ok glock guys...had an issue today.
i have a glock 26. all stock parts, the only thing i did was the 25 cent trigger job as seen here: http://www.alpharubicon.com/mrpoyz/glock/ I was EXTREMELY careful, I did not grind anything down or change anything, just a quick polish...this was over 2 years ago, it smoothed out the trigger pull, and made it break cleaner, since then i have put over 700 rounds through it, no problems. i shot it a month ago, 50 rounds, no problems, did not clean it, it has been in my night stand. I take it out today and second squeeze it double fires...i continue to shoot (carefully since it doubled on me) and about 1/3 of the time it is double firing. i then shoot, keep the trigger pulled, then start to let it out VERY slowly and notice that it seems to reset immediate, like i barely let the trigger out and i can here it click and feel it reset. so a few times i pull trigger, and then barely let it out to where i can feel it reset and then pull and it fires. i dont remember my glock trigger resetting with such little travel. so i take it in and take apart the slide. when i take out the firing pin safety i notice the little spring is down in the hole sideways. so i get it out, its a little bent. i straighten in, put everything back together. i then want to test to see if the trigger still seems to reset super early, so i rack slide, pull trigger and keep it pulled, rack slide and slowly start to let trigger out... it seamed more normal at this point, going out much further before i here it reset, which seemed promising...so then i test fire 17 rounds with NO doubles. i want to do some more testing before i assume the problem is fixed. my question is, could the firing pin safety not engaging cause double fires? could a jammed FPS cause a short reset? any advice on other tests to make sure im good to go? any other ideas on what could have caused the double fires? |

Sounds like the firing pin may have been stuck in the forward position, and you were thus getting slam fires. You should have stopped firing after the first incidence. i was extemily carefull, and was on my own property with a huge backstop...but yes, in hindsight, i should have stopped... |

Are you now looking at the double fire and trigger reset as two different issues? The very short reset could have caused you to "bump" fire a second round. i am thinking that the short reset and the doubles were both caused by the firing pin safty spring being jammed...i think the FPS was keeping the firing pin locked forward... this is what i "think" happened, but i dont know glocks well enough to be sure if a FPS could cause this. |

just an update...
i put a new FPS spring in there just to be safe, also replaces the plastic parts on the firing pin cause they were cheep and i figured what the hell... anyway, test fired 100 rounds and the gun shot perfectly, trigger reset was normal, NO double fires, i guess it was the FPS jamming the firing pin forward causing slam fires, feels good to have the problem fixed :) |

Firing pin safety should not have caused that. If it were jammed, you shouldn't have gotten a shot off at all. Have a gunsmith check it. i think it got jammed up and cause the firing pin to be jammed forward...u are saying that could not happen? i test fired 100 rounds and it never did it, before i replaced the parts and gave everything a good cleaning it was doubling every 3 rounds... i also took apart all the trigger partes and made sure nothing looked fishy, everything looked fine in that aspect...the only thing i found out of order when i did a full disasemble was the FPS spring jammed... |
