Do you carry for self-defense if it's your range gun I would try the titanium,titanium is actually more shock resistant than steel. That might not be the correct terminology but titanium will take many cycles of impact before breaking it is a bit softer than steel. Titanium is also springy meaning it will absorb some of the energy this could be important

You broke two locking block pins? How many rounds you have through it? I've got about 50K through my Gen 3 G34 and haven't broke a pin yet. :ffighter:

15,000? I have seen a few other Glocks go down during IDPA matches with broken block locking pins that snapped

I would think s7 or a similar shock steel would be cheaper

I am not worried about the cost. It will not do any good if it breaks again. I am looking to find out if titanium would be strong and have a less chance of breaking

I'm kind of curious to hear how many rounds to failure of the locking block pin as well.

I would stay OEM, what my Agency Armorer told us is that those pins are designed to break if the weapon is stressed...OEM pins are cheap---just my OPINION, nothing more or less...

I've been to a lot of matches, and was not aware of anyone experiencing this. I'm certainly not saying it doesn't happen, just surprised it's so frequent. Glocks going down in my area is typically a broken trigger spring.

Sorry I don't have any info about the titanium pins, as mine are still all running factory. Seems like it might be worth a try.

I would say a properly made S7 toolsteel piece would be the best then probably followed by titanium.

Give the titanium piece a shot it can't be too expensive I've used them in my weapons for firing pins for years with no problems.
