I put a reduced power striker spring as part of a kit I got into my Glock.
Got a few light strikes and the trigger is a little too light for me.

I remember reading about three different spring weights for the striker, light, medium and stock.
Does anyone know who makes or sells the medium weight spring?

TIA for any info.

I was under the impression that there was a spring made by someone that was between the reduced power 4lb. and the 5.5 factory spring. Maybe I was dreaming

Wolff lists the 4lb. as reduced power, the 5.5lb stock spring as the medium and their 6lb. spring is Extra power.

Maybe the reduced power one I got is bad/weak?

Glockworx works really well in all my glocks.

There was a spring that one company made - the old glockworks or some such name perhaps, that was blue and was maybe 3, 3.5 if I recall.

When the company went away, so did the springs.

You can experiment with cutting coils off of the stock spring.

If the trigger is too light, go back to stock spring weight. Seriously, it resolves a lot of problems and cuts down on the tinkering. I personally tinkered with all of my glocks but after a 6 month lay off I am really considering just putting all the stock springs back in my production guns. The all still work, but I'm not a sensitive to the light reset as I was and need more feel in the trigger.

I have been considering clipping a factory spring and have to round one up don't want to clip mine. I know what I have with that one and is what I have been using.

The 4lb.? I got is soft, in between those two would be perfect. 4.75lb.?????????????

It never stops amazing me as to how different the trigger feel on every Glock I have owned or handled is. Stock or not Stamped parts and such by different suppliers and so forth maybe?

I will have to see if Glockworx has something,Thanks

I was having problems with light strikes with a Wolff striker spring. The spring was one of a package of 10. I made a jig to test the striker spring weights and found that of the 10 in the package the problem spring was the lightest in the package. I picked another spring that measured in about the middle of the group and had no more problems. I did learn there is a reasonably large variance in spring weights in the sample I tested.

I've tried cutting coils and have not experienced any negative results. I cut one coil at a time and tested the spring weight until I got the trigger weight I wanted. I probably have 2000 rounds on that spring with no problems.

When I first started with a glock, I got one of those blue springs. When it went away and no longer worked, I went to stock minus 3 coils. Gave me a similar feel. I've since played with it and the variety of Wolff springs.

The more I tinkered with springs and connectors, the more I kept coming back to stock or near stock, albeit using aftermarket parts (which may or may not be legal once the new rules come out).

I think it is a progression that all glock shooters go through - we want the lighter trigger, then the shorter reset, then a crisper feel even if heavier to where we find that we can pretty much shoot a stock glock fine - once we've mastered or understand the basics!

After using all the so called better Glock FP springs and having problems, I went back to the stock spring with no problems. I don't recommend cutting any coils off the springs, you are just asking for problems when you start cutting them.

Just my opinion based on experience.

I've used Lone Wolf Dist RP striker springs for a long time and have never had a light strike, were talking trigger pulls down to 2lbs. Too many variables to list, but make sure the channel is bone dry and the channel liner/spring cups are in good shape, cheap enough to R2.
