anbrumm Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 I am looking to make a box up with some spare parts in case something breaks at a match. What are some replacement parts that I should look into adding to the box? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JOThompson Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 Tagged, would like to know this myself. I do have a backup gun but would rather not need to lug it around to every match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anbrumm Posted July 8, 2016 Author Share Posted July 8, 2016 What Gun ???? My apologies. It is a glock 34. I do typically take my 19 as a backup, but would hate to have to swtich to it if a spring gets damaged and I can replace it real quick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven420 Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 You can replace every user servicable part in a glock for under $50. Just get one of everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Southpaw Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 You can replace every user servicable part in a glock for under $50. Just get one of everything. Every part in a Glock is user serviceable.

nwhpfan Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 The only spring I've every broken is the magazine spring - which I didn't have but I have one now. The only thing I've ever needed to do at a match was tighten my front sight. So that means having a front sight tool and some loc-tite. The box I take to the match is the same I take to the range so I have an extra striker spring, firing pin safety spring, trigger spring, trigger bar, etc. Having many spring cups are good because if you ever drop one, you'll likely never find it again.

JOThompson Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 Also, you can find some of these parts even cheaper in the Classifieds section. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamriser Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 Stock trigger group, recoil spring, slide release, extractor, sights, and more mags than I could possibly need on a single stage. Plus, I have a whole backup gun just in case I need extra parts or something happens that I can't fix on the range. A Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anbrumm Posted July 10, 2016 Author Share Posted July 10, 2016 Thanks for all the replies guys. Will definitely make a list of parts to start with. Keep them coming if there is anything else ya'll can think of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PTRDRGN Posted July 10, 2016 Share Posted July 10, 2016 I think replacing parts at a match is stressful.. always in a hurry, no testing etc.. I've never had my G34 fail me, but a back up gun would be my choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarge Posted July 10, 2016 Share Posted July 10, 2016 Glocks are so cheap I would just have two EXACT duplicates. Just run to the safety area and swap them out and you're back in business. At bigger matches you have to get approval from the RM but that's a no brainer with two identical guns Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

emm66 Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 I carry my G17 as a back up for my 34. I haven't needed it yet, but another competitor needed it, so he borrowed it for the match cuz his 17 went down. I leave the replacement parts at home.

At bigger matches you have to get approval from the RM but that's a no brainer with two identical guns There was a point where even Glocks weren't cheap for me and I'm sure thats the same for a lot of shooters. Get a set of replacement springs and firing spring cups. Then make sure you have a factory replacement for any aftermarket parts you replaced. I would say almost every failure I have seen in a Glock is a result of an aftermarket part or hand loaded ammo that didn't work properly with the aftermarket parts for one reason or another. Usually someone trying to tweak the trigger pull and getting light strikes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have more than one? I just spent $80 or so including shipping for about 2/3rds of the internal parts after an abysmal match where my G22 decided to FTE over the weekend. I'd consider this deal if you itemize what you're including and whether it's new, OEM, etc. Seriously. PM me. Glocks are so cheap I would just have two EXACT duplicates.

Leave the parts at home. This. I should have with my G22 but I was traveling and didn't want to tote the G21 along (it's my backup for major) - I should have. I don't know about exact duplicates, but for Single Stack, I carry a backup 1911 (of lower quality, but I don't depend on it for every match).
