rtg Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 What parts should a guy have in his range bag just in case when shooting ? G34- G35 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Micah Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 I posted this in a related thread a little while ago: Glockmeister and Lone Wolf would be my choices for parts. I would strongly suggest picking up: -4 trigger springs -2 striker springs -2 sets of striker spring cups -2 two mag release springs Springs, especially the trigger and magazine release, will break on your Glock before anything else. If you have a little extra money, invest in an extra striker, ejector housing, locking block, and extractor. With all of these parts in your range bag, save a catastrophic case failure, you should be able to fix any problem at the range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badchad Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 (edited) I vote for an extra gun. Trade or cannibalize as needed. I keep my spare parts at home. Edited to add: When I was out of state for a training class, I broke a striker and later a slide release spring. If I had just brought parts I thought might break I would have been screwed royal. Luckily I had my G34, which I whipped apart and fixed my G35 in about 2 minutes each time. Edited February 19, 2009 by badchad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jman Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 Springs and pins. I am more likely to loose these parts before my Glock breaks them. But you never know. I keep extra factory recoil springs assemblies too. Those are for fellow Glock shooters who can't keep their gun running. Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PatD Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 +2 I keep an extra Glock in my bag when shooting production. I've never had to pull it out of the bag but the first time I leave it at home, that will surely be the day my primary breaks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham Smith Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 Been a while since I looked, but I believe that Glockmeister has just such a kit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshF Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 Nothing like an extra gun all setup and ready to go. Plus it is an excuse to expand the herd so to speak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuck in C Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 The only thing that broke on one of my Glocks was the mag catch itself-the little plastic (er, polymer) shelf that holds the mag catch spring to the catch. I was able to borrow a gun to finish the match but now I carry a spare mag catch also. By the way, the pistol functioned perfectly if I held the mag in with my support hand.

Precision40 Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 I have spares of every part except the locking block. $30 worth of small parts will cover 99% of all problems. Stupid to buy an extra gun just for spares. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AggieMM Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 With as many competitions I shoot in a year, I don't want to be slide-lined with a gun (Glock 34) that never fails, when it finally does. Here's what I put in my spare parts bin, for "insurance": # PART 3/4 Recoil spring assembly 6 Spacer sleeve 7 Firing pin spring 8 Spring cups 10 Firing pin safety spring 13 Extractor depressor plunger spring 18 Magazine catch spring 19 Magazine catch 20 Slide lock spring 23 Trigger mechanism housing with ejector 27 Slide stop lever 28 Trigger pin 29 Trigger housing pin 34 Locking Block Pin For MAJOR competitions, I'll bring my Glock 17 for backup. Just my $0.02...... Ryan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just my $0.02...... Ryan I usually keep a complete set of springs as well as a trigger housing and 3 1/2# connector in my range bag. That and at least 15-20 mags in addition to an extra holster and mag set up that belongs to my son. If he isn't with me at the match that's an extra rig that a new shooter would be able to use to run a stage or two. That's one way to introduce a new shooter to the sport.

Jim Rusert Posted March 8, 2009 Share Posted March 8, 2009 Absolutely bring a back-up. In my case, I bring my G22 to back up my G35. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
workingman Posted March 8, 2009 Share Posted March 8, 2009 Been a while since I looked, but I believe that Glockmeister has just such a kit. Glockmeister Glock Field Emergency Spring Replacement Kit This kit includes all of the springs in the gun - 2-EPM Magazine Springs, 1-Extractor Depressor Plunger Spring, 1-Trigger Spring, 1-Firing Pin Spring, 1-Firing Pin Safety Spring, 1-Recoil Spring Assembly, 1-Slide lock Spring and 1-Mag Catch Spring. All are factory new parts (the magazine springs are EPM 10% extra power and the slide stop lever spring is custom made - not available from the factory). Specify whether you have Fully Metal Lined Mags (FML) or Non Fully Metal Lined (NFML) Magazines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SA Friday Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 I carry a back-up and enough to gut a glock and replace everything but the block with both factory and competition springs. Ya, I roll a little heavy, but I've done my share of new-person glocksmith field work to make it pay off in good vibes. I've even been known to have the equip to change sights in my bag.
