RECOIL SPRING KMR 5″ STANDARD (12)

KMR Recoil Spring – 5″ Standard (12 lbs)

The KMR 12 lb “Standard” Recoil Spring is the versatile heart of the 5-inch KMR pistol’s cycling system. Designed to provide the perfect equilibrium between soft recoil and mechanical reliability, this spring is the factory-recommended weight for shooters who use a variety of ammunition types.

The Perfect Balance for the 5-Inch Platform

Long-slide pistols like the KMR Orca and Emiq require a specific spring rate to manage the increased mass of the slide. The 12 lb standard spring is engineered to offer enough resistance to protect the frame from high-velocity rounds, while remaining light enough to ensure 100% cycling reliability with standard target and competition loads. It is the “goldilocks” solution for shooters who want a predictable, smooth, and reliable firearm.

Technical Specifications:

• 12 lb Tension Rating: The standard factory weight designed for optimal performance across the broadest range of ammunition pressures.
• 5″ Long-Slide Geometry: Specifically wound to the correct length and coil density for KMR 5-inch models, preventing spring stacking or binding.
• High-Fatigue Alloy Steel: Built to endure high-volume shooting sessions without losing its structural integrity or tension rating.
• Consistent Timing: Provides a uniform feel throughout the recoil stroke, ensuring the shooter can develop a consistent rhythm for split times.

Key Benefits:

• Versatile Reliability: Works flawlessly with most 115gr, 124gr, and 147gr factory loads.
• Refined Shooting Impulse: Dampens recoil effectively while ensuring the slide returns to battery with enough force to seat the next round perfectly.
• Original Factory Spec: Ideal for maintaining your KMR in its original, perfectly tuned condition or as a high-quality replacement for a worn spring.

Pro Tip: For most shooters, the 12 lb standard spring offers the best overall experience for both training and general competition use.
