I have a Lone Wolf G19 slide that I just got and have been getting very light strikes, 50% no fire. It has a OEM Glock firing pin with a LW 4# spring, I beleive. Should be a 5#?

5.5# is stock.

What ammo are you using (some have hard primers)? You say you believe the spring to be 4# . . . did you order it with a 4# or are you thinking that is the standard spring supplied by LW? They usually include the stock spring with their assembled slides. Or, did you buy the slide used and aren't sure what spring was in it?

Wolff gives you other options than just 5.5 or 4.0 -- they have 4.5, 5.0, and 6.0 as well.

Ammo is fine swaped out slide to my stock G19 slide and shoot off all misfires. Slide has gone back to LW to be fixed and TEST FIRED so they said. Even parts are hard to get as of late, LW didn't have a LW striker so installed Glock striker and their spring which said on order that it was 4#. I think that would seem to be problem.

Just because it fires with a 5.5# striker spring doesn't mean it doesn't have hard primers. Not all primers will fire using reduced power springs; that's the tradeoff for the lighter trigger pull.

Even if your requirement is that it fire pretty much all ammo, sending the entire slide back and forth at this point is overkill. If you swap the striker with the stock spring and it works, they need only send you the stock spring they advertise coming with the slide.

Good info, thanks

Call Wolff Gunsprings. I use Wolff 6# striker and trigger springs in all of my Glock pistols. In 10 years I've never had the slightest problem, nor any reason to change. IMO, 4# striker springs are only good for use in, 'range toys'. A 4# striker spring doesn't belong in a serious working pistol; AND, a 4# striker spring adds absolutely nothing to any Glock when it's used in, 'the right hands'.

Remember: It's not the trigger's, 'let-off' that's important; instead, it's the trigger's reset; and, here, 6# springs make a real, perceptible difference.
