If this has been posted before please cut me some slack, but
I received the following info in an email today and thought some here might find it of interest

"Dear XXXXXXX XXXXXXX,
GLOCK Inc. is voluntarily exchanging the recoil spring assembly (RSA) on its new Gen4 pistols (with the exception of G26 and G27 models). GLOCK has developed a new design to the recoil spring assemblies on its Gen4 pistols to replace several variations that are functioning in the market today. As part of the company’s commitment to perfection, we are voluntarily exchanging the existing RSA in order to ensure our products perform up to GLOCK’s stringent standards.
GLOCK is replacing the RSA in all Gen4s sold before July 22, 2011 at no cost. Please complete the following procedure to receive a new RSA. The RSA can safely and simply be swapped out using normal field stripping protocols. If you have additional questions, please contact GLOCK at 1-877-745-8523 (callto:+11-877-745-8523) with your serial number and model number.
CONSUMER ACTION:



Call 1-877-745-8523 (callto:+11-877-745-8523) with your serial number and model number to request your modified RSA. GLOCK will verify your serial number and collect shipping information
Within 30 days, GLOCK will send you a replacement RSA along with a pre-addressed envelope to mail in your old spring
Ensure your Gen4 is completely unloaded
Field strip your GLOCK per the instructions found in your ‘Instructions for Use’ manual that came with your pistol and replace the old RSA with the new one
Place the old RSA in the supplied shipping container and give to the United States Postal Service (USPS)

I bought my Glock Model 19 Gen4 inDecember of 2010. I knew back then that the double springs in the Gen4 Glocks were made for full power loads that people would use for defense purposes. I was told to cycle the slide several hundred times and to keep the slide locked back. I then shot generic fmj out of it. I had some problems with the slide not cycling fully which resulted in some jams. I then tried some Nato spec rounds and it functioned fine.

I called Glock and informed them of the problem, and they sent me a lighter spring assembly for the lighter loads. When I received it I tried the lighter loads and it has worked fine. I use the 19 in Tactical Matches.
