Brand new Glock 26 problem

It is the factory one most likely, and if it's not it's a good enough knockoff that I'd be fine shooting it. Speaking of that, how does yours perform at the range? If you have any other safety or manufacturing concerns I'd be happy to buy it from you for the right price.
 
Thanks for the replies and sorry for the delay, I've been busy.

I am new in town and I just found a range. Weather has been bad so I haven't been able to shoot the pistol yet.

I saw a Glock 17 recoil spring and it looks all polymer, whereas this one looks steel. Thus my question hoping it was the factory recoil spring.

By the way do you always fill out the Glock warranty card? Is it necessary?

I'll be reporting back soon.
 
You don't need to fill out the warranty card; however, nobody's mentioned the obvious that you need to be aware of when firing a Glock: make sure that the end of the pistol that has a large hole at the end of the slide is pointed downrange, when/if you ever get up enough courage to actually pull the trigger. :evil:

I seldom register anything ... basically never. "Warranty Cards" are just info gathering and that's not something I do voluntarily. I can't think of anything I own that was refused warranty work because I didn't submit the card or register online. As is the usual case ... YMMV.

I've had several old hand loading dies adjusted totally free of charge and they were decades old. Same for my Dillon RL550B. If only the rest of the world had customer/warranty service as good as I've found the shooting industry to have.

That metal recoil spring u posted a picture of is a new recoil spring assembly. I bought a Gen. 4 Glock 27 about 4 months back and it came with the recoil spring pictured above and I had trouble with the slide not going fully into battery when I rode the slide forward. I would have to give it a slight bump at the rear of the slide for it to fully go into battery. This is a common issue with these Gen 4 glocks apparently. Anyways, I called Glock and they sent me a new recoil spring and it resolved the issue. I prefer the plastic recoil assembly simply because I never had a problem with it and I'm not quite sure why Glock made the switch. I feel as though Glock tried to fix something that was never broken. This was my second Gen 4 Glock 27. The first one came with the all plastic recoil assembly (which never gave me any problems). I'll be honest, that faulty recoil spring made me lose faith in the Gen. 4 Glocks. I sold that Gen. 4 Glock 27 and went back to 3rd Gens. I now have the Gen. 3 G29 SF... And it reminds me why I fell in love with Glocks in the first place. Considering I hear more problems involving Gen. 4's, I'll probably just stick with Gen 3's from now on! YMMV.
 
Btw... the replacement recoil spring assembly they sent me looked idential to the one that was giving me issues going into battery. But was marked 0-8-1 or 0-1-8. Can't remember which one! And it took two tries fo get the correct recoil assmebly. Never recieved the first one that was sent to me... Read quite a few reports on this issue.
