    That original, skinny SLS broke very frequently if you shot the gun much. They were the ones shipped in most of the Glock 19s sent to the Iraqi Police Service in 2003-2004 and we were constantly replacing them.

    Well, I stand corrected. I just put the newer spring in my gen 2 and it fit like a glove. Not sure why I have issues last time. I don't think it was a 17 spring but it's been over four years now so I must be mistaken.


    Thanks for putting out the correct info Big T.

    We could isolate Russia totally from the world and maybe they could apply for membership after 2000 years.

    Just curious, what is different about the Gen 4 spring?

    Shaped slightly differently.

    As to why, well that I couldn't get an answer to, by knowing GLOCKS love of parts interchangeability there must be a reason that came up in testing.

    Looks like there is more offset. Maybe to accommodate the new RSA?
