Sprinco Recoil Reduction System.

[Brian Lee]

Does this thing actually work? Anybody here got one? Just thinking about getting it for my new 10MM G20 that still needs it's stock plastic spring guide rod replaced anyway.

[Mamaluke]

No offense, but why did you purchase a caliber that you can not handle?

[Brian Lee]

I didn't say I bought a caliber I can't handle. As I said, my plastic rod needs replacing anyway, and if it can be replaced with one that makes second shot follow-ups quicker and more precise, why not? That would be very much in keeping with the reasons I bought the gun.

Should I never buy better shock absorbers for a car because someone might say my butt can't handle the stock ride?

[Mamaluke]

Everyone has a fascination with size and weight. Many take steroids and grow but can't fight a lick. Many...not you...purchase big calibered handguns with nuclear tipped ammo which they can not handle. BTW, bad analogy, a better one would be if you purchase a 500 horse power car and manipulate the chip to produce 250 HP.

Pick a fight elsewhere bub. The 10Mm has hunting potential for medium game where the smaller guns do not. Shooting very few shots during hunting is different than buying a gun for firing 200 rounds a day at the range.

You clearly lack the expertise to answer the question, so thanks for ruining my thread with with smart remarks.

[BManoftheyear]

have you tried to google that part and read any reviews?I haven't heard of it but if it does help that would be nice.
I bet 10mm has a good kick to it huh?I have never shot a 10mm before is it bad on recoil?

First time you bring up hunting. I'd reduce the androgenic steroids if I were you "bub"...judging from the toughness with which you type.

keep it all STOCK them thing are a waste of your money

[Brian Lee]

Mamaluke what??? Steroids?? Toughness?? Whooey!

You jumped with a semi-insult without first being very imaginative about the many valid reasons why people buy 10MM's. And your remark...

"BTW, bad analogy, a better one would be if you purchase a 500 horse power car and manipulate the chip to produce 250 HP."

......is pretty illogical since recoil reduction does not in the least bit reduce the power of the gun.

And you're contributing nothing here.... Sooo, Thanks for stopping by.......



Manoftheyear:
I don't know why I didn't think of google. I'm going to do that now. The Sprinco deal is about 80 bucks where as the other solid stainless rods are 20. I just bought the G20 and have not fired it yet, but it can't be any worse than a .44 mag or the other big revolvers out there. I'll post my impressions after I try it out.

My experience with them has not been positive. Some claim they work but I believe they will make your pistol unreliable. I have also been told that the satisfaction or money back claims on the manufacturers site have not been honored either.

Good to know. This is exactly the kind of feedback I was hoping for, since my gun will double as a woods defense weapon, and reliability is what I was concerned about.



Cool avatar Happyguy.... Is that an actual picture of your own cat, or is it a fake?

I brought up testosterone in response to his post wherein he said he did not want a "wimpy" caliber (edited since to hide his insecurities).

[1-2man]

That was the single best thing I ever did to my Glock. It would jam up like a champ. It made the gun less boring and much more fun.

There is some thing "WRONG" with you. Stop picking fights. The guy asked a simple question. Jeez.

My only experience with Sprinco was when I tried to order their recoil reduction system (double spring) for a Walther P99. They first postponed and then canceled my order because they couldn't get a necessary component. I was not impressed.

What does work for a G20 is the Glockmeister tungsten guiderod with a 24 lb. spring. It reduces recoil and limits muzzle flip.

I have also heard from guys on the 10 Ring that the 6 inch Glock barrel for the G20 actually reduces felt recoil by adding leveraged weight at the tip of the barrel. I have a friend who received his 6 inch barrel today but I won't know the results from his test firings for a few weeks.

Oh, if you don't like the tungsten guiderod, you might consider the Glockmeister steel guiderod with a 24 lb. spring.

In my tests with a 24 lb spring, there were some failures to eject shooting the first mag with Remington ammo (weak). There was never a FTE using Double Tap and the problems with Remington went away after the first mag. I guess the spring has to get broken in. I had the same result using a 20lb spring in a G17. Once the spring broke in, there was never another problem.

I fell into a freebie one a while back and gave it a whirl in a G21. The G21 is far from a hard hitting gun, but the Sprinco thj tie definitely made it softer and faster back on target. I put probably around 5K rounds through that gun without any failures. As with everything gun related YMMV on the reliability front, so give it a thorough work up before betting your life on it. The negatives that people mention is that the sights track differntly so if you're used to how your sights track you will have to get used to the new track as the as second spring begins it's compression. This info is first hand from a friend who shoots Glock in IDPA. Said it was just different not bad just not what he was used to. As far as other issues you need to be specific on what loads you will shoot when you buy. They have different strength spring combinations for soft loads or super duper hot loads. Get a strong spring and try to run normal ammo out of it and your not going to be very reliable.
