    So I ordered this for my G19 Gen 4. Does not allow the slide to move rearward more than 1 inch. Emailed their customer service so we shall see what happens. Wonder if they sent me the wrong one? Doubtful because it fits like it is supposed to but the slide will not cycle.

    Bummer. I hope you get satisfaction or a full refund. Interesting to learn how their customer service dealt with the problem and how long it took.

    I've been brand loyal to Wolff for so long I don't even know who else makes quality recoil springs these days. If I decide to go captured again on my G19 is this a comparable quality option (given the right part is sent)?

    No you pick which Glock you have on their website. Holding the stock part next to this they look identical but obviously not.

    What is the difference between a G3 and a G4. I owned a Glock 19 G3 and it did not look like that recoil spring(that I remember). My 32 G3 spring is not like that either.
    What causes the spring to only compress about 1 inch ?? --- SAWMAN

    19 G3 has a smaller nose glide rod and G4 has a bigger nose glide rod. What some guy do is buy a cap to hold a G3 glide rod in a G4.

    To my knowledge Gen 3 vs Gen 4 changes were threefold; diff guide rod (single vs double spring), finger grooves, and double notch mags for easy left hand mag release switchover.

    Turns out the issue is I am a dumb ass. I did not have it seated properly. There are steps on the barrel and once I got it pushed down to the correct step it cycles fine. The spring is quite strong. (Cringing as i type this lol) but hopefully this will help someone else!
