Glock 19 recoil spring

[hey.jesse]

Do recoil springs wear out faster in hot weather? I’ve got a Glock 19 that’s seen about 5000rds, and I’m starting to wonder whether the heat speeds up the wear on the springs. When do you usually swap yours out?

Spring wear is based solely upon the number of cycles.

The ambient temperature we live in is not going to contribute to spring wear.

springs can vary a bit batch to batch , some small difference in manufacture makes some types vary a lot. the heat generated by shooting the glock is a lot more than any heat from our weather. should you change the spring at 5,000 rounds ??? well if it having problems cycling yes on question, if it is not having any problems , me , I would change it anyway being proactive , the springs are cheap enough, and I would rather have total confidence in the gun.
