Glock – Springs

Spring upgrades allow you to fine-tune your Glock’s cycling behavior, trigger feel, and recoil control—key factors for competitive shooters in USPSA, IDPA, and IPSC. This category includes recoil springs, striker springs, and calibration kits designed to optimize performance under match conditions.

You’ll find recoil springs in a variety of weights to match your ammunition type, compensator setup, or shooting division. Lighter springs are commonly used with soft-shooting match loads to ensure faster cycling, while heavier springs support hotter rounds or help manage slide speed in compensated builds. Many setups include paired guide rods for drop-in installation.

Striker and firing pin spring kits are available for tuning ignition reliability and trigger reset speed. Complete calibration kits offer a range of spring weights, allowing shooters to test and refine their configuration for accuracy, reliability, and compliance with division rules.

When selecting a spring setup, consider your Glock model and generation, as spring dimensions and compatibility can vary. It’s also important to match spring tension to your load and slide configuration to avoid malfunctions like short cycling or light strikes.

Correctly matched springs contribute to smoother slide operation, consistent ejection, and better control during rapid strings—making them a small but meaningful upgrade for serious competitors.
