Hey guys,

Can I get your opinions on this please. I have a 13lbs for my G35 and I'm not sure if it will less recoil and speed up double taps or not. I run 5.2gn of 231 with a 180 bullet for a PF of about 173.
So will going to a lighter spring reduce recoil?
Thanks,
Trevor
 
slide might move better with lighter spring....but going too light means the slide may open up earlier,...or may sometimes not have enough too close up into battery...but that would only be if the gun is really dirty, or something wrong with ammo. It will not increase "double taps" speed..although the movement of the slide may be better,..hence less movement so Yeah...I guess it could seem to your eyes a faster sight aquisition.
The worse thing is too heavy of a recoil spring...as sometimes you may not get the slide moving enough and cause malfunctions....like brass not coming out as the slide does not move back enough or strongly enough.
 
Basically you are messing up with the timings of gun......a bit like valves on a car engine its has to be just right too light you will jam too heavy you won't cycle and jam.

All you need to do is shoot more to get use to the way your gun cycles...
 
Sounds like you're trying to find magic equipment that will let you "sight once, pull twice".

Believe it or not, even with an Open Gun, you should always see the sights before you pull the trigger. Your gun, even with a heavy spring, will cycle faster than you can "double tap". When a gun goes full auto, the shot to shot time is less than .10 seconds.

The way you reduce your split times is by practicing. I know many people hate hearing that you need to practice to get better, but it's the truth. Practice does 2 things: trains you to see the sights faster and builds up the muscles in your forearms to be able to control the gun better. Working out does not necessarily train the same muscles.
