Disassembling Glock captive spring + odd self-disassembly story...
Is it possible to disassembly the captive spring that comes standard with a Glock 19? Try as I might, I've been unable to get it apart for cleaning. After nearly 10,000 rounds I figured it would be a good thing to have clean.
Additionally, a rather odd experience occured tonight: After putting several hundred rounds downrange, I ensured my G19 was unloaded, cased it, and took it back home. When I opened the case to disassemble and clean the pistol, I racked the slide, ensured it was unloaded, released the slide, then pulled the trigger in preparation for disassembly...and the slide falls off onto my desk.
It would seem that the disassembly lever is not there anymore. I'm not sure if it was there when I was at the range (I can only assume it was, as the gun didn't self-disassemble), but it sure wasn't there when I got back.
Anyone know where I can get this part, and how much it would cost? Any idea why this piece would suddenly not be there anymore? It was there the last time I reassembled it. Could it fall out during normal operation?
