RECOIL SPRING KMR 5″ SOFT (11)

KMR Recoil Spring – 5″ Soft (11 lbs)

The KMR 11 lb “Soft” Recoil Spring is a high-performance tuning component for 5-inch long-slide KMR pistols. This spring is the preferred choice for competitive shooters who want to refine their pistol’s recoil impulse for maximum speed and minimal muzzle movement.

Precision Tuning for Competition Efficiency

On a 5-inch platform like the KMR Orca, the extra slide mass can lead to a significant “dip” in the muzzle when a heavy factory spring slams the slide back into battery. The 11 lb Soft spring mitigates this effect. By reducing the forward tension, the slide returns to battery more gently, keeping your sights aligned and ready for the next shot almost instantly.

Technical Specifications:

• 11 lb Tension Rating: Classified as “Soft,” offering a lighter feel than the standard factory spring.
• 5″ Platform Optimized: Engineered specifically for the longer spring guide and travel distance of KMR 5-inch models.
• High-Performance Spring Steel: Manufactured to hold its specific weight through thousands of cycles, ensuring your timing stays consistent during a long match.
• Linear Compression: Designed for a smooth, consistent feel from the moment the slide unlocks until it reaches full rearward travel.

Key Benefits:

• Reduced Muzzle Dip: Ensures a flatter return to battery for faster target re-acquisition.
• Enhanced Sight Tracking: The softer recoil stroke makes it easier for the shooter to follow the front sight or red dot through the entire cycle.
• Faster Cycle Speed: Ideal for “Minor” power factor competition loads where a lighter spring is necessary to ensure reliable cycling and ejection.
• Improved Shooted Comfort: Noticeably softens the “snap” of the recoil, reducing hand fatigue during high-volume training sessions.

Recommendation: The 11 lb Soft spring is ideal for 9mm competition loads. For high-pressure duty or +P ammunition, the 12 lb or 13 lb variants are recommended to ensure frame protection.
