I still say go for it. I don't want anyone thinking I'm the first in the post to spell Wolff correctly. I've had Wolff recoil springs for several previous, and some current pistols. I've thought about the Wolff mag springs in the past, and quite frankly can't seem to justify the cost compared to factory replacements when it comes to the Glocks. Again---you are wanting something to perform in a factory mag that was intended for a specific purpose. I have nothing for my factory mags besides factory replacements. Springs, followers, bases. Just recently, I rebuilt three G22 mags I had problems with. Those were purchased used hi-cap, and I've always stocked myself pretty good on the Glock stuff just in case. All of my Glock mags now work flawlessly in the intended pistols. If you want me to count my total Glock mags I will---even I'd be interested to know since I've never really taken inventory. I'm almost sure the Wolff springs will do you well, but at what extra expense to thwart a non-original application issue.

On my new G30sf one of the mag springs was messed up and although I bent it to allow the follower to align, I decided that since I was ordering some Wolff springs for my 1911 mags, I would order a three pack for the Glock. They are working as I expected a Wolff spring to work - well and all the time. I ordered them directly from Wolff.

If you are having magazine issues with a glock, why not just buy another magazine and send the one giving you trouble back to the factory?

I spoke to Glock and they do not guarantee that the larger mags will work in a subcompact pistol. The mags are flawless in my 23. I'm going to the range tomorrow with all of my .40 S&W Glock mags and I will see which ones have issues and replace the Glock springs with Wolff springs. Or better yet, I will just replace one Glock 22 mag spring so that I have a spare mag for the 27.

I was having feeding problems due to worn mag springs. I figured I would give them a try. The problem was less but not good enough for a carry gun.
All other springs I have tried are top notch. There customer server is great. They worked with me till I no longer felt like working it out.

you can buy the springs directly from wolff (the link you posted), midwayusa, or brownell's. I've dealt with all three sources, service was excellent from all of them. Bookmark the Gunsprings site though because it offers cross referenced applications between gun brands, lists factory specs for recoil springs and sometimes has better prices on combo packages or multi-spring packs.
Jack P.S. I use Wolff springs in all my guns and won't use anything else.

Thanks again to all of you for your replys. I went to the range this morning with all my mags numbered and figured out which ones need the springs. I went through about 500 rounds. The G22 mags seem to give me more trouble than the G23s. The 9 rounders were flawless.
For some reason when I fired rapidly all the mags worked without any hang ups. When I slowed down is when the last round or two wouldn't feed. I had a good grip with and without sleeves. It boggled me a little. Anyway, I ordered a three pack and a single for the 22 as they are longer springs. The rep from Wolff stated that the 27 and 23 mag springs are the same. So I'll take another trip to the range after I get the springs and see what happens.

I received my Wolff mag springs the other day. They delivered rather quickly. I put one in a 9 round mag that had a +1 Glock floor plate. I put one in a 13 round mag with a grip sleeve and one without. And I put one in a 15 round mag with a grip sleeve.
Previously all of these mags had issues feeding the last one or two rounds. I'm pleased to say that the 10 round mag ran flawless. The 13 round mag with the sleeve only failed to feed the last round twice, which is a significant improvement. The 13 round mag without the sleeve failed to feed the last round four times, which is also an improvement. I think that putting a grip sleeve on this one will help. Unfortunately, there was no improvement on the 15 round mag with the grip sleeve. But that's ok. I can live with that. I'm glad enough that the 10 round mag and the 13 rounders ran much better. Quick note: All mags were used between 8-12 times. So, overall I'm pleased with the Wolff +10% mag springs. Thanks to all for the advice.
