i noticed that when buying recoil springs off pistolgear.com they come with a replacement striker spring also. If you get different recoil spring than what is stock with the gun is the striker spring going to be a different weight as well? what kind of important relationship does the recoil spring have with the striker spring? or are they simply sending me a stock replacement striker spring...
thanks

I can't answer the last question but I'm relatively certain the two have no relationship (other than both being a part of the gun).

You don't mention what gun you're purchasing recoil springs for, or what brand they are, so it's kind of hard to answer your question. But if the answer is 1911 recoil springs made by Wolff, then the extra, small spring in the package is not any sort of striker spring, it's an extra power firing pin spring.

Scott at Pistolgear should be able to answer your questions. Just send him an E-mail and he usually gets back to you quickly. You don't say what gun you're talking about but I assume it an XD. Careful on how light of a recoil spring you go to or reliability may suffer.

Then that answers your question. If you go to a seriously lighter than factory stock recoil spring on an XD without also going to a seriously lighter than factory stock striker spring you can begin getting failures to go into battery since, as the slide comes forward, it has to retract and compress the striker. With a lighter recoil spring you have less force accomplishing that. Unless you also lessen the amount of force needed to accomplish that by going to a lighter striker spring, you can get problems. The replacement striker springs keeps things balanced out so the gun still works as it should.
