Default Recoil Springs

Hi:

I'll explain why a weak recoil spring will jam a Luger. The toggel parts are very light and "bounce back" too fast to pick up a round off of the magazine.

I'm also shocked that your spring was too heavy. Usually, they are too light, causing the condition explained above.

I've found that a magazine with a heavy spring is usually the most reliable.
