Recoil Spring
What Makes Air Pistols so Distinct From Other Types of Pistols
An air gun is a pneumatic gun which shoots projectiles by using compressed air or other high pressure gas as a propellant.
Modern air guns are usually low-powered because of safety reasons and legal limitations. They can drive a pellet beyond 330 m/s, approx. the speed of sound. Most low-powered air guns can be securely fired in a garden also. In some countries, it is illegal to use them in residential areas. Air guns can be highly accurate and are used in the Olympic Games.
There are different ways of supplying power to an air gun. They can be classified into 3 groups: spring-piston, pneumatic, and CO2.
Spring-piston: Spring-piston air guns can attain muzzle velocities close to the speed of sound from a single stroke of a cocking lever. The cocking stroke is related to the power of the gun with higher velocities require larger cocking effort.
Spring-piston guns are operated by a spring loaded piston within a compression chamber. Cocking the gun compresses the spring until a small hook engages the sear. When the trigger is pulled, the sear is released which decompresses the spring and the piston is pushed forward, compressing the air. When the air pressure increases enough to overcome friction, the pellet moves forward.
Spring guns have disadvantage of large recoil and spring vibrations. The vibrations can be controlled by adding spring guides or by tuning by air gun smiths.
Pneumatic: Pneumatic air guns make a use of pre-compressed air as the energy source. Single-stroke and multi-stroke guns use a pump for pressurizing air. These reservoirs are filled by using a high pressure hand pump (reaching pressures of 300 bar) or by transferring air from a diving cylinder. Hence, there is no major movement of heavy parts and recoil is only 'true recoil'.
Multi-Stroke pneumatic air guns require 2 to 10 pumps to store compressed air. Through this, variable power is possible and the user can change the power for different shooting ranges. The higher quality rifles can shoot to speeds above 1000 fps.
In single stroke guns, one motion of the cocking lever is sufficient to compress the air. The single pump system is usually used in target rifles and pistols, where the higher energy of a multi-stroke is not needed.
Pre-charged Pneumatic: Pre-charged pneumatic (PCP) air guns can be used for competition and hunting. Because of the cylinders or charging systems, PCP guns have larger initial cost but very low operating costs when compared to CO2 guns.
CO2: Most CO2 guns use a disposable cylinder, pre-filled with 12 grams liquefied CO2 and some expensive models use larger refillable CO2 reservoirs.
These guns have 2 key advantages over pre-charged guns: (1.) a small volume of liquid converts to a large volume of pressurized gas. (2.) No pressure regulator.

Glock 22 recoil spring?
I am going to a titanium guide rod and was wondering if you could explain different recoil spring weights. I shoot a lot of 180 grain Federal and Winchester target ammo but I would like to have the option of personal defense as well. I use ISMI springs but do not fully understand the difference in poundage. What would different springs do to the performance of the gun.
Hey, Wolf, what does Evan know? (His book was just a little bit confusing - Right!)
I am a, 'Glock Man'; and, yes, Wolfie is correct. The slide speed on Glock's G-22 is way too fast; and, so far, none of the factory's, 'Band-Aid' fixes have corrected the problem. Glock will not glass-reinforce their polymer frames; and, consequently, those calibers above 9 MM, all, tend to vibrate too much.
(A Glock factory engineer has now coined the term, 'frame harmonics' for a polymer frame phenomenon I once labeled as, 'excessive frame vibration'. Man, did I take flack on that one! Every Kool-Aid drinker on GT swore up, down, and sideways that no such thing could possibly exist; and I had to be nutz.)
As things have turned out polymer, 'frame harmonics' do exist; and one of the leading culprits in the Glock model lineup is, in fact, the G-22. Briefly, I would steer you away from using a titanium guide rod. Titanium is great stuff for certain areas on jet aircraft; but, titanium does not wear well and should be kept to a minimum on moving parts. My recommendation would be to use a non-captured, all-steel guide rod with a standard 17# coil-wound recoil spring.
I understand that these recommendations lack, 'sex appeal' but they will work and work well. Flat-wound springs are slightly more consistent and easier to adjust than coil-wound springs; but coil-wound springs have a much longer operating life. Non-captured guide rods make spring changes easy; and there's no annoying little screw to shoot-off the pistol and forever lose.
Depending on your style and speed of shooting a lighter spring might give you the sensation of reduced recoil; but light springs on a G-22 can really speed up the slide, pound the breech face, and cause other bad things to happen.
A heavier recoil spring allows you to shoot hotter, 'full-house' loads, slows down the slide speed, limits ejection distance, and helps to prevent stress cracks on your breech face. If you're not possessed of sufficient arm strength, or don't fire particularly fast (Which most shooters don't.) then a heavier recoil spring can, also, give you a sensation of lighter recoil - But, in a different way.
I suggest you get to know these people -
