Do the tabs appear to be replaceable on the Glock, or are they part of the frame like the S&W?
I have to disagree, based on some comments and some measurements I have been able to do. The OEM spring is not fully collapsed when the slide hits the heavy lugs, the "U" section in front of those thin tabs, the section that is the ultimate piece that stops slide rearward travel.
