Sprinco Rcoil Reducers

[schmeky]

Do the Sprinco recoil reducers really do what they claim? According to Sprinco, they reduce felt recoil up to 50%. I have a CZ SP-01 on order and may install one of these after I have spent some range time with this new CZ.

Gunblast (check out the review of the MP9) says so; so much so that he claims he'll install it in all his autos from now on.

Q,

Thanx, I'll look that up. I reload, and with my medium powered loads in .45 ACP, my shooting ability improves markedly, so if I could reduce the "perceived" recoil, it would accomplish a similiar effect with full house loads.

Just want to make certain before I spend the money.

I'm sorry...

It wasn't Sprinco; it was a DPM spring.

They reduce recoil but markedly increase muzzle flip, and have been known to compromise reliability in some guns.

For standard service cartridges, I'd stay away.

If you have an SFS-configured Hi Power, avoid the SprinCo setup. The SFS main spring will not cooperate with them.

I think the SP01 spring is 16 lbs, and made to handle up to +P+.
If you're ONLY shooting lighter target loads a lighter spring is probably fine.
I think you can buy 12-18 lb springs from Wolf.

Isn't "muzzle flip" recoil?

Isn't "muzzle flip" recoil?

No. Recoil is the straight-back-into-the-hands part of the impulse. Muzzle flip is the muzzle-displacing-upwards. Related, yes, but not the same.

The Sprinco dual-spring guide rods spread the recoil impulse out over a longer period of time. This causes to muzzle to stay up higher, longer. Not a good thing if you're trying to shoot fast.

I installed a Sprinco unit in my Ruger P90 back in the late 1990's. The P90 became an instant JAM-O-MATIC. I went back to the original Ruger setup and never looked back!

Even though this is an old thread I wanted add and share this review of the Sprinco Recoil Reducer for those, like me, are seeking insight :

I think the best part of the Springco is that it comes with a 60 DAY MONEY BACK SATISFACTION GUARANTEE, if it doesn't "work" for you or don't like it, get your money back.

You could try a Tungsten full length guide rod instead. I bought a Series 80 Colt in .38 Super that has one, and it helps recoil some. It makes it more muzzle heavy, but not bad.

Reduce recoil by fifty percent? I'm not buying it. There is just no cheating Mr. Newton.

 

[Daryl Licht]

I had a similar gizmo in a Ruger P90, forget who made it though. I was not impressed. The thing is in a drawer somewhere.

Your CZ will be great, as most of their guns are. I doubt you'll find the recoil to be unpleasant.

I installed one in a 1911, .... big mistake. Reliability went down the tubes. Don't waste your money.
