Initial issues corrected: shes running great
Had my Glock 17 for a while and since I already have some other duty built pistols, I decided to make a little race-gun style build out of it. Had some issues at first:
Long story: after putting on the 5port comp and the new slide I was having short stroke/FTE issues, assumed to be from the comp soaking up all the energy. The man himself told me I needed a reduced power Striker spring and a 10lb round wire recoil spring (ah, duh) and that I needed 145+PF ammo. but after installing I was still having issues with FTE/FTF so I took it to a gunsmith I knew and he casually takes the little fin holster clip off (i didn’t mention this was on here earlier bc I didnt think it was an issue.) puts in an 11lb flat wire recoil spring, and lubes up some affected areas. (Im in the background like theres no fucking way this is going to do anything.) Bang Bang Bang…. You gotta be joking. It works.
Short story: Im a dumbass and didn’t realize that because the comp was so massive and the recoil spring was so light, the squeezing of the holster fin on my frame was slowing down the cycling of the slide just enough to screw everything up. Also i was shooting a PF of like 138 so that didnt help.
Holster fin is off, PF ammo 148, shes running good!
