TxD said:How do you get the captured guide rod apart to change a spring?
Thanks in advance.
mike benedict said:You probably won't see an malfunctions until the spring is totally shot but you are risking frame damage.
Glock did not recommend changing springs until they started to see frame damage and broken rails on the .40 cal. pistols.
Now they give you a sack of springs and tell you to replace them often.
Springs are cheap insurance
Or you order a guide rod for a glock 17 then use whatever springs you would like.mike benedict said:you don't
Just order a new one and replace the whole thing
noway said:I also used ISMI springs and their all steel rods now in my glocks. They offer a way to adjust the recoil spring function. I would like to see them offering something like that for the M&P.
