I've come to the conclusion that the recoil spring that came with my CZ-82 might be a bit tired, contributing to somewhat sharp recoil.
I'm well aware blowbacks will always provide nastier perceived recoil than a locking breech design of the same caliber, though I believe any steps towards reducing any unpleasantness is a decent investment of time.
I after scouring reports from various sites on the intrawebnet, I concluded the 18 pound spring is considered heavy enough to make a difference while not affecting reliability.
After the easy installation of the new spring, I noticed there's a seemingly gritty quality to the movement of the slide, whereas it was nearly butter-smooth with the original spring.
Just out of curiosity, I reversed the spring in case there was an area of the spring could be rubbing the barrel... no difference.
I have yet to function-fire the CZ after installing the spring and things could very well smooth out during this outing. However, I'm curious if others have noticed such a change after installing heavier Wolff springs.
Thanks in advance!
