Remove the trigger pin and slide stop lever.
If you drive the pin through the hole with the slide stop lever still in place, you could damage the spring on the top of the lever. The slide stop lever (slide release) tensions on the locking block pin. If your locking block pin does break, don’t just shove a new one into the hole. The constant high-speed battering is a sure recipe for a locking block pin breakage. When the recoil spring weakens, the slide moves faster and puts more stress on many of the parts on the gun (frame rails, locking block, pins). Not many Glock owners do this, but I’ve found it to be critical in avoiding parts breakage. The best way to stop it from breaking is to replace your recoil springs every 3000-5000 rounds. You’ll know it’s broken because your gun’s slide will randomly lock to the rear when you still have rounds left in the magazine.Īn armorer is using a punch to remove the locking block pin It breaks fairly regularly, especially in the.

If you install it backwards, the gun will work, but the spring is more likely to break. When you do, make sure it goes in the gun looking like an “S” shape (like the photo shows) and not backwards. If you want to keep a traditional coil spring in the gun, I’d replace it every 10,000 rounds or so. Unfortunately, they will raise your trigger pull weight to 8 or 12 lbs from the factory 5.5 lbs. They compress rather than stretch and I’ve never seen one break. If you never want to deal with spring breakage, use one of the NY trigger springs (lower level on the picture). It’s not a fight stopper, but it is a pain in the ass. If you don’t do that, you can still manually move the trigger forward after each shot. When they break, the gun usually still functions, especially if you hold the trigger to the rear and “catch the link” after your shot breaks. I’ve also seen a spring break within the first 1000 rounds. I’ve had some guns go more than 50,000 rounds on the original spring. They break all of the time (right at the bend on top or bottom), but not in a predictable fashion. It is what returns the trigger to the forward position after the shot. One of those springs is in your trigger mechanism. If you look at the picture, you’ll see the coil springs on the top row. The coil ones on top break fairly regularly. #1 Most common parts breakage- Trigger Spring In this article, I’m going to explain what parts I see break most often, and what you can do to either prevent or fix the breakages and get your gun up and running again. Many of the common parts breakages can actually be prevented with some routine maintenance. But one of the reasons why I like the Glock so much is that they are easy to fix. Put 10,000 rounds or more a year through a single pistol and see what happens.
Don’t tell me “Mine has never broken!” That’s because you don’t shoot it enough. I’ve seen Glock pistols break in every conceivable manner. I also taught at one of the largest shooting schools in the country, seeing hundreds more Glock pistols in my students’ hands each year. In my job as training officer at the police department, I inspected and maintained more than 75 Glock pistols carried by my officers. I’ve been a factory-certified Glock armorer since 1997. Even if you buy the best car in the world, eventually it will break down. A gun is a mechanical device and it can fail at any time. No manufacturer is immune from this reality: If you shoot the gun enough, it will break. I’ve broken almost every Glock I’ve ever owned. A Glock 26 or a Glock 19 in 9mm are constant companions in my off-duty hours. My police duty gun was either a Glock 21 or a Glock 17. I carry a Glock pistol during about 95% of my waking hours. OK, let me get this out of the way right off the bat. A rear frame rail broke off soon after the class. Running my Glock 21 hard at one of Henk Iverson’s classes.
