Replace parts as necessary, while carrying a functioning gun. You are far better served with a duplicate gun for training and shooting, and a separate one for carry, than trying to figure out what parts you should keep spares of. Only twice did I have the same problem, almost 20 years apart, and the second time it wasn't on one of my guns, and it wasn't a part (in Glocks) that many people would check, let alone have on hand for repair. One of the guns was a two pin Gen 2 Glock 19, that had never been gone over by an armorer. I am responsible for the inspection, approval, and repair of the primary, backup, and shoulder weapons of 40+ cops. I have had strikers, trigger bars, iron sights, trigger housings, locking blocks, pins, and extractors break, and I have fixed them in minutes. My experience with buying spare parts for guns to 'keep on hand, just in case' is that they go into other people's guns FAR, FAR, FAR more often than they actually replace broken parts in my guns. The odds of it running right out of the box are definitely in your favor. I would probably not replace any internal parts unless the gun doesn’t run. Sometimes, I confess wanting a longer grip. What more could I possibly want from a gun?

This gun has killed every critter I’ve shot it at, hit every target, runs and runs like anything using quality ammo, and acceptably well on the cheapest crap imaginable. I plan to get a gen 5 at some point, but really I’m not in a hurry. It is one of my favorite guns of all time. One $18 new RSA later, and it was back online. The *only* issues I’ve ever had with it were several Russian steel case rounds that didn’t want to pop, one aluminum case from an Independence round (noticeably weak ejection - I stopped and checked the barrel for an obstruction) that flipped over and landed in the ejection port, and after about 2500 rounds, a chunk of the RSA nose cap disappeared. At ~325 rounds, I put a set of Trijicon HDs on it and kept shooting it. I cleaned it, lubed it, put an SCD on it, and started shooting it.

I bought a used G26.3 several years ago, my first Glock. I want to order all these before the waiting period of the gun. I want to buy one that is slightly longer to put a little more pressure if needed.

I just put the gen4 ejector into the new gen3 trigger block I buy and put into the gun.Īlso, I don't know where to buy the extractor spring load bearing. I am going to play it safe and put away the origin trigger block with the ejector untouched so if all else gone wrong, I just put back the original assembly. I plan to buy a new gen3 trigger block and a gen4 trigger block( to take the ejector out). I went on the Glock Store, looked like the gen4 ejector(30274) can just fit into the gen3 trigger block. I was to experiment changing some parts, here are my questions.ġ) Is the stock MIM extractor really bad that it won't last? Or is it just Apex trashing the MIM Glock extractor to sell their expensive extractor?Ģ) I want to change the ejector to gen4 as I read and watch on line that gen 4 is better. I just bought a new Glock 26 gen3 today, I will have it in 10 days.
