G21 problem??

[GLOCKINGRAT]

Hello everybody i was wondering if anybody else has experianced tgis before with any of their glocks before, recently i been shooting my glock the recoil spring will not stay in place it slips out of the notch on the barrel where its suppose to hold i noticed it last timw out at thw range bcuz my rounds were flying high left so i called glock and they sent me a new recoil spring, i since then have installed it but havnt shot any rounds through it,i have dry fired it and have the same problem the spring will not hold in place has anybody experianced this problwm or have a solution? Thanks

Completely normal.

Normal. That notch is for installation only. After the slide cycles the spring will move down. No worries.

That's the way it work's. If your rounds are going high and left, that's a shooter problem and not a recoil spring issue.

[QuarterBoreGunner]

All above are correct; perfectly normal.

Idk about shooter problem i even brought the target 5yards close n was still flying high, maye it was the crap reload ammo i was givwn

[QuarterBoreGunner]

If they were flying high and left consistently, then it's not your ammo. I'd say it's just your style of shooting and adjust your POA accordingly.

The recoil spring isn't an issue.

I swapped the recoil spring for one of those aftermarket stainless ones on a brand new G21SF, my sights were off terribly shooting high and left of center. After some troubleshooting the conclusion was that fancy $30 recoil spring I swapped out changed the way the slide locks up to the frame. back to the factory designed glock recoil sping, and problem solved. Lesson learned, it was a already a good design, not much chance that another company outside of Glock is going to make something better that they didnt already consider doing themselves.

Your more than welcome to shoot it in both configurations for yourself.
