trigger spring

range

What is the best way to trim a tempered v- leaf trigger springs length ? I had to cut one with a dremel wheel and think it lost it's temper, I thought I kept it wet enough with water, apparently not, it lasted for 8 shots before breaking in the v section [B)]........any suggestions, hacksaw, grinder etc. ?

Oil prevents rust. Yes-oil it.

Technically, oil does nothing for a spring, except prevent rust. Glock's require minimal lubrication to function properly...a drop on the frame/slide rails, and that is about it.

From what I have read and experienced guns are machines with moving parts, machines with moving parts should be lubricated and protected from rust. I agree oil will collect dirt but that is why I clean mine after every use. If you don't clean after every use running less lube may be better but could cause wear over a long time. Agree springs do not need oil, but rust prevention is important.


Once again...This question pertains specifically to the Glock Trigger Spring. Refer to the manufacturer's instructions.

When in doubt, go to the Glock website and look up your gun's owner's manual.
