Glock 20 long slide extraction or rechambering issues

[jdub1836]

I recently bought a g20 long slide from a smith and it fails to feed a new round a lot of the time until it heats up. For hunting this is no bueno. Any ideas? I think he sad the stock weight spring was in it and that's what im thinking the prob is. I shoot hot loads and factory weak stuff. Also i was thinking maybe polishing it would help. Anyone have a prob with the LWD slide? what recoil springs are you using? Thanks

The model 20 factory slide spring weight is 17 pounds. On the Lone wolf site they list the weight as being "stock" under the heading "slide parts"
Now obviously you would have to measure your spring in relation to the slide length to be correct. Mine, stock length, at 17 pounds is 3 1/4" long.
Yours will be much longer I'd imagine. I would give Lone Wolf a call and see what the numbers on yours (stamped in the guide rod) will work out to in weight, overall, they can get you fixed up pretty cheap.
I have invested in a heavy tungsten guide rod and factory weight spring for the time being, but will be absolutely upping the spring weight when reloading for the higher velocity ammo.
