How long does recoil spring last?
The recoil spring should last a very long time. I would say it should be checked every couple thousand rounds and I would guess they may last anywhere from 5,000 to 10,000 rounds (depends on a lot of factors).
How often should a Glock recoil spring be replaced?
every 5000 to 10,000 rounds
380, 9mm, . 45, and 10mm I recommend replacing every 5000 to 10,000 rounds. I also recommend that you use only Glock factory recoil springs. I’ve tried a few others and not once has any non-Glock-OEM recoil spring lasted more than 1000 rounds before it either broke or started causing cycling issues.
How often should you replace a semi automatic pistols recoil spring?
3,000 to 5,000 rounds
The Spring’s the Thing The recoil spring is a part of your handgun that will need to be replaced. While there’s no exact round count for when you should replace it, many shooters use 3,000 to 5,000 rounds as a general guideline.
What does a recoil spring do?
A spring that is placed at the rear of the bolt of a automatic or semi automatic gun, that is utilized to take in or contain the recoil. The recoil spring is needed to absorb the shock of when a bullet is fired and the firearm pulls back towards the user so as to lessen the reaction of impact the user receives.
Do pistol magazines wear out?
Magazines and magazine springs wear out. They aren’t designed to last forever whether they are used often, or loaded up and left to sit for years at a time. The best way to avoid any of these issues is to keep a regular maintenance schedule and carefully clean and inspect both your magazines and firearms.
How long do guide rods last?
I’ve used the captured tungsten guide rods from Glockstore in both my G22 and G35 for about three years with no problem. More recently bought their non-captured one for my G35, since it is longer and adds a little more muzzle weight. It has about 1500 rounds through it so far with no problems.
How long do handgun barrels last?
Most barrels will last 30–50,000 rounds or more before accuracy begins to suffer. A steel frame will last virtually indefinitely. A quality alloy frame should last easily beyond 100,000 rounds, I’d say a good polymer frame like a Glock should last even longer than that.
