BTW I am/was extremely anal retentive about cleaning my weapons, I carried a back up Sig 239 in a vest holster as a result. Put thousands of rounds through both my Sigs (220&239) and neither has ever missed a beat. I’ll always vote Sig (until I find something better) Just my .02 YMMV. (Sig also do good deals direct for Mil/LEOs as well),
Defender968:
Your cleaning habits could have something to do with your issues. Glocks like to be run a bit dryer then other guns and maybe a bit dirtier. You being anal about cleaning and stripping your gun could have played a part in the failure. Getting two bad striker springs after being replaced with oe parts by a glock armor sounds to me like something else is wrong.
