Why Upgrade Your Glock 19 Gen 4 Recoil Spring?
-
Restore Factory Reliability

Improve Recoil Control
➔ Heavier recoil systems absorb more energy, helping reduce muzzle flip and allowing faster follow-up shots. -
Enhance Durability and Shooting Comfort
➔ Stronger springs extend the life of your slide, frame, and barrel while smoothing slide operation. -
Optimize for Your Shooting Style
➔ Fine-tune your Glock 19 for competition, concealed carry, or defensive applications with the right spring tension.
▶ Pro Tip: Shooters who add optics, compensators, or suppressors often need custom-tuned recoil springs to maintain smooth cycling.

FAQs About Glock 19 Gen 4 Recoil Springs
How often should I replace my Glock 19 Gen 4 recoil spring?
Replace every 5,000–10,000 rounds for most shooters. Heavy-use or competition pistols may benefit from replacement every 3,000–5,000 rounds.
Can I install a Glock 19 Gen 4 recoil spring myself?
Yes! Installing a new recoil spring assembly is a simple drop-in procedure — no gunsmithing required.
What are the benefits of a DPM multi-spring recoil system?
DPM systems allow adjustable recoil control, reduce felt recoil, improve target reacquisition, and extend the life of internal Glock parts.
