Radar 1957 Glock 17 Level 3 Holster - Help!

[Austeyr]

My WE Glock 17 got stuck in the holster, I had to remove this part to get it back out:

However I can't work out how the spring sits correctly. Anybody have any idea?!

Managed to fix it. In case anybody else runs into this issue:

The looped part sits in the recess, the two arms need to be bent over so they sit on top of the looped part and then the whole block slides into the holster. It's very fiddly. I ended up using an m4 AEG trigger pin to hold the spring in place so I could bend it over and then knocked said pin out with the main holster pin

Any idea why the pistol was stuck per chance?

Seems like the CNC WE slide is slightly wider than the real glocks as this is the second real steel holster I’ve had issues with my glock 17 Gen 4 fitting into

That would line up, I'm not sure about the Gen 4 and 5 but the TM Gen 3 is known to be just a smidge bigger than RS making holster fitment a gamble, and WE cloned TM of course. Surprised it got fully locked in that hard though, that was unlucky.

I need to now very carefully and gently try my TM in my issue Radar...

To be honest, there was resistance and I figured "fuck it" and pushed it all the way in so... If it feels like it's going to get stuck, don't

I read the TM Gen 4 was 1:1 but I'm not sure if that's a new or old model? Curious if there is any actual 1:1 Glock 17 Gen 4 models that are also good performers? I assume the VFC G17 G4 would be 1:1?

Correct , the vfc glocks are closest to real gen4

Hmmm... context is EVERYTHING.
