Well, it happened today.

I broke the trigger spring. It took a while for me to notice, you see the gun still cocks and fires as long as the trigger is held to the rear when you rack.

Luckily, I had two extras. :)

Round count is about 20K
 
obviously proves that Glocks are weak and cheap huh?

Realistically you think the barrel might last 100k?
 
I've been through 2 trigger pins, 1 chipped extractor, a bunch of magazine followers and chipped and cracked the slide on my 17. Depsite all of this it worked just fine with the broken parts in it after the 150k+ rounds that I put through it over the years. When the slide started to look a bit gimpy I turned it in to see if it can be warrantied and bought a brand spanking new gun. The barrel was still was capable of shooting better than I am.

I'm just going to buy a handful of "little parts" pins, springs, that sort of thing.

Also, loseable parts like the spring cups.

On the bright side, I did an entire array of 4 targets with sub 20 splits.

I like glock.

Wait a sec... Mike K... do you run a store in the lower mainland?
 
Some good spare parts to have would include:

extractor
slide lock assembly
trigger spring
trigger pin
recoil spring assembly

For the most part the gun will work just fine with these parts broken and it's only when taking a close look while cleaning that you will even notice that they are broken.

I don't run a shop, although I do spend a fair bit of time in some of them telling people that they are stupid and wrong for not buying glocks.
 
Of course, nothing can cure the fact that the Grock is arguably the ugliest handgun ever made. Now a S&W revolver... THAT is a thing of beauty!
 
If you need any parts in a hurry let me know. I have a few spare parts of everything laying around. :)
