Wolff Springs for a Grock

Hope I don't confuse anyone with this.
Saw that Wolff makes some 18lb recoil springs for my Glock-21.
As I have said before, my history with this pistol has always been problematic. 1911's, Browning's, Baby Eagles, etc...Don't have a problem with but when I go to polymer the pistol always seems to stovepipe and jam.
Talked to someone and they said sometimes this is a result of "limp-wristing", so they advised going to a heavier set of springs.
Question:
1) How does increasing the strength of the springs prevent this from happening (if at all)?
2) Looking at the recoil spring on the Glock, I don't see how you could replace it without getting a new guide as well. I mean how do you get the spring off?

Hope this wasn't confusing,

Thanks,

Jon
 
I use a Wolffe 24 lb spring and steel guide rod for my Glock 32. That's with a recoil buffer. When I use the FAC 40 bbl I use the factory guide rod and spring assembly. I have used several Wolffe springs to make up for heavy loads.

The strongest one I have used is a 26 lb spring for my 1911. It still didn't do enough to tame those 185 gr JHPs at 1500 fps. Ok, so that is a stout load. I don't shoot it anymore.
 
You will need to get the steel guide rod from Wolff, along with as many springs as you think you'll need. This will save on future shipping charges. I recommend getting at least three springs if you plan on keeping the gun for any length of time. Cheers.
 
C.R. Sam-
Empty round actually gets caught. One thing I have noticed is that it tends to happen exclusively with S&B 230 grain FMJ's. When I put Federal 230 grain Hydrashocks through it, no problems.
I'm thinking I should go to other brands. But I was always under the impression Glock's "ate anything".
I've run Fiochii, S&B, Winchester and Federal FMJ's through my other firearms with no problems (both 9mm and .45).
Guess I should increase my Glock's diet, but truth be told I just do not care for the pistol and I'm thinking of putting it back "on the bench" in my safe.
Get a jam probably once every 25 rounds with S&B FMJ. I have segregated out my factory mag's, and found that about one in four tends to be a problem child.
Called Glock about the problem and they said to ship it to them and they would see what they could do.
But I really like to try to solve my problems at home, without shipping a firearm through the mail and paying $25.00 in insurance.
Inspector Callahan-
Appreciate the tip! Will do.

Thanks,

Jon
