mine is SD9VE, what is the difference between 15, 17, 20 and 22 lb? more number means less recoil?

It can also mean that there is too much spring tension and may cause issues with the ejection of the shell cartridge. I would go either the standard recoil spring weight and recommend nothing else. Unless you shoot 147gr rounds only then the spring weight may be raised up from oem tensions.

You have to consider the physical weight and spring weight of the rod. These rods aren't that heavy and doesn't feel to add any weight towards the front end. I would go with 17 lb spring. Not too much stress to mess up any parts, not too little for failure2feed. Hope this helped.

The spring corresponds with the load. If you're loading weak target rounds, you can use a light spring so the action still cycles. Similar with the heavy weight spring for hot loads. If you're shooting standard factory rounds, use the recommended standard weight.

Yes. There is a trade off though . . . the slide will be harder to rack, and if you are shooting lighters loads, you may have a failure to eject or feed. Put a 22lb on my 40 - much more fun to shoot. Added bonus is it's steel and not some cheap plastic piece.

Not entirely sure, but I ordered the wrong lbs originally and experienced issues with the slide locking back, it just depends on the ammo and grain

If I remember correctly the 17lb spring is the same as the factory, or very close. The other spring weights while affecting recoil I think are really to match the bullet weight of the cartridge, i.e., the heavier the bullet the stronger the spring. I have the 17lb spring and use a cartridge with a 115gm bullet and it works fine so far.

The "large" is .177 I thought it was .22 , which I wanted. By mistake ordered the large and in the end like it. I'll order the .22 as soon as I can.

Smaller Lighter BBs have better FPS but the denser ones have less jamming, tighter grouping and hit harder. I stick with .26 and I am very happy with the results.

Mine only goes to .22. I'd check with the mfr. to see if they've made it smaller so that it will fit .17HMR.

Well it doesn't really matter but I would go with .20, if you need anything else just ask!

I shoot .22lr 36 grain ammo at mine between 15 and 25 yards out of a Ruger 10/22. It chips the paint, but no noticeable denting. I think a 17hmr will be fine.

Have no idea about XD. I carry the Glock 21SF, its pretty cool... I really like it...

not bad,on my 22 mk111,I had to reset after about 400 rounds.However,that gun has almost no recoil.

no brand is tuely better then the next except avoid crossman. when your looking for bb;s look for .20gram or higher bb's. the heavier you go the lower your fps will be, but it will improve accuracy and your ability to shoot through brush DO NOT BUY ANYTHING LIGHTER THEN .20GRAM BB'S

Definitely a 20mm base. Might see a gunsmith about putting heavier (bigger) threads and screws in your Savage too. One of my Savage stock threads was slightly off and would not hold the 17-18 inch pound torque (max for the Vortex before you risk crimping the internals). This caused a nightmare of constant POI drift for a year (including in competition). Had the rifle's threads drilled out and tapped to a larger diameter along with the base. Best $30 I have spent on a rifle. Keep in mind I shoot 308's that are slightly hot so nothing like 338 recoil.

Fps is feet per second and 20g bbs is the size of your bbs. I've also used 6mm bbs.

Is it a magnum or light A5? If it is a light, then since it didn't come with a recoil pad already, it would make the length of pull really long. I would think, though, that if it already has a recoil pad, the contour of the stock should be the same.

Victor, Contact Galloway directly, they have excellent service and want to make sure you get the proper parts to meet your need. But per their website: "Direct replacement for the stock 9lb unit from the factory. Will fully cycle full power ammo and help reduce felt recoil and muzzle flip." Based on that, I would presume it would add ~4 lbs of spring loading to what you have now. This is meant to tame the recoil, but may make it a tad more stiff to manually cycle the slide. I replaced the spring in my LC9 (from 16lb to 20lb), and I cannot say its any more difficult to operate the slide.

I have a S&W; model 37 air weight in a 38spl. I had the factory wood grips and changed to the Hogue. The recoil of the air weight is pretty noticeable. After shooting it about a dozen times your ready to put it down. The Hogue grips help me hang on a little better. Recoil is still pretty bad, but easier to manage with the new grips. Besides my pistol looks better also. It's worth the $20. I'd buy them again. As far as being longer I don't think it is. I've owned my pistol for about 30 years. I bought some PAC Meyer ( spelling ) grips that we're really big. They were about the size of the gun. A lot easier to handle on the range, but sure looked retarded. Hope this helps.

Howdy. The hop-up is adjustable. .20g bb's work but have a wild curve out to distance. I noticed it when it got out to 25 meters or so. I would suggest a heavier match-grade BB. I am by far an expert but Crossman .25 or TSD .25 seemed to work well for me. They cost a bit more but TSD also has .28 competition grade BB's and I think they are worth it. Another bit of advice is to order an additional magazine if you get the rifle. Hope this helps.

I have run .12 and .20 they both work but .20 is better and shoot straighter

.22 is slower but hits a lot harder. You will need to fire hundreds of rounds to break in the rifle & temperature has an impact on groupings.i.e. sighting in the rifle @ 80 degrees F will not yield the same group as shooting when it's 40 degrees F.
