I think maybe others have tried to ask this but I’m not clear on the answer: why would anyone want the -10% spring? What problem(s) are you trying to solve with that? Thanks!
Oct 21, 2025, 07:46Failure to cycle with low pressure ammo. It provides less resistance for the weaker ammo to cycle normally.

Does this help out with the spring issue being flush to the slide
Oct 16, 2025, 12:48Yes it sits slightly forward to prevent hang ups on the slide.

My bodyguard 2.0 is very difficult to rack to load. Will this spring make it easier?
Oct 7, 2025, 11:23Not really a notable amount. The spring is for help cycling lower pressure ammo and is not intended to help with racking force. We have a rack assist planned for it early next year.

Anthony PotteigerAug 6, 2025, 23:09This guide rod assembly is much nicer than the plastic one. The oem spring here is heavier like everyone says. The -10% is probably closer to the stock spring. This goes great with the trigger and makes the bg2.0 better than ever!

Paul MartinAug 4, 2025, 16:43Brand new gun. Slide would not go back quite far enough to engage the slide stop or allow me to turn the takedown lever . Finally had to push back extremely hard on slide so I could remove it. It was like the OEM recoil spring was too long when compressed. Didn't want to wait for S&W to replace it. Bought this one, got it in a few days, popped it in & now the gun works like it is supposed to. Perfect!

Hans BogaarsJul 12, 2025, 19:29Fantastic upgrade to the bodyguard 2.0. I wasn’t sure if it was going to make a big difference but it has. I shot the gun today for the first time with it and it definitely is a noticeable improvement. Buy one.

Stephen McGuireJun 20, 2025, 07:20Installation is easy, bought the black oem model. Took it to the range, seems smoother than the factory spring assembly when racking the slide. Ran over 100 rounds with no issues, happy with the purchase.
