- The purpose of this video is to First stress absolute importance of maintaining functioning magazines. Second and diagnose and correct the malfunctions of this particular firearm. Hope you enjoy the video I know it has been quite some time.
He took that mag release out so quick! You are truly the Glock whisperer!
JOHNNY GLOCK YOU ARE THE MAN!!! Since my retirement I have taken on little projects that I didn't have the courage to do before. One of these was putting together my very own 9mm pistol. I have seen some call these "Guchi Glocks", whatever, I call mine a "Sammy Glock". However, I was highly disappointed with my creation for a while because I was getting several failure-to-feeds. That is until I saw this video!!! I have about 12 old mags from my working days with the Glock 19. As per your recommendation I changed three springs (as an experiment) to the 17 length, and "SHABANG". I could feel the difference right away. With the old mags I could feel my Sammy Glock kind of dragging rounds into the chamber. Now it feeds with a very positive slam, I feel no drag at all. I cannot thank you enough for sharing such valuable information.
Firearm diagnostics from Johnny Glock vids are second to none. Your vids/archives have raised my comfort level to perform simple and some complex repairs/maintenance.
Just the way Johnny talks to the camera is what made me subscribe, he is communicating in a way even I can understand. I’m a fan already, thank you Mr. Glocks 😀
The most impressive part was how quick you removed and replaced the mag release.
Yeah, that little tool he uses really makes it easy. I have an old wax sculpting tool that happened to work the exact same way. Absolutely wonderful!
It was like a magic trick. He did it so quickly I had to play it back to make sure he actually took it off the gun 😂
Brand of that tool need one
I have a haaard time with that 😁 I usually have my buddy swap those out. Not as quick as Johnny but not as slow as me
Yeah. I was like holy crap, all in the wrist on that one! I just subscribed!
Firearms forensics 101. Great stuff man! The way you show every how and why for every aspect really helps everyone, inexperienced through well seasoned.
11 coil G17 spring in a G19 mag. Got it. Thanks man!
Greetings from Caracas Venezuela, congratulations for your channel and for the excellent lectures published on the Glock pistol, thank you for that, a hug for you and your family, continued success, much prosperity, health and work, later on I will do several questions related to the topic, for now I'm still in tune with your videos, see you soon.
You demonstrate a very thorough and professional process here. I know a lot of gun owners, and probably gunsmiths too, would have stopped after the slide release consistently caught the slide on an empty magazine. However, You have a set procedure for diagnosing and verifying the function of EVERYTHING related to magazines. You didn’t stop the moment you could say “there - it works!” In this case, you found a messed up mag spring that HAD to be replaced because you kept going. Also, it never would’ve occurred to me to check the mag release spring. Hats off to you sir!
Coming from 1911s, I know a lot about magazine problems. I had a Kimber compact 1911 that came with unusable mags. Even with new springs, followers, and baseplates, I still didn’t trust them 100%. There are so many variations of followers, but eventually you figure out what works. Every time. A long time ago I found one company - Tripp Research - that provides 100% magazines and mag parts for 1911.
So glad I found this channel. Thanks big time for all the critical info. you share.
Great info! Thanks so much! Not enough videos about magazine maintenance, cleaning, or inspections. You covered it all! Thanks again!
Great video and tips. Thanks for the heads up on the springs.
Thanks Johnny! You really covered a lot of great information. Having a gun in the shop with all of those problems makes for a great video.
Thanks for sharing your wisdom. I have quite a few Gen 5 19 mags that need the springs replaced. I’ll be putting in 17 springs for sure.
Your knowledge is AMAZING!!!Thank you!
excellent video. Johnny sure does have a passion for what he does. Such a cool dude.
I love you attitude man and attention to details, if I ever need anything done ur my man !!!! God bless ...
Great content!!! Thanks for the advice as usual!!
I wish I could be your apprentice bro! You’re the man with them Glocks 👊🏾
Another Great Video. Thanks
Man...I am watching all of your videos and its better than binging "Breaking Bad". So informative and interesting to watch and learn.
