Many of you know about the lawsuit Glock settled out of court with S&W back in 1997. Well, S&W was still allowed to make its SIGMA pistol, which later became the SDVE Series and SD Series. There are several parts that can be interchanged between some Glocks and the SD/SDVE line of firearms. Such as, the firing pin spring cups, the firing pin spring, trigger springs, and the slide take down lever along with its spring.
A few weeks ago I was installing a Wesbaun spring kit into my SD9. Upon removing the cups that hold on the firing pin spring, the spring caused one (2 total) of the cups to fly into oblivion. So, I called S&W the next morning and they were going to send me 2 more, free of charge (normally .63 cents each). But, it would take 7-10 business days to receive them. I got on the interweb and ordered 4 Glock cups (they looked identical to my S&W cups) from EBAY for $4 and free shipping. They would arrive in 3 days. I wasn't sure if they would fit, but if they didn't I was only out of $4. THEY FIT!
The ONLY difference between the S&W cups and the Glock cups are, the S&W cups are white and the Glock cups are black.
