Yeah, but AP can run like a madman! If they can just keep the receivers they have healthy, I think Joe Webb can do them well.
anyway, I have a Gen 4 Glock 17 that I am rather fond of. I bought it to shoot SSP, cheaply, plus I can keep it by the bedside when I'm packing my CDP Pro.
I've not heard (before now) about any issues with the springs (although I admittedly haven't been looking, either), but I haven't had any issues with mine. I have predominately been shooting 115gr Independence ammo through it (which has yielded ONE squib in an entire case of ammo, so I've been pleased).
Gonna shoot it some more on Sunday, too! yay!

FWIW, IIRC, AFAIK, FTMP, IANAL. YMMV.
