Non-usable Recoil Spring Assembly
I had the same reset issue with the included recoil spring as the other reviewers. I bought the OEM Glock Recoil Spring and then it fired without issue. The reason for the two stars is the remaining parts seem to function fine.

Firing pin is oversized
Not as advertised. Firing pin is oversized and needs fitting. Everything else seems ok, but who knows.
