| I bought a used Glock 23 (2nd gen) to see if I liked it for CCW. It looked barely used. Ive put 500 rds thru it so far.(dont know what the previous rd count was) After about 250 rds the slide stop spring broke and the slide would lock after every shot, Ive sinced replaced it. This will be my primary CCW. I was wondering what else you would suggest replacing, if anything, to decrease the chances of a future failure. Also, what are your opinions on extended magazine and slide releases? and which ones would you recommend? |
| I've bought a lot of used Glocks. Never found the need to replace any springs, except the recoil spring. Slide stop springs' breaking is extremely rare and is usually due to incorrect installation. I use steel guide rods and recoil springs appropriate for the caliber/loads that I'm shooting. Glock .40s are undersprung from the factory. |
I did. But no offense, the list seems kind of short for such a popular weapon and I wasnt sure if I would be better off contacting Glock directly for parts. Next time I will word my questions better. |
This. I have done this with all my Glocks, tough to beat free |
None taken. I'm sure there are LOTS of dealers in glock parts BUT, i tried to compile a list of dealers with good reps on this board. J |
Glock won't sell you parts unless you are a certified Glock armorer. |
