So, some time ago I got a Wolff 22# recoil spring and guide rod for my G20. No problems so far, and it really does seem to tame the recoil of the pistol with normal and full-house loads, and makes for quicker reacquistion of the target, at least in my hands. The package came with a replacement striker spring, which I did not pay attention to at the time. Looking at Wolff's website, I see this:
"Recoil springs for Glock pistols are available with load-rated specifications to tailor the recoil function to individual needs. Due to the design of the Glock pistol, all Glock recoil springs now include a factory strength replacement striker spring."
Huh? "Factory-strength"? Why replace it at all, then? Why is it due to the "design of the Glock pistol"? I'm not complaining, and I don't mind changing out the striker spring if I have to, just wondering what the relationship/relevance of the striker spring is to the recoil spring, and if I'm doing anything unsafe or likely to cause failures by leaving the stock striker spring in. I'm not using any oddball ammo or reloads, just a lot of UMC and occasionally DT match and defensive ammo when I can afford it. Thanks for any insight!
