Has anyone modified a Glock 17 slide lock spring to fit a Glock 19?
I have a Glock 17 lower parts kit and though that I could use it to complete a Polymer 80 Glock compact frame. I had assumed that all of the parts were the same. Upon further investigation I realized that the slide lock springs are different. I have not started on the 80 lower yet, so maybe I can use either slide lock spring? I would just like to have all of the parts before I start on the frame though.
Is there anywhere that I can buy these locally? I hate having to pay $7.00 in shipping for a $3.00 part.
Lastly, WTF Glock, why make these parts different?
