A forum member came through BIG TIME. Thanks for the solution!

Well it was my daughter, I have no control over that. It just bugs me that it is a pistol with 100 rounds. Imagine if the pistol falls with the slide locked back… I just don’t think a pistol that is used in combat should do that.

Nobody has given me a good replacement brand!!! C’mon guys a little help please

No, it was brand new. I the owner is a good friend of mine and a very serious dealer. Very good reputation. The glock armorers said that is was a perfect storm fall. Apparently they do that is dropped on that specific area. There are a few posts on other forums with people having this happen to them.

LOL

The think is that there are absolutely no marks on that area... it is mind puzzling

I purchased a brand new Glock 19 Gen 5 Sat Oct 1st at my local gun shop. On Monday I shot 100 rounds of Blazer 124 Brass and went to clean my pistol in the evening. I was teaching my 7 year old daughter how to clean a handgun and she dropped the slide while attempting to scrub it with a microfiber towel. She dropped it over concrete and I looked at it and all I had was a small scratch by the front sight, maddening but she is learning. Anyway, I went to put it together and it wouldn’t go that is when I noticed the right side was bent in cracked. Now Glock wants to charge me for a whole new slide ($200). Granted it was dropped but from the height of a 7 year old girl... a slide should not bend like that, you drop an Sig slide from that height and will chip the floor. Needles to say I need a slide that can take a beating and is battle worthy, suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Any luck finding primers??? I have had leads on some but people asking as high as $150 for 1K small pistol. Where is the best place to get primers and what is a fair price?

So I finally was able to get a Tomasie Custom, now I need a great gunsmith to install a *thumb rest [generic]* and trigger job. My regular guy came up with the “I am too busy story” and he is telling me 4-6 months. What say you?

Those are all good opinions! Thanks guys! I like the idea of steel challenge!

Thanks guys! he is a pretty tall and athletic kid, I will try the controls, that is a great point!

My 12 y/o son is wanting to start pistol shooting. I have a Beretta 92X Performance collecting dust at home and I was thinking about letting him use it for production and eventually Limited minor (the 92X Performance can start single action with safety on) until he is ready for a true limited or open gun. What are your thoughts?? Thanks!

I have a FM lower with Hold Bolt Open feature. Will any of these in short stroke let bolt stay back? Is there a way to tune it so they do? Thanks!
