I have a Glock 19 question.....

[theroadnottaken]

i was just wondering (and tell me if this is a stupid question), are the gen 4 dual recoil springs interchangeable with the gen 3 single rate springs? if so would it be worth it to put one in my gen 3? thanks ~ Matt

No. Keep your 3rd gen spring.

 

[jojoa55]

they are not interchangable.

Here is why...

gen 4 on right

gen 4 on top

gen 4 on right

and in case anyone is wondering about the gen 4 mags....

notches for LEFT, RIGHT and ambi

Trigger bar and housing differences, gen 4 on left

Great info and pics Mvician !

For those who shoot alot of cast reloads... I also believe there is a dimensional difference somewhere on the barrel so a Gen 3 after market barrel wouldn't work in the gen 4. Hopefully someone will correct me if this isn't correct.

the cutout for the recoil spring is slightly different on the gen4 barrel


some have used their gen3 aftermarket barrels in the gen4's and had no problems

THAT is what I wanted to hear: I like the idea of a Gen4, but would like to fire .357 Sig as an option. Something about it sucking the snap out of .357 seems like fun!

Don't really know if I like knowing that ! LOL During the time I thought it would not work, the decision as to what gen to buy was clear to me. Having the ability to use barrels I already had will be one of the factors I weigh in deciding which gen I buy next.

No they are not interchangable
