which one is better for the 40 cal 17lb or the 20lb recoil spring

i put the 20lb spring in my sw40ve and my gun is awesome . . highly recommended

The 17 pounds spring gave me nothing but problems I would opt for the 20lb recoil spring assembly

Personal preference, intended use, type of ammo... all factors. I prefer a lighter recoil spring and would like a progressive spring rate ideally, but use the 15# with my sd40. If its 17 or 20, i'd opt for for the 17.

I would say the 20lb one is better for the .40 caliber for sure. The 17lb one is more for the 9mm.

... with the heavier caliber and greater energy loads I would go with the 20lb

Yes. They recommend the 6lb during pin spring for the 20 & 21. my kit came with a 4 and 6. I left mine stock, so it's not the lightest it can be, but damn good. http://www.ghostinc.com/product/GHO_RIK/Rocket-Trigger-Installation-Kit-for-Glocks-GEN-1-4.html If you're mechanically inclined and have a bit patience, you can do it yourself. TAKE your TIME. File slowly and test, over and over, to get it right. Or take it to your gunsmith. I have this in a G20 and a G35.

The product description states it will. I have a SD40VE with the 20 lbs spring and I absolutely recommend it! Made as well as my M&P 40's stainless guild rod. I picked the higher 20 lbs spring rate and I have had no ejection malfunctions( with .40 s&w, ranging from 60 to 180 gr ammo). My perceived recoil is better, smoother feeling.

I purchased a spring for the Axis 270. Changed the pull from 8lb to 5lb. Wish it would have been just a little lighter but is much better.

There was no question to answer. 17-40 is smaller and lighter but less range. Buy what YOU need.

I use the Laser Max on a 9mm shield. No recoil problem there. Just acquired one in .40 but haven't taken it to the range yet. I like the Galco IWB STO226 for the .40 (no LaserMax) and a Talon IWB holster for the 9 with LaserMax. they are both very comfortable and conceal well.

Neither. PRI. QC muzzle break is the best I have shot so far. Try it. You'll like it. Very little recoil and no muzzle rise.

The rifle shoots good does not have the recoil that the spring pellet rifle has. I would recommend.

Hi timothy I would use .20 gram with this gun it makes the gun a lot more accurate and the bbs shoot father I hope this helps u and have a nice day

Both are fine. As to which is"preferred" that's up to you. I like the 20mm personally.

Hi yes there is a spring but it doesn't help in recoil just in adjusting elevation you can't see it in the picture it is right where the arm pivots the weight you put on the sled cuts the recoil I like mine 3 1/2 magnum 12 gauge and no pain

They say it's the stock spring weight but when performing a recoil spring assembly test it failed. The test is when you pull the slide back and keep rear pressure on it up until one inch from the barrel, that's when you let it go. The slide is supposed to spring forward into battery. I replaced it with the stock spring which passes the test. Pat - cert. Glock Armorer

20 lbs. Is a heavy spring. It's for 180 gr +P or just Hot Ammo. I think 17 lbs. is what is called for in the 40 S&W Glock 22. It has the stander slide so 20 lbs. might be a bit much unless your issue ammo is HOT like +P ammo. I would not tamper my duty gun unless calling Glock first here. To much at stake here for liability reasons.

I would suggest the max 18, 16 to me feels really more accurate, you compensate a bit more with the heaviver dart like a 18g, but really, its all depends on your feel of the dart and what you like. To me the 16 feels good

I think the springs are 5 lbs. don't quote me. 3.5 is a good weight for that trigger

Not sure why you would need this, but the stainless steel guide rod measurement I found was 0.186" thick. The rod plus the modified springs provide less felt recoil. The previous answers are basically consistent with my view.
