Yup and right after that the sear puts pressure on the striker which is contained inside the slide which has a light replacement recoil spring, and it moves the whole slide back a bit right before it lets go of the striker. Welcome to the world of Out of Battery Discharge This happens when people replace the standard recoil spring with a lighter one and don't replace the the striker spring with a lighter one as well.

 

I understand what you are saying exactly. Wolf for one does pack a light stricker spring with their lighter recoil springs.

 

I've shot pistols with light recoil springs and standard stricker spring and haven't seen any issues but now that you mention it, it's something I'll really take note of.

 

Like everything I guess we are talking about how light and how played out a recoil spring.

 

Thanks Vlad, good point.

As a certified glock butcher, I can think of another way to enable it to fire out of battery - take out all of the pre-travel out of the trigger and you will have disabled both the plunger and the drop safety (trigger safety too, but you can correct that that by trimming the back of the trigger safety lever). Thats one of the reasons I do not really mess with pre-travel much.

Thats one of the reasons I do not really mess with pre-travel much.It's a good idea not to mess with the trigger bar at all as it will screw up timing as I think you are saying. I won't mess with the trigger safety either. I get trigger pulls almost equal to Vanek with out doing anything that modifys the original design.

 

 

OK Slav you are driving me crazy...Every couple of posts I am disassembling a stock gun and attacking it with a pair of calipers.

All the results I post are taken from an unmodified pistol. And being we can't account for any poor mods any one makes I have to

limit my comments to a stock gun.

That needs to be sent back to STI for inspection and pmc should also be notified about what happened and the ammo lot# disclosed to pmc for further inspection also.

Actually I have had a rather good record of success with trigger mods. Granted I have had a couple of guns go full auto before I figured out the workable combination. Since then I've had probably at least 25K rounds through my modified Glocks without a hitch. Not going to elaborate on what I do as I do not endorse it for anyone but myself.

Agreed-I never put out any mods on the net for obvious reasons. We really need to get together and trade info.

Maybe we're on the same page, maybe you get a better trigger. Likewise I'm running 3 guns with about 50k combined through them

but I change configurations based on different rule books.
