Dear Armorers,
is there any official Glock maintenance schedule?
As a document or table or simple list of periods and parts to be replaced ...
My local Glock importer (in Central Europe) said "there's none", but I'm full of doubts
ToddG recently told me that 7500 rounds period is recommended by Glock.
My question is - "What should be replaced each 7500 rounds?"
- some springs,
- all springs,
- some springs and parts,
- …
Thanks.
Sorry I'm not able to answer your question, but here is a armorers manual, might be good to have.

For my 9mm Glocks, I replace the following every 3,000- 4,000 or so rounds. I used to ignore maintenance on these guns, and during a TLG class my Glock 19 slide flew off the frame. It was very humbling.
I would replace:
Recoil spring assembly
Firing pin safety spring
Slide lock spring
Firing pin spring
Extractor depressor plunger spring
Trigger spring
One could make the case that this is excessive, but I'd rather replace all of the springs at once, instead of in a piecemeal fashion. The springs are inexpensive and can be installed in your pistol in just a few minutes by an Armorer.
Where in Central Europe are you?
GermanSynergy has the right idea.
My experience shows most people that boast about not ever doing any cleaning, lube, or other preventative maintenance on their guns are full of hot air ... GLOCKs included.
Sure, I go without cleaning my guns for extended periods from time to time but I don't intentionally neglect them as I would actually like to trust my life to them. Cleaning time (or maintenance time) is a good time to inspect your weapon (including small parts) for wear or breakages.
I replace my recoil spring and slide lock spring every 3-5K and do an entire spring kit (minus mags) every 12 to 15K.Originally Posted by GermanSynergy
Since you don't keep exact round counts, I can see your side.
What are some good resources for these replacement items?
Emergency Field Replacement Kit - $24 for non subcompacts:

I'm a GLOCK Certified Armorer (like almost every one else it seems) but their parts filling SUCKS. I have given up on them after a couple of sour years and get all my parts from Brownell's now. It's just easier, faster, and more efficient for only a few more dollars.
It's tough to beat those spring kit prices w/ Brownells (even w/ the discount). I usually throw one or two in with my regular orders since shipping is essentially no additional cost.
I didn't even know there were "kits" out there. Frankly, I've never shopped Glockmeister and places like that. I have traditionally stuck with Brownell's for most everything and Midway USA for the things Brownell's doesn't carry or is out of stock on.
