I purchased the steel rod guide with the 13lb spring for my lcp. They will not let my receiver slide back far enough to lock open??? Ideas???

Did you take the old rod AND spring out? Is the rod installed the correct way? Did you put the slide retention pin in correctly? I'd give YouTube a whirl.

I haven't had any problems with my Ruger LCP besides how hard it is to keep the guide rod in place while trying to slide the slide back in place, I have the issue u have every once in a while when I disassemble and reassemble the weapon but that's a USER issue.. I can't remember exactly how to fix it but it usually takes me about 35 seconds to resolve it, trying pulling the hammer back and then try to put the slide back on, if that doesn't work then squeeze the trigger and try again, it will go on

I would let it sit for a few days and work the slide and /or shoot it and the spring should get a bit shorter and easier to pull back. My gun was easier to lock open after a week of being in the gun and shooting the pistol a few magazines at the range. If that doesn't work I have heard of people having to send the rod and spring back and next one they sent was no problems.

On a striker fired pistol you need to rack the slide after every test shot. Have the same issue with my Ruger SR45, but not my 1911!

I have mine mounted to an XD .40 service model and the one major draw back to this product is the pin that holds the quick release lever. After about 350 rounds through the weapon w/ the light attached the pin began to back itself out. It's a quick fix with a spring pin but it is something to keep an eye on. Hope this helps.

Don't even attempt if you don't have a sight pusher. Rear wasn't bad but front was a pain. I have the cheap $60 sight pusher from glockstore, and it was still difficult. I didn't file fit mine because the front is press fit. Pusher dented the front a little. Accuracy depends on how centered they are, and the shooter skill. Up to you. I prefer to do it myself because I'm way too anal. I centered mine with Starret digital dial calipers. Lol

Yes..I put one of these and a steel recoil spring guide rod in mine and it made it very nice to shoot. Accuracy was improved greatly as well. Both of these upgrades are well worth the money spent. You wont be disappointed.

I don't see why now! If the guide rod looks just like a factory glock guide rod, then it should be just fine!

They say it's the stock spring weight but when performing a recoil spring assembly test it failed. The test is when you pull the slide back and keep rear pressure on it up until one inch from the barrel, that's when you let it go. The slide is supposed to spring forward into battery. I replaced it with the stock spring which passes the test. Pat - cert. Glock Armorer

2:03 PM (2 hours ago)to Amazon I am using the UTG CQB Red/Green Dot Optic Model SCP-DS3840W. I only use the rifle for targets and this works great. We shoot at 4" steel gong targets from 100 yards and only miss when it is shooter error. This model has locking windage and elevation adjustments. The fellow I shoot with does not have locking adjustments on his optic and has had to reset each time we shoot. I am very happy with my setup. In order to mount both you will have to have a top rail on your handguard. I replaced my stock handguard with the UTG SSSR Model 4/15, easy install. Hope this all helps. 2:03 PM (2 hours ago)to Amazon I am using the UTG CQB Red/Green Dot Optic Model SCP-DS3840W. I only use the rifle for targets and this works great.

I'm afraid I can't help you with this. It's described as a spring and rod for the Ruger LCP and that's what I used it in. I have no clue if it would work in some other make or model of firearm, but I wouldn't try it unless you can get confirmation from someone what knows for sure.

I used the plastic rack out of a 38spl ammo box as my block. Grip retention pin can be used for 90% of the install, but I used an 1/8" brass punch for most of it so as to not mar the roll pins. Trigger pin is smaller than my smallest punch, so I used a 1.5mm allen key. Be mindful not to lose the take down lever retention spring. It's not mentioned in the video as was eaten by the black hole under my bench. It is on the front locking block above the trigger assembly.

You should try the rod first that came with your gun, if not you could risk opening it up or try sending it in for repair

If you install this kit with the included springs I believe your pull will be about five pounds, and much smoother. I think you'll really appreciate the difference this kit makes. If you want to swap in a new set of sights this would be the time to do that too.

I had a similar problem when I first got my press. I have found that keeping gun powder out of the slide area and keeping the slide lubed with Horandy spray lube has resolved the issue. Once the slide gets fouled with gunpowder, at least in my case, that's when I have issues with the plunger rod. Hope this helps. Mike B.

Nope. Just go to hardware store and purchase 10mm fine thread bolts. Also use lock tight on bolts so they won't vibrate off. I just purchase the plastic pull start because the metal. Recoil throw plunger thing stop working. Lasted one month.

Just don't overload the catcher. Try to unload it after each clip. It will hold more, and you may get two or even three clips worth of brass in it, but if you unload it after each clip it should work great. Also, make sure it is sitting level off the right side of the receiver and not jacked up which can bounce the brass back toward the ejector.

I THINK IT HAS MORE TO DO WITH YOUR GUIDE ROD than the barrel length. Try giving Wilsons' a call and ask them. They'll know for sure. Perhaps Amazon's customer service can help you too.

Have another look at the sled. there is a bar that runs from the front rifle rest to the rear rifle rest that is above the tray that holds the weights. This bar will interfere with long mags but the weight tray is below the bar and offers not impediment to the rifle..
