Luger recoil springs varied in both the number of coils and the weight of the wire used.

I believe that the published data "17 to 21" refers to the number of coils not pounds...

Take a look at the table in our FAQ.

Compression poundage is up in the 50's...

Marc,
you're corrrect the 17 to 21 is the # of coils, old guy mind bubble!

But the lbs are different too, so they must be measured differently.
