Airsoft Canada - View Single Post - TM G17 enhanced recoil spring on a KJW G23 good idea?

The glock 23 is a Glock 19. I know TM never made a 19, so I know the recoil spring won't work in it (it's too short, the Glock 17 recoil spring would be too long for it), but I don't know if a KSC recoil spring will work in it (KSC makes the G19, but is not TM compatible).

EDIT: Sorry, didn't fully read your post: It's possible just the spring will fit, but you may find that the enhanced spring will not compress fully (tighter coils + often more coils) and will short stroke the gun (preventing the slide catch from engaging, and in the case of the Glock, possibly making it impossible to field strip the gun...
