Glock Gen4 sub compact

Are you sure that the sub-compact Gen4 G26 and G27 pistols released in late 2010 continue to use a single captured recoil spring? The previous generation of the Glock 26 and other Glock subcompacts were more than simply a "shortened" Glock 19, design. The subcompact Glock 26 required extensive rework of the frame, locking block, and spring assembly that featured a dual recoil spring. At http://glock.pro/showthread.php/1411-Gen4-G26-pics-and-range-report you can see Glock 26 Gen3/Gen4 comparison images that clearly show dual recoil spring asemblies in a Glock 26 Gen3 and a Glock 26 Gen4.--Francis Flinch (talk) 19:34, 8 January 2011 (UTC)

You are absolutely correct; I had been discussing this with a Glock dealer a day or so before I made the edit and misinterpreted what he had been telling me. He had stated that the recoil spring for the Gen4 G26 and G27 subcompacts were carried over from the Gen3 version, and I jumped to the conclusion that this meant that the Gen4 G26 and G27 had a single recoil spring. I've since revised the passage to correct this error on my part. I suppose this just goes to show that a dyed-in-the-wool Sig user shouldn't write about Glocks.

Notification: changes to "Mark my edits as minor by default" preference

Hello there. This is an automated message to tell you about the gradual phasing out of the preference entitled "Mark all edits minor by default", which you currently have enabled.

On 13 March 2011, this preference was hidden from the user preferences screen as part of efforts to prevent its accidental misuse (consensus discussion). This had the effect of locking users in to their existing preference, which, in your case, was true. To complete the process, your preference will automatically be changed to false in the next few days. This does not require any intervention on your part and you will still be able to manually mark your edits as being 'minor'. The only thing that's changed is that you will no longer be able to have them marked as minor by default. For more information on what a minor edit is, see WP:MINOR or feel to get in touch.

Thank you for your understanding and happy editing :) Editing on behalf of User:Jarry1250, LivingBot (talk) 21:15, 13 March 2011 (UTC)
