Silver_Surfer Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 Been reading alot on how you should always keep a spare slidestop because of breakage. Why is the failure rate so high? People using too heavy of a recoil spring?(Slaming into battery) Or is it just the design? I dont think it would be from a light recoil spring. Thanks Guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silver_Surfer Posted June 3, 2009 Author Share Posted June 3, 2009 Trigger return springs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
19852 Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 Mine is 18 years old, still using the original slide stop. My buddy with a 75 SA broke his, but he did tend toward heavy recoil springs. I had my trigger return spring replaced for a heavier one. I carry a bag with spare parts for mine [a good idea for any gun] My bag has: 1 slide stop 1 XP extractor spring 3 new mag followers 1 mag base plate extra fibre optic 1 14# recoil spring 1 XP mag spring Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
