anyone know the average recoil spring poundage for a .25 acp?

[mozeppa]

how many pounds to compress it?

Check with Wolf springs. They provide lots of recoil springs for pistols and usually have info on them.

I would think that the different designs, makes and models would all have different strength recoil springs. So it would be a moot point. it might be more useful to know which make and model handgun you are thinking about.
