Who makes Glock 19 spring replacement kits? Or rebuild kits? I need to lay in a stash of these.

I change recoil springs in semi auto pistols about every 5K rounds, need it or not. It is such an easy and inexpensive preventative maintenance thing to do that I can't see not doing it.
Every normal man must be tempted, at times, to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats.

Who makes Glock 19 spring replacement kits? Or rebuild kits? I need to lay in a stash of these. Wolff Gunsprings supply almost all of the big name brand outfits. Most are simply re-packaging Wolff springs. I buy their 10 packs and then always have them on hand. Plus if you buy the 10 packs of trigger return springs, recoil springs, magazine springs, etc, when there is a major crisis and everybody is buying up every part out there, and there are no parts to be had, you already have everything you need safely tucked away. I like to joke that I can easily rebuild 20 Gen 3 Glock 9mms or one Gen 3 Glock 20 times. Plus when you are diagnosing a problem gun, you simply start by getting rid of all the aftermarket crap on it until the thing runs right. It is amazing how often that solves the " My gun won't run right" problems. ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/Oj02wUA.jpg)

FBI 10mm's were S&W's and Smith offered 10mm in a revolver but for some reason, they thought it best not to offer a modern/plastic semi-auto 10mm while the rest of the US gun companies filled the demand. So glad to see them back in the 10mm game. . Because they were on the tip of the .40 S&W spear ... Would have been blasphemy to admit inferiority by chambering the 10mm Auto in ANY of their pistols .

The 4.6" Smith w a reflex looks interesting.
Wish it was a little longer though.

PA,
The load data I am using for that load, which is a load I sell commercially, is not in any books. That said, if you research information on +P and .45 Super both here and elsewhere you will find lots of excellent information.
That particular load was designed to be used in guns that have been properly maintained and are in safe working order, yet still kept in stock form. In other words (using a 1911 as an example) not putting in flat bottom firing pin stops, changing magazine springs, etc.
You would be surprised how many people have no clue about maintaining a firearm and assume that if their semi auto is functioning then the recoil spring is totally fine and they don't need to replace it. That is like saying, "I have 100K miles on these tires, and they have never popped, so they are totally fine!"
few years ago i pulled the recoil springs from about six WWII 1911's and compared the lengths to a new wolf 45acp spring. they were all considerably shorter, and while retaining the original springs,those being shot got new springs.

Ron, I am jealous for the fact that you have SIX World War II 1911s to pull springs from!!! Wilson recommends a 20# spring if you are going to be extensive shooting of loads with a high power factor (using the old USPSA/IPSC formula of velocity times weight divided by 1K). For example the 10mm bear/predator loads I produce run in the 230 power factor range, and while the load was specifically designed to function perfectly fine with a stock gun and fresh springs in the gun and magazine, when I do a bunch of shooting, I run a 20# spring in my Glock. Wolff has a spring kit complete with guide rod and when installed you can definitely tell a difference in terms of recoil control when shooting fast, controlled pairs. ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/IYbTYDu.jpg) ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/57TXfaK.jpg)

Highly unlikely I know but I'd love a single stack/narrower Glock in 10mm. I love my 20 and 29 but for most of my 10mm use something not as bulky would be perfect.
