    Default Spares interchangeability: G19 / G26 Gen 4's

    Can the boffins please tell me what spare parts the Gen4 Glock 19 & 26 have in common?

    E.g springs, pins, locking block, connector, firing pin, extractor, slide release, mag release?

    Having carried my first Gen 4 G19 AIWB for nearly a year, I feel that its time to get my second pistol: something a bit more compact and it would be convenient if the 2 pistols could share spares.

    S&O are advertising G26 G4's for R8,900. Tempting, very tempting.

    I was going to post my question in the maintenance and cleaning thread but since Big T is already here I'm just going to get it off my chest.

    Can anyone confirm or deny that the G17 and G22 (Pre gen 4 models) use the same recoil spring?

    I have a Gen 3 17 (bought new) and a Gen 2 22 (bought second hand), on both the part number moulded into the rear is the same. I want to replace the G22 recoil spring and I have a new spare for my G17. Can I put the new spring into my G22? I counted the coils and compared the springs, its exactly the same thing to me, but I might just have a G22 that happens to have a G17 recoil spring in it at the moment so I do not want to screw around with it until I'm sure.

    Sorry for the hi-jack...

    Yup on the previous models (gen3 and earlier) 40,357,9mm,380 and 45 GAP use the same recoil springs.
