Replacement parts are inevitable
We all know that Glocks are tough, I won’t say they are the toughest because there are other guns out there that may be as tough, but they are in the top tier of firearms. We know that everyone likes to talk and argue about all of the flaws in firearms and which guns are more reliable than others. Some handguns are meant for concealment and are not combat worthy and aren’t expect to put 500rds through them without cleaning to function flawlessly.
The reality for all firearms, though, is they all will jam or break at some point. All barrels wear out, all springs weaken, all extractors will eventually wear and break and so will firing pins. If you are a Glock owner, storing a few extra Glock Parts may be a good idea. You have a combat worth firearm that is meant for brutal use, but having recoil springs, magazine springs, firing pins and extractors in your range bag or in your home is a good idea. Learn to assemble and disassemble your handgun and you’ll know how to do your own gunsmithing and repairs yourself. Glocks may be one of the easiest guns to maintain and that also means replacing the parts.
