Calling all Glock experts...(Chris Z)
SemperFiGuy:
FWIW, I've used a .40S&W Lone Wolf drop-in barrel in my Glock 33 (.357SIG).
Extractor and magazines all stay same; no changes required.
However, the LW barrel is really picky-picky about ammo and does not like truncated cone (TC)/flat point (FP) bullets. Jams on feed ramp frequently. (Now....if you want practice clearing jams.....)
It does feed the round-nose (RN) bullets pretty well.
So---guess what I already got a lotta made up: TC and FP. Bucketsfull. (Had to eat a Lot of Ice Cream to get those buckets!)
Oh, Well: There's a good alternative: My Glock 22 will eat anything .40S&W. Even TC and FP. Just cram it in mag, tap, rack, pull trigger. Works. Bang! By the bucketsful.

Thanks for the input guys. Might just try the barrel swap and if there are weak ejections I will replace the trigger housing. I would only swap it back to completely stock once a year when the weather cools down and it becomes my normal carry gun.

Keep an eye on my thread about 9mm barrel reaming. Some have had serious CS issues with LW while others have had great success but from what I've read the extractor has never been an issue. If it is just change it.

Since there are Glock experts lurking around on this thread I have a question. My practice Glock is a model 19; I don't know which generation. I bought it years ago as a police trade-in. I've run well over 10,000 rounds through it, and maybe closer to 20,000. I've had the trigger spring break twice, a few years and thousands of rounds between the two. The first time I had a gunsmith fix it because I was really busy back then. Last time I replaced it myself, this time with a heavier spring that I got from Glockstore. The spring only costs a few dollars, but when it breaks the gun is out of service. So what I want to know is this: is this a common problem for Glocks, and is there anything I can do to keep it from breaking again?
Chris Z:
Not common for the trigger spring sring to break that often although I have seen them break...
My first suspicion would be the spring has been put in backwards. Make sure if looks like an "S", not a " Z". I would only use factory Glock springs....
Bring the gun to me sometime when I'm at a local match at The Ike's or thunder alley and I'll be happy to take a look at it and put a new trigger spring in
Another thing to note.... A nice feature with the Glock, is that if the trigger spring were to break in the middle of use.... The gun is still completely functional. All you have to do is keep the trigger pinned to the rear and rack the slide. Then do not release the trigger, only when it out to the reset point, and you can keep on firing the gun. If you accidentally let the trigger out and it goes dead again..... Keep it pinned to the rear and rack the slide again
