nofrontsight Posted June 26, 2016 Share Posted June 26, 2016 Having issues with spring weights in both an open glock 17 (minor power factor) and open glock 34 (major pf). Both were having trouble going into battery with 10# recoil spring in the 17 and 12# rs in the 34. Swithced the 34 to a 15# and it fixed it, but not shooting as flat now. If i lighten the slides on both to run lightened recoil springs will I run into any problems with slide integrity specifically with shooting major 9mm loads? Both are running light weight striker springs, though not sure of weight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrimaryBruce Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 You'd have to take a considerable amount of meat away from a Glock slide to compromise integrity. Much more than you'd see on the average slide cut. We have many customers running this slide cut well over the 10k round mark and no issues for example: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kraj Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 I would start with the striker spring. zev has a light and then a lighest and i had to go with the lightest or it would pull the slide out of battery on my 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
obsessiveshooter Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 My g35 gen4 with a zev guide rod and zev 13lb spring wouldn't go into battery vertically. But it works reliably with a jager guide rod and wolff 13 lb spring. Shoots flat too. I think the correct alignment of having an oem size head on the guide rod on the jager is what fixed the problem. I could be wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nofrontsight Posted June 30, 2016 Author Share Posted June 30, 2016 I'm using carver guide rods, not sure of the springs. Both are gen 4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
