[mikeinla]

Are there two different size of Glock trigger springs?? I have a box of Glock parts and two different size springs for the trigger. All my Glocks are 9mm.
I also have a bunch of striker springs of different sizes and color. Anyway to figure what is what???

For trigger springs there are three available:

1.) Standard
2.) N.Y.1
3.) N.Y.2

However, the NY springs look different than the standard springs and one and two are differentiated by color. The springs you have pictured are the standard springs.



As for firing pin springs, there are three of those as well:

1.) Standard
2.) 28 Newton
3.) 31 Newton

However, the Newton springs are not available in the U.S. and are again differentiated by color (red/blue). All the spring you have pictured are the standard ones.



My guess is that some if the spring have been used and as a result are either compressed or elongated due to that use.

This is right out of the armorers manual, so I hope that helps.

Then why are the trigger springs a different length? These trigger springs are unused. They came out of a 19,17 or 34

Unused? You just said each of them came out of another pistol. I also looked them up in my parts catalog and it said all models. Perhaps the spring has changed of the years as well assuming they came out of pistols of differing ages.

YES, unused. The original springs were swapped out with Glockworx competition springs kits. So yes they are unused.
I was going to change some back to stock springs but now see I have two different size trigger springs.

Well, I am not sure what to tell you as GLOCK only lists one trigger spring in their catalog. There is a comment that says the current spring has a battleship grey coating, so my guess is that one is older than the other, but should work regardless.

When you reinstall the firing pin springs, don't forget that the end with the most coils goes toward the spring cups.

And we all know how many changes Glock makes and never tells anyone.
