[QUOTE="Z71, post: 2089640, member: 26805"] They do need replaced on occasion! I dredged up a beat-up first gen G17 that dates to approx. 1986....the thing worked great as I got it...but I thought the spring felt weak...barely enough 'poop' to get the slide closed..and if you let the slide home slowly..couldn't push the slide back into battery. Also had a broken guide-rod and the old original style two piece recoil system spring and guide-rod. I put a new one piece spring/rod assembly in it and it felt about twice as springy as the worn-out original parts. Old Glock 17 still worked perfect.. I really wish I knew how many rounds had been through this old Glock with it's original spring...but I would say the original spring went well beyond it's intended life-cycle! [/QUOTE]
