i own a mossy 500 and a 590A1, after disassembling both trigger groups i discovered that the 500 has a single trigger main spring (part 35) and the 590A1 has a double trigger main spring. it has the same trigger spring like the 500 plus a smaller (smaller in diameter) one inside the bigger (normal) one. is this quite normal? why has the 590A1 2 trigger main springs? to enhance the striking force of the hammer? if i have a closer look at the manual there is only one main trigger spring. has anyone a good detailed exploded drawing of the mossy 500 and the 590A1? in the net i only find graphics with low resolution. thanks dusty

the prob also affected 9mm, all the e-frame series, no matter which caliber. the prob only affecting .40 and stronger calibers was the one with only 1 locking block pin/trigger pin - 2-pin frame's (that's why the enhanced 3-pin frames (1 extra locking block pin plus the trigger pin and the rear frame pin came on the market), that was never a 9mm prob, just stronger calibers. called glock today, no late d-frames or early f-frames were affected by the breaking rear slide rails problem, just e-frame-series, so everything is okay with mine, thanks to all of you

dear Glock-friends, when disassembling my G19 (early 3rd gen. model, two pins) and pulling the barrel out of the slide, in 95% of all cases, i can see the firing pin safety cylinder half in and half out. not in a complete "on" or "off" position, but somewhere in between. the firing pin can be manually pushed forward through the firing pin hole. if i pull the firing pin back, the safety cylinder engages, moves fully in the outward/on position and the firing pin can not be moved forward through the firing pin hole again. with my G17 (late 3rd. gen modell, 3 pins) the firing pin safety is in 95% of all cases fully engaged/on after disassembling the barrel from the slide and the firing pin can not be moved forward manually trough the firing pin hole. i think it has something to do with how far you pull the slide back before pulling the disassembly lever in the frame downward. if you pull back a little bit more than necessary the firing pin safety cylinder is pushed a little bit into the slide. am i right, or do i have to worry about anything with the firing pin safety on my G17 and G19? how can i check the firing pin safety for propper function, so that it will always engage, when not pulling the trigger? best regards dusty

hey glock-friends, need your help and advice. i stumbled over the so called "e-frame-recall" in the i-net and checked the serial numbers of my G17 and G19, just to be on the save side. i have no E-frame(s), so i suppose i'm lucky. but i read that even late D-frame and early F-frame models can be affected. is that true? perhaps you can help calming me down: 1) does anyone have a complete list of serial numbers affected by the E-frame-subject? 2) i also read something about longer and shorter rear slide rails of the D-frame models, they changed the angle and the production process there. how can i differ if the rails on my D-frame model are shorter or longer (how long is "short" or "long"?) 3) how can i be sure that my D-frame G19 (early 3rd gen. 2 pin-version) is one / or is not one of the late D-frame models with which the problems having started to occur? What is a high / late D-frame number? 4) is the problem still just concerning guns manufactured from sept. 2001 to may 2002, or is the time period getting longer with new cases of cracked rear slide rails? thanks for your help dusty
