For concealed carry, a 38 in your pocket is unbeatable!

RAY RAY, you need to back away from the forums and not get caught up on everything you read. The things you read cant be done....can.

Using a recoil spring as a paralell:

 

Glock 18 fires at 1200 RPM. Thats 20 rounds per second (using this stat to figgure out how long the slides in movement). So for every 20 rounds fired, there is 1 second of spring compression. Now, alot of people say that after anywhere from 20-50k rounds you need to replace the recoil spring. Let's go for the high number, 50k rounds. By that time, most will agree that that spring will be shot out. So according to this... 2,500 seconds of spring compression = 50,000 rounds fired. That's 41 minutes of spring compression for 50,000 rounds fired.

 

So, if I lock my slide back for 41 minutes, will my spring wear out? :lol:

Using that its very apparent that it is indeed not constant compression, but cycles that wears out a spring
