Glock failure to fire question

[TH3180]

Sounds to me that the previous owner put them in and the OP bought it that way. I would personally buy all factory parts to replace the after market junk that was put in it. Go here http://www.brownells.com/schematics/Glo ... id858.aspx and order parts 7, 10, and 25. You can keep the connector if you want, but if you want the factory connector order #24 as well in the 5lb variation. Here are videos showing how to disassemble the frame and the slide.

That's a bold statement about aftermarket parts. If it is going to be a gamer gun. I would say leave the gaming parts in it. Most of the other people playing the games have gaming parts/junk. Why should he?

That's fine and dandy if he is is going to plan on shooting comps. As stated above he should get the $80 extended firing pin, and while he is at it spend another $150 on the Fulcrum adjustable trigger. 99% of the time putting in after market parts will make reliable products fail to perform as they should.

Intresting the four GLOCKs I have setup for gaming work just fine. I have never had a problem. I shoot with plenty of folks that have after market parts in there guns and the only problems they have is the dang no shoots getting in the way.

To be fair, the gamer Glocks you have setup run flawlessly on a steady diet of gamer ammo, which includes the use of Federal primers exclusively.

If you were to use over-the-counter factory ammo you WOULD have an occasional failure to fire.

My CZ Shadow will fail on winchester primers about 0.5-1% of the time. That doesn't seem like much but it's almost a failure once per match, and that sucks.

When you trick out a race car, you don't put regular gasoline in it either. High performance means less reliability.

I like to use the 3.5 lb connector, the light striker safety spring, and the extra power trigger spring in my "Australian POS's", but I never use anything but the OEM striker spring for exactly that reason. I've used this setup for many years, with all different ammos and calibers, and never had a single FTF. I don't know if that will get the OP where he wants to be with his trigger or not...just tossing it out there.

Thanks for all the suggestions. I have a lot to learn about Glocks. That's why I bought it. I like everything about the 34, balance, feel, sight picture, trigger. I'll switch ammo first and see what happens.
