GHOST INC FIRING PIN SPRINGS (GLOCK GEN 1–5)
CONTROL YOUR TRIGGER’S SOUL
Whether you’re building a paper-punching track star or a duty-grade warhammer, Ghost Inc's Glock Firing Pin Springs (Gen 1–5) give you full control over trigger pull weight and striker tension. Swap them out. Dial it in. Make your Glock run exactly how you run.
Built tough, tested in Texas, and unapologetically not stock.
SPRING WEIGHT BREAKDOWN:
Know your setup. Run it right.
| Spring | Ideal Use | Pull Impact | Primer Ignition | Forge Files Notes |
| 4.0 lb | Target / Competition Only | Lightest | Weakest | Combine with a 6.0 lb trigger spring and 3 lb - 3.5 lb connector for ~2.0–3.0 lb pull. NOT for carry or duty use—light strikes possible on hard primers. |
| 4.5 lb | Range / Hybrid Setup | Light | Weak-Moderate | Good balance if you’re pushing light but still want to avoid Russian ammo failure. Add a polished striker for max results. |
| 5.0 lb | Everyday Use / Mild Upgrades | Moderate | Factory | Great with mild connector upgrades or trigger polish jobs. Glock-standard power. Boring, but it won’t fail you. |
| 6.0 lb | All-Weather / Hard-Primer Ready | Firm | Strong | Best with steel-case ammo or “budget” primers. Great for suppressor use, sub-zero climates, or if your Glock’s your backup on a boar hunt. |
| 6.5 lb | Carry Gun / Max Reliability | Firmest | Strongest | If you CCW, protect others, or value reliability over feel, this is your go-to. Pair with a 3.5–4.5 connector to smooth it without risking light strikes. |
Compatible with Glock Gen 1–5.
(Not for Glock 42, 43, 43X, 48. We love them. But no.)
WHAT THE SPRING ACTUALLY DOES:
The firing pin spring (aka striker spring) controls how hard your striker hits the primer.
-
Lighter spring = lighter trigger pull but weaker ignition.
-
Heavier spring = stronger ignition but a stiffer trigger break.
That’s why spring choice affects both your trigger weight AND your reliability—especially with cheap ammo or steel-case primers.

RECOMMENDED PAIRINGS
For full performance builds, pair these with:
-

-
R.I.P.™ Recoil Packs → Performance-tuned spring kits with matched striker, plunger, and comp options
⚠️ DISCLAIMER
These springs are for gunslingers who tune, test, and shoot. If you install a 4.0 lb spring and wonder why your steel-case ammo fails to fire... that’s on you.
Always test for primer ignition, reset, and trigger consistency after install.
