      NOTES: 4Gen and 5Gen
      The Newer generation Glocks had changes to their recoil systems, the “frames” and “slides” are different where the recoil rod fits the front of the slides purchase. The opening is larger where the recoil spring sits.

      So which do you recommend for a g20 that shoots mainly borderline too hot reloads?

      22 lbs recoil spring has worked flawlessly for my G-20SF and Smith and Wesson 1006 using 10mm and 40SW ammo with the conversion barrels for each!

      I have several aftermarket & conversion barrels for the G-20 and the 22 lbs covers all of these.
      10mm aftermarket 5 1/2″ threaded and 9″
      40SW conversion
      357SIG conversion
      9x25Dillon conversion
      The 9mm conversion works but it has its own recoil setup!

      I tried my 22 lbs spring on a recent range trip using Blazer Brass 180-gr which the site says it is 1200 fps… I had lots of FTF, some FTE and some nose diving while trying to load.. out of the 25 rounds that I went through, it was more of a hassle to use. For now I’ll just go with the OEM spring. I will retry with different ammo and see how they handle in my G20sf.

      You would think the hotter ammo would feed more reliably with the 22 lb setup
