The issue was i had to keep pushing the slide forward with my thumb until I got the heavier spring for it. Your's MAY not need it but if your recoil spring guide is plastic like mine was i'd advise the kingarms replacement anyways as it's all metal.

When you say Plastic to Metal, is it a Metal Slide with Plastic Barrel? Or is the plastic spring guide that your referring to as being plastic?
I'm a bit worried now lol, I know mine comes with a Metal slide but am not exactly sure if the barrel is metal as well. I only assumed both were Metal.
As for upgrading the spring guide, I'll definitely consider that now that you mention it. I want my G18C to be as sex as it can e

If it comes stock with metal slide then no worries. My suggestion of the upgraded recoil spring and spring guide was mainly because I assumed it came stock with plastic slide and plastic OB if you upgrade from plastic to metal and the tension doesn't "match up" the blow back action becomes "sluggish" since the slide and outer barrel are now heavier. |
Great to hear. I'm learning a lot from you guys. All this info will help down the road for sure
Really appreciate it.
