I change all of my recoil springs out with Tungsten Guide Rods. It has a 15lb spring. I have never broke one, but I always carry two pistols.

Being a G27, this was actually a dual-spring assembly with metal rod (not the single spring polymer rod assembly of the larger guns). The baby Glock recoil spring rod has always been metal, similar to the new Gen 4 larger guns

The breakage came from the metal "lip" for lack of a better word folding back over on itself under spring pressure - weirdest thing I ever saw.
