The price on a box that I have says 36.95 per 1500. Now that is from last fall when 1k of Win were running about $30. I'm sure the same ratio should apply now, tho much higher :goof:

Ron, I'm to old school to know how to post a picture of the box. The ones I have are in a small square black box with white lettering.

The black box with white printing are the ones I've used with great success. Never had a bad one yeat in about 13,000.

BUt

I bought some off a guy that said he was having a hard time getting them to fire in his 15 lbs main spring, 9mm 1911!!

I bought and used them without problem. I run 17 or 18 lbs mainsprings to speed the hammer fall!

Mains only effect trigger pull by ozs. at 2 lbs intervals and that can be adjusted other ways.

So my answer in a nut shell is "buy them"

I have been using them for quite a few years. Never had any issues and would recommend them. I would not use anything below a 17lb main spring. I tried using a 15lb main spring and had problems setting them off. However never had any issues with a 17lb or higher.

Update: I am getting primer failures 1 primer of every 100- 150 shots is a failure and saving these rounds they will not fire with another strike. This is in my glock 34 standard striker and lightened striker spring. I will get an update again with 2011 3lb trigger pull 17 lb mainspring stock hammer and firing pin.

try the glockworx/zev extended lightented ss stiker, the stiker will snap a bit harder with the lighter spring and the tip will hit deeper. I use federals almost exclusively though. Itried this with the Tula SPMs and had klight strikes but I think it was more due to seating.
