Springs

If you are worried about what some might call "creep" or perhaps taking a "set", don't worry.

If a spring is actually made of real spring material and is used inside its acceptable operating range (not compressed or stretched too much), it will not take a set in your lifetime (practically never actually). Same goes for mag springs.

Get a "Trigger Block" . I bought one for my g-17. Its adjustable and fits behind the trigger. It pushes out as you get ready to fire. I practiced with it many times and it doesnt add more than .01 to your first shot. A lot of people dont like them, but if your new to glock , i say its a good use of 10 bucks.

What ever you do dont put a trigger lock on a loaded cocked Glock!!!!!

Never put a trigger lock on any loaded firearm!!!! :banghead: :banghead: :banghead:

When you can not train yourself to keep your finger of the Glock’s trigger, don't use a Glock or a DA revolver or DAO semi.

If the person can't train to keep the finger off the trigger, that person shouldn't use any gun.

I don't know about Glock but because after the slide is worked to the rear and the hammer is set against the sear (the hammer being under tension by the mainspring), HK recommends that the "pistol (the model P2000) be cleared and the hammer dropped on an empty chamber prior to placing the pistol in long-term storage." A reviewer of this pistol notes, "This is probably a very good idea, as it is not advisable to place any device in long-term storage with springs under tension." I wrote a letter to HK requesting an explanation as to what they meant by "long-term" and the reply I received was sort of a canned response, reiterating the need to "deactivate" the pistol when storing it for long periods of time.
