How to measure Glock striker springs

[@redteam9881]

I change all my Glock Striker Springs to 6lb Wolff in G20 and G21 ( 45 Super) with Ghost maritime Turbo Cups for Heavy loads in Alaska Trail pistols.

@@redteam9881 never a bad idea to go heavier when you are out in the wild and may need to face a bear

Thanks alot, i dont know why i didnt think about it. Good way to test for worn springs or slight differences, because there are. I can tell which is which but still good to make sure.

I have a packet of Wolff striker springs from 15 years ago, all marked for all Glocks and factory standard, and listed at 5.5 lbs. They are longer as you say. I have them in all my Glocks and they work fine. Always have used Wolff springs in my Glocks and 1911’s.

Hello I own a glock 19 gen 4. In the country I am in, some bullets do not explode. The needle hits but the bullet does not explode. Would it help if I replaced the needle spring with a stronger spring?

[@tacticalpontoon]

@hanifigultekin2784 that is one thing to try, or a new factory striker spring if the old one is wore out. Ammo quality can also be an issue.

@@tacticalpontoon Some masters asked me whether to install the Glock OEM red trigger spring. Do you think it will work? I think the primers of the bullets are very hard

Very helpful tip 👊🇺🇸

Great video thank you, my question is, how can I measure the weight of my recoil springs that I have laying around unlabeled ?

[@tacticalpontoon]

Install them and use this test. It's a 3 minute operation

@@tacticalpontoon for the main recoil spring? most digital trigger spring scales don't go past 10 or 12 lbs

[@tacticalpontoon]

@fate2022 recoil springs...sorry...I misread that. Trigger guy here....didn't come up with a way to measure the recoil spring.

I keep learning from your videos. I got a factory spring on my PSA SW5. I have a NDZ 4.5 I got but I really wanted the 5lb which was out of stock. Havent even tried it… gonna give it a go and see what kind of trigger break I get. 😊

[@tacticalpontoon]

Shoot me an email and I can sell you a 5lb spring. I have a ton of them. I prefer them to the 4.5lb springs.

[@DesertTactical]

@@tacticalpontoonNeed another 5Lb! Lol

Awesome video. Perfect and simple way of troubleshooting light primer strikes. Thanks a lot for this 👍👍

[@tacticalpontoon]

Absolutely! Always love to help

[@russdennis7026]

I would say changing out your stock firing pin spring causes most of the malfunctions in competition. I would like to hear how you would balance this for a reliable competition Glock. I know there a so many different variables but would interesting to hear nonetheless. Thanks.
