An LE teletype message has originated with the Brunswick (Maine) PD
regarding the simultaneous failure of the recoil springs on three (3)
Model 27s with which they had been training. The alert states that the
breaks occurred all with less than 200 rounds through the guns.
A call to GLOCK Inc. revealed that they had a recall on the recoil
springs in their sub-compact pistols shipped from 08/99 to 12/99. GLOCK
is sending out new recoil springs with a warranty to fix this problem.
