BUFF7MM
☠Buff➐㎣☠
Can someone tell me what the (not sure of the correct terminology) tension weight of an OEM recoil spring is for a G17? I’ve seen 11, 13, 15, and 17 pound springs but I’m not sure about factory weight.
Depends whether it's a GEN3 or GEN4. OTOH, why not just buy a new one from Glock?

IIRC, factory weight for 9mm is 13lbs.
Current production factory Glock springs are 16 pounds. Early, non-captive versions of the 17 and 17L have recoil springs of 19 pounds.
That said many people find that to be a bit oversprung. My ammo is at a 132,000 power factor for competition so I'm running a Ismi 13lb spring, or a 13lb spring with 2.5 coild cut off depending on the recoil impulse I'm looking for.
It’s a gen 3, and I want a SS rod.
Lone Wolf has one at Midway USA (17 lb, SS rod & spring) for $18.