Thank Jonny, you the man no doubt, thanks for your teaching.
Great to see you again, Sir!
Dude my first video w you and man I learned everything you wanted to teach on this one. Awesome!
Great info, thanks!!
Great informational vid.
I always learn so much from you! You are the freakin man!
These simple measures are detrimental & often overlooked. JohnnyG you are true to your craft & a damn great armorer, best of the best IMO.
Great video… just started watching your videos.
Good to see you back. A baby bottle brush is a good cleaning tool for mags and inside mag wells too (just dont get the foam tip kind or they could leave foam chunks in places you dont want them).
Thanks dude.
Just bought some Glockmeister 11 coil springs for my gl19 gen4
Johnny you are a "GLOCK GOD" ! Thank you for sharing your experiences with us, it is a tremendous help; a lot of so called Glock Armorers, and specialist can learn from you. I know I have cudos Johnny.
Awesome info...thanks
Your videos are the best
Nice job!! Keep up the good work!!
Great video
Thank you for the Education
Good stuff. Just subscribed.
That carpet runner really beings the space together.
Thanks for the tutorial, also!
Thx u Prof.Jhonny ...
Another great video. What would be a good round count to look at all this for mantance. You don't know how many mags I gotten for free because people don't want to mess with them . And their super cheep to fix. This is way I love your videos you show every step. What's your opinion on brake cleaner to clean with ? Also what spring would you use on a 17 mags
Well organized troubleshooting tutorial, not so sure about the movie bathroom thing? Stay well Homer!
"It feels like the bathroom floor in a movie theatre..."
Watching flicks at Pee-Wee's Funhouse again? :D
Awesome video man. You packed a ton of info into such a short video.
I love the hair and your attitude!
Johnny glock is the glock whisper. At my club i was going to open a mag rehab center 🙂 . People think i am nuts i clean my mags before i put them away into my range bag. All my mags not just my glocks Great instructions again
You are a wizard.
The comment "These are older mags". Me sitting here with my First Gen (non drop free) mags in my carry G-17...
Thanks, really interesting. I have a Lone Wolf 40 S&W, and I was wondering if it would benefit from a replacement trigger. The one in it is a bit spongy as the previous owner was a gun mechanic. I am here in Australia, and access to spares is limited. Can you suggest a brand of trigger I could chase up, cheers
Is there a specific brand of replacement springs you can recommend?
I have an early gen 2 17 I’ve been carrying since 1993 that I’ve shot thousands of rounds through the 2 mags that came with it. They still function flawlessly but numerous factory mags I’ve bought throughout the years since are not as strong as those original 2. You’ve inspired me to replace the springs and followers. Also, are the springs for my gen 3 32 mags the same as my gen 4 19?
Loving your videos, just found you this week. Would you recommend running 19 springs in a 26 magazine? Thanks for all the info.
Dental 190/191 elevators work great for the mag catch spring.
Great video! What would you recommend for a spring in a G17 mag?
Can you say what brand of magazine spring that was that you use and spoke so highly of? Thanks, love your videos.
U the man 🙏
Very nice video. Love your process and dedication to your customers. What springs are you using in the Glock 17 magazines?
Good points.
As always educational as well as entertaining. Thank you Johnny
Thank you !!!
So in cases where you have an extension is there a good rule of thumb for coils per round?
Mag lives matter...great video brother.
Hey JohnnyG, where can I get one of those extended grip plugs?
Holy shit great info.... What and where is the spring you pulled straight out of the frame at 5:38... I tear my glocks apart for cleaning all the time and have bought a few of your triggers... I have never seen that spring before..
Should I use G22 springs in my G23 mags for the same reason?
Baby bottle brush from dollar store works great for cleaning mags!
Can you lmk how and what kind of spring you have in ur 17 round Glock mag. I would like to do the same with my 17 rnd mags
Thanks!
