Frequently Asked Questions

What is included in the GlockStore Performance Center Competition Spring Kit?

The kit typically includes a reduced power striker spring (e.g., 4 lbs), a reduced power safety plunger spring, and an increased power trigger spring, all designed to lighten the overall trigger pull of a Glock firearm.

How does the trigger spring in this kit differ from the others?

Unlike the striker spring and safety plunger spring which are reduced power, the trigger spring in this kit is of increased power. This works inversely to aid in trigger reset, contributing to a lighter perceived pull weight.

What are the benefits of installing a competition spring kit on a Glock?

Installing a competition spring kit primarily reduces the trigger pull weight, which can lead to improved accuracy and faster follow-up shots, making it beneficial for competitive shooting and general firearm handling.

What safety precautions should be taken before installing a Glock competition spring kit?

Before any modification, ensure the firearm is completely unloaded. Remove the magazine, visually inspect the chamber to confirm it is empty, and keep all ammunition away from the work area to prevent accidental discharge.
