted. Factory should be like 15lbs. I would go with a 13lbs spring

[@unlikelyhero830pope3]

@@JARG thank you , I’ll get a 13lb and see how it goes . But as well isn’t OEM 17lb or 15lb? Just wanted to double checking .

[@ExplorinInTheWoods]

Can you try it with a griffin micro comp?

[@JARG]

I did the first gun. The 19 Gen 3 was with the Micro

[@kevinjohnson3925]

What's the point of a lower spring weight causing more recoil? All the ppl I compete with do.the same. I'm running a 20 lb spring in my 19. Lowers recoil and speeds up follow shots.

[@JARG]

@@kevinjohnson3925 reduced spring softens recoil also I run a comp which reduces recoil and may or may not run we standard spring

[@petervu9773]

being a lighter spring does it return to battery after a press check ?

[@JARG]

I have not had any issues

[@ricklastname9427]

Any update on how this has been running for the last 7 months? (Assuming you left it in and didn't replace it to test something else lol)

[@JARG]

I liked it so much I put the 13 lbs springs in 4 of my Glocks. The P80 however needs a stronger spring

[@ricklastname9427]

They are straight blow back operations

is the 13lb recoil also good for a glock17? thanks❤

​@@JARGso, do i need to replace the stock striker spring with a lighter spring rate? worried about possible light strikes and failure to battery .. thanks again for any advice ❤

[@trishjms]

@@attybongI have a gen 5 and the 13lb spring wouldn’t work with stock striker spring. When I pulled the trigger it made the slide move slightly because the striker spring was over powering the recoil spring.
