Pistol caliber carbines such as 9mm, .40 S&W, .45 ACP, and 10mm are a blast to shoot but can be tough on AR-15’s internal components. Without a properly tuned blowback system, you run the risk of being overly destructive on internal lower parts. Running a blowback AR15 with a suppressor can further increase the risk for damage. In addition to a properly weighted buffer, the KVP Extra Power recoil spring is a must! The KVP XP 17-4 SS spring offers increase pre-load over standard springs. The additional preload helps increase the Blowback systems dwell time.
XP Spring Features:
- 17-4 Stainless Steel
- Use in 9MM, 10MM, .40 S&W, or .45 ACP blowback AR systems.
- Increases AR-15’s dwell time in blowback setups
- Increases Pre-load
- Quiets action (better for suppression)
- Reduces felt recoil
- Designed only for Carbine Length Stock and pistol kits.

I purchased this item for a 40 & 45 caliber ar build I was doing. The stronger spring really helped with proper bolt function in the blow back system

This was for the 10mm build I’m working on now. have not tested, appears to be good quality, and is definitely stiffer than a standard carbine length buffer spring.

Used the xp spring with the 7.5oz buffer and couldnt be happier. Perfect setup for my 9mm AR.

I used this to build a 9mm carbine along with the KVP 9mm Complete Upper and the KVP 10oz Tungsten blowback buffer. For the lower, I am using a mil-spec lower with a Hahn adapter block. the combination works beautifully. It is accurate and feeds any ammo, FMJ, Hollow points Etc. I highly recommend KVP.

The spring runs great in a 9mm AR Pistol.
This would be a 5 star review but the shipping cost ($9.95) for a nearly weightless spring seems a bit much.

Was a little nervous building my first 10mm AR pistol…. I did a little bit of research, saw some people complaining about problems with their builds… BCG problems… buffer weight problems, buffer spring problems etc…. so I decided to keep it all in the same family and bought the Kaw Valley BCG, 10oz Buffer and PCC Buffer Spring. Threw all my ingredients together and 500 rounds later… not a single malfunction! Been running 180gr JHPs and 170gr Flat Nose FMJs. I’m a happy camper!

Great quality extra power buffer tube spring. Feels really stout. Paired with a heavy buffer, it should be a great match for my 9 mm build.
Josh Stephens (verified owner) –

Add this to the 10oz Tungsten Buffer on a 45acp or 10mm AR.
Kevin (verified owner) –
My 9mm AR build was struggling to cycle with shooting subs while suppressed. A simple swap to this spring immediately fixed the issue and my endomag fed flawlessly all day. I couldn’t be more pleased.
Lefty Lawless (verified owner) –
I had previously bought 2.5 inch heavy buffer 5.6 oz for my 308 carbine.
So I knew that these springs would be a quality product as well
The 9mm AR performs flawlessly with these springs.
Kaw Valley Precision products are worth your hard earned money.

Shipping was quick and works well with the 10 oz Buffer I purchased from KAW Valley. I will be using KAW Valley for more of my Builds.

Stronger spring in a compact package (shorter than a .308 sprint) reduces felt recoil in my 9mm pistol caliber pistol. The AR-15 length spring allowed the use of a PCC extended buffer weight where longer .308 springs would not. Very affordable and delivered quickly to my doorstep.
