If you plan on using NATO pressure 9mm, then the dual spring is just fine. But if you want to practice with standard pressure 9mm, then pick up the standard Gen1-3 9mm spring for whatever model you have.
Who told you that? Sounds like a solution to a problem that doesn't exist. I told me that, use it or don't; your call. If your brass isn't flying at least 4' then you're over-sprung for the cartridge.

I have a Glock 20 Gen 2.5
It has features of both the Gen 2 and Gen 3, mainly having to do with the grip.
At one point someone tried to list all the Generations and the changes in the features that made a given Glock a Gen (?) model.
Mine was listed, but there are damn few of them, like mine, out there. I can say that other than an ammo issue (fail to fire) I have had 0 issues with it. I carried it as my duty weapon for 5 years.

I really like the Gen3 guns, to me they are the closest Glock has ever gotten to "Glock Perfection". But I wouldn't turn down a G4 G19 if someone were giving them out. I'm not much interested in G1 & G2's.
I lost a lot of respect for Glock as a company; they're kind of a train wreck. Not doing a recall for the "6 part upgrade" was bullscheitt of the first order. Then all the drama with the Glock family, Glock company officers, etc...like I said, they're a train wreck. But they make a damn good pistol.

kind of like kevin, glock as a corporation somewhat jerks my chain. With unannounced in effect recalls. I have a gen 1 glock 17, within the first few months of introduction into this country. It still had the "gold" parts" in it never being "upgraded". I had it done and paid the cost cause i wasn't gonna turn in the gold parts which if i had the upgrade would have been free. a glock has always been a gun i like to dislike, except they work.

Glock offers to change out those parts on Gen1's FOR FREE through any certified Glock armorer. At any event. At any shoot. At any shop. Does anybody shoot at events anymore? See the guy wearing a Glock hat or shirt? Just ask. Simple.

I don't remember if the 2 pin to 3 pin change was gen 1 to gen 2, or gen 2.5?
3 pin frames began with late Gen2's in .40S&W and early .357Sig. 10MM as well. It became standard on all frames with Gen3's.

I guess the gen 2's should be embarrassed of themselves.

3rd pin frames became standard in ALL calibers somewhere in the early/mid Gen3 guns. There are some 2 pin frame Gen3 9mm's out there. Yes, 3rd pin frames were being found in earlier Gen2/Gen2.5 G21/G20's and in the subs. I've owned Gen2 G23's both with 3rd pin and without. Still searching for a "holy grail" gun, a Gen1 G19. A rare bird.
Gen2 - No finger grooves or rails.
Gen2.5 - Finger grooves, no rail. Smooth finish between finger grooves. Gen3 - Finger grooves, rail.

I've owned Gen2 G19's. They are fine. I have Gen3's now. Would like to find a Gen1 G19 just because they are very rare in US.
