Installed in my Glock 17L since i was informed it takes the same spring and guide rod as a regular 17 and it worked perfectly. Chose a lighter spring since the OEM 17lb spring could only cycle 124gr ammo. Have not had any issues whatsoever and its cycled 115gr-147gr ammo perfectly. Glad I was able to find this spring and guide rod since now its rare to find anything for gen5 glocks

Had an issue with package not delivered correctly and Nomad Defense immediately responded. Great company to work with! The recoil spring worked as advertised easy to rack and lightened the recoil. Worked well with my ramjet afterburner as it sometimes caused issues with FTF and FTE; the recoil spring fixed it all those issues. Ability to change out the spring if I wanted too which was a plus. The coating does wear out on the base of rod as I’ve seen when I disassembled my G17 but doesn’t affect the gun cycling. Definitely affordable than the ones I’ve seen online so pick it up while you can! Overall you won’t be disappointed!
