We G19 Guide Spring

[DOBBO45]

Can anybody recommend a stronger guide rod spring for the we glock 19 gen4!

The actual rod? I don’t think anybody makes a steel replacement, but it’s pretty simple, I’m sure you could get one knocked up

@Dan1712 what do you think?

Stronger spring if poss, or could i double up the spring? 

 

[Guest]

Why do you want a stronger spring? It will only mess up the balance of the gas  pressure, recoil spring and hammer spring

The spring in gun feels weak , would a 150% Guarder enhanced spring cause me issues then? We leave as it is if that is case.

Still not clear what you're trying to achieve. Are you after stronger recoil?

 

[Guest]

Guarder spring percentage is based upon 100% being the TM rate, your spring is already 130%

Sounds like you have another issue tbh

Ok what i was trying to achieve is for the slide to be stiffer ie when it goes in the holster there is very little resistance so the slide will move back easily, compared to other pistols i have. If its just the way it is a will leave it alone it was more of a feel thing than a performance thing.

Sounds like you holster is too tight

Ok mate, even out of the holster the slide can very easily be pushed back with little to no pressure required at all really ,does that make anymore sense? ?   

I will try and post a video up, it may just be the way this particular gun is!

WE's can be a bit loose and wobbly. Which holster are you using? Does sound like it's too tight. As far as I know their G19 is wider than the real steel version.

Holster is a cytac universal fit for 17/19

If the holster is tight just put your thumb against the back of the slide when holstering to keep it in battery.

Better than messing with the balance of the guns mechanism