I love watching people that know their shit
Johnny, do you lose any capacity in a 19 mag with a 17 spring? What kind of spring for a 17? Did I miss it?
I need to rebuiid 2 of my 10 round mags. I see a 9 coil and 10 coil spring are offered. How do I know which one is correct?
Johnny Hedgehog! Love your videos, always very informative.
Where can I get the springs and followers?
hi,
are the longer springs for 17 mags also oem?
Awesome Bro, you know your SHIT, and nobody has a right to second guess you on anything. Thanks for the info!
Nice stippling! Where did you get it done?
I have a g19 gen 5 should I get the g17 spring in mine I tried looking but I can't find 11 coil g17 spring
Can I buy those longer springs? Just recently purchased Shield Arms mag extension and it does not feed as well sometimes. Or what other springs can i get for them since they are +4/5 for glock 23.
Sheild will send u them for free...
Johny G sipping that anti-viral juice like it's nothing.
It's Johnny G, showin' how he roll
Sippin' on anti-v juice...slide back
With his mind on his gunny
And his gunny on his mind
Interesting about the G17/G19 springs. Thanks (yet again). Stay safe.
Where is the best place to buy all the parts?
So good to see you back Johnny!
I've been using newer model Magpul 12 Rd. Exd. Mags. in my Glock 26 gen 5 carry gun. Have put many hundreds of HP and other rounds thru them and never a problem.
I look around the internet and people either swear at them or by them. I would go on what you say Johnny, trust your experience!
Johnny can't you use a 40 glock magazine with 9mm ammo on my g19 g4 or do I need to change the follower
can you tell us where we can buy mag springs affordably
Why would the mag catch affect whether the slide locks back? Does it put the slide at a weird angle?
Don’t mean to sound like I’m asking a silly question but I have no one teaching me so I’m learning as I go, but how often should you clean out your magazines then?
On the range during qualification I have had slapped a magazine home and the slide would automatically drop stripping a round where I continued to shoot. Is this something your familiar with and is it a problem? I’ve never had a stoppage or double feed or any issues.
Wouldn't trimming the mag catch slot make it loose cause every Glock mag gets that deformed upward bend after use.
Do you have any tricks to make the Shield S15 mags (43x) reliable? I bought 2 mags. 600-700 rounds of inconsistent behavior. Failure to feed issues.
So when you add that extra two coils of spring and have the magazine fully loaded, do you experience any magazine swelling?
Hey buddy. What springs would you recommend for a G17 with a +5 baseplate extension?
Big ones.
With a plus five they damn well should have sent some with the extension. I would say at least something with 14 coils
Selling a +5 extension without a spring should be considered malpractice. Maybe order a spring for a 33rd magazine and cut it shorter.
@@johnnyglocks I'm thinking in terms of replacing worn out springs. Thanks bud.
Where is the front sight on that pistol ?
Also nice troubleshooting video !
Comment edited...watched video again and my question was answered.
I have a polymer80 and I have failure to eject and failure to fire occasionally, mostly FTE. What can I do to trouble shoot?
Those are some pretty serious issues it would be really hard to say without having the gun. But with those kind of issues it sounds like the something's up with the barrel lug in relationship to the locking block
I run Glock OEM 99% of the time. Would you agree that ETS mags are cheaply made? Any opinion on FAB Defense mags?
Thank yee!
Ok so what's the mag spring replacement for the g17
Wolff extra power (+10%)
I’ve got a long ways to go for 15k on my G23 but I might have this issue with my 365xl that I bought used. 👍
Gen 5 pistols only reliably work with Gen 5 mag followers?
replacing the Springs with a 12 coil and an 11 coil very smart I've been doing that for at least the last 15 years with my G17 and G19 mags but replacing the followers IMO completely unnecessary just clean them on a regular basis.
Full Glock magazine.... It rattles when shaken. Anything wrong? What causes that?
Are the springs different for the 10 round mags?
most likely because it's a single stack and skinnier
