    Critical Spare parts kit for Glocks

    What parts would you recommend for a spare parts kit for a Glock 17

    So far my thoughts are:
    1. Trigger Spring
    2. Recoil Spring
    3. Extractor
    4. Extra set of pins

    I am sure some other stuff should be ordered but I am not really sure what. Any help is appreciated.

    I keep everything but a slide/barrel/receiver. All springs would be a good start and all most will ever need.

    Same here. I learned the hard way not to neglect maintenance when my G19 slide flew off of the frame during an Aim Fast Hit Fast Class. I'll never live that down.

    If you are losing front sight screws you may as well have the whole front sight.

    I have a few of them in my bin.

    This is better because it has the front sight hex driver, and it's all metal:

    Thanks so far everyone. I should have mentioned I already keep a 3/32 punch and a front sight driver in my bag.

    So far I was able to pick up an extra

    Slide lock spring
    Trigger and locking block pin
    Recoil spring (already had a spare on hand)
    For the ejector pin I will keep the short one on hand as I use the back strap and can always go without if needed
    Trigger bar
    Slide release


    What about the cover plates are the magazine catch any need for them before I put an order in? Are the locking block and slide lock needed?

    If you break a slide lock spring, you might lose the slide lock too. I would have both on hand.

    A slide release isn't a bad idea.

    I don't carry mag parts because I have a ton of mags.
