For what it's worth Sig recommends replacement of trigger bar spring every 20k rounds.
More clickbait junk from Reptile.
Meh ... a spring broke after over 7,500 rounds (7,500 rounds just in classes).
What % of gun owners put that many rounds through their CCW? ... probably less than 1%.
Since OP is too lazy to provide some context ...

Click bait. Heavily used weapon has small part failure. OMG!!
I was expecting to see some flying parts and potentially mangled hand/fingers. Very disappointing.
I had a "pull the bang stick and nothing happens" failure with a P938.
Kind of an odd situation. The firing pin block is a spring loaded cylinder held captive by the rear sight (so it's not something that comes out on a regular basis). It's up in the slide right by the firing pin, so it's in the "keep oil away from the firing pin" zone. After several thousand rounds, it froze in the depressed position due to accumulation of soot. The depressed position is the "safe" position (pulling the trigger moves an extractor stud that holds it up, allowing the piston to move down and release the firing pin). Needed to continually flush the area with solvent to free it up. Real PITA.

This. I built/building back up my Glock SHTF bug out bag situation on pistols, but after that Im building up all the spare parts kits upper and lower, recoil guide rods and and springs, and actually a few spare built off brand lowers.
Already did the same with my AR stuff project. Assuming in the future if SCOTUS rolls.....none of this shit may be available. Maybe pantshitting but better safe than sorry and financially and timewise im in a good place to do it.
For every pistol/AR there is a full parts kit or more to replace everything.
Everything is on sale/available and nobody cares about gun shit right now. This is the time to buy.
Always have shit on hand and replace it prior to it breaking. That way you can use the old shit for emergency spares instead of replacing and throwing away broken shit.

And better yet, EXTRA GUNS. Buy two, test both, set both up the same, carry one (and shoot it periodically) and use the other one and shoot the tar out of that
gun.
These guns are cheap enough that getting a 2nd gun shouldn't be a big deal.
good advice, gona buy more 9mm and 308 ammo, a sig 365,maybe a 308 carbine upper for my ar10 if it cheap enough lol.things are tough right now, they just lay off a bunch of people at my shop.
My G19.2 - tens of thousands of rounds without a single failure or a single spring being replaced.
My G17.3 - probably two dozen matches and several thousand practice rounds over the last year and a half without any malfunctions or spring replacements.
My G34.5 - same story, coupe of years of competition use and still on original springs.
Just lmao at you Siggers, cope and seethe. Don't forget to clean the rust off your mags and sights!

I have two G19s and two G26s. I am going to start using one G19 and one G26 for regular range practice, and have the others for EDC. That way I know I have a "fresh" gun (that I obviously thoroughly function tested) for EDC and I can put the wear on a training gun.
My SP2022: thousands of rounds through it, never had a breakage.
My P 226 my 25: thousands of rounds through it, never had a breakage.
My P 229: hundreds of rounds through it, several classes, never had a breakage.
Doesn’t mean shit. Anything mechanical has wear and tear. Even those ugly piece of crap Glocks (and I own some!). After enough use, any gun will shit the bed. No idea why you would feel the need to communicate your guns didn’t, just yet.
Do Glocks ever have trigger spring failures at high round counts?
I’ve replaced extractors and firing pins on ARs within 7500 rounds. Does that mean ARs are unreliable and should be avoided.
Your immediate stance that Glocks are god and don’t have wear item failures after several thousand rounds is woefully intellectually dishonest.

This
redundancy on your working/shtf guns in parts, mags, etc, and as many as you feel comfortable with is good, even spare replacement frames. Which is why I chose G17 gen 3 as metric shit tons of stuff fit it. Even a few knock off tackle box guns as parts can be used from those as well.
Why I chose AR and not AK as well, because there is more out there and I can carry spare shit easier and build easier, and break apart easier.
I have other pistols but I don't have crap for spare parts as they are not my daily working guns or the guns I'd be relying on in a situation.
