i think i figured out my glock's prob.

[ca2pa]

i posted a thread a few weeks ago, sharing with all of you that i had a stovepipe with my glock. it hadnt happened before and "all of a sudden it did" so i took it shooting again and after only two magazines (30 rds) it did it again!! i felt devastated to say the least but i knew something was up since it had never done that, like an idiot i had forgotten that my brother had given me and recently installed a lasermax internal laser with spring/guide rod. so i went home and disassembled it, i didnt see anything wrong with it (but im not an expert). Not knowing it would solve anything (but said its definately worth a shot) i re-installed the original factory spring/rod assembly and visited the range again. I must have shot at least 75 rds thru it and nothing!!. i think this had to be the problem, has anybody heard anything like this before? it seems too much coincidence for me.

You must now write "I will not put aftermarket parts on my Glock" 500 times

Seriously, how many times do i have to tell people. There's no problem with your glock, there's problems with superfluous bullshit you put on your glock

+1 marcS, well with that being said, i have heard people talkin about upgrading the guide rod to a steel one as opposed to the plastic one and a better spring..good or bad idea?

ca2pa....please refer to post above yours. The more you "upgrade" your glock, the more problems you may just create. I would leave it how it is and shoot the hell out of it.


Why fix it if it ain't broke?!?!?!?

I have well over 5000 rounds on my lasermax G26, it went about 3000 rounds last time without a single cleaning. Zero, nadda, zilch failures of any kind.

Are you sure that you have the correct guide/rod from lasermax?

Yep, i ordered the one specifically for my g19. the small rubber housing on the end (not quite sure the technical name) seemed to be worn off and coming off, i dont know if thats whats causing it.

Problems with the lasermax are by far the norm.
