Can I dry fire my GLOCK pistol?
It’s ok to dry fire your GLOCK pistol, but we recommend using a snap cap or dummy round if you will be dry firing for a long period of time.
What kind of ammunition should I use in my GLOCK pistol? Can I use +P and +P+ ammunition?
We recommend using ammunition that is manufactured and meets SAAMI or other industry standards, and while some +P ammunition meets these guidelines, +P+ usually does not. This ammunition may generate a higher pressure than standard ammunition, which could shorten the life of the parts of your firearm.

No, we recommend the use of jacketed ammunition only.

When I disassemble my pistol, I notice that the recoil spring is no longer seated on the assembly notch of the barrel. Is this normal?
