Is anyone running something other than the OEM striker spring on the G29 or G20? Pros/Cons?? Reasons/Results???

I see that Wolff offers 4,4.5,5,5.5 (OEM weight), & 6lb springs...

Ghost Inc. offers 4,6, & 6.5lb springs, and they recommend either the 6 or 6.5lb for use in the .45acp/10mm firearms...

--I have changed striker springs around in my 9mm Glocks, but haven't done anything to the 10mm's yet. I was thinking either to leave the OEM in there or step up to the 6/6.5lb spring. Thoughts?

TIA,

K.

My general take is not to spend money on a gun that is working.

Here is what Ghost says:

Quote
These bigger guns use 9% heavier firing pins but come with the lighter weaker 9mm firing pin springs which will eventually cause light primer strikes. These springs are also highly recommended for all other Glock models to insure positive primer strikes insuring that your pistol fires.

Brownells says the heavier spring will increase trigger pull weight by 1 lb.

Unless I was having an issue with light strikes, I wouldn't bother.

Wolff Gun Springs sends a extra striker spring with the purchase of recoil springs, I have several now.  But I continue using my factory springs because they work...
