FWIW, from all of the matches that I have worked (L1-L3) I don't recall seeing a Glock malfunction on a Glock that was only Glock parts (except 1 but that was a worn out 200K round G-17). It seems that the ones that did fail had Non-Glock Glock parts...
Other than that, don't drop stuff.
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.

That's very strange.
Has to be a manufacturing defect of some kind. I've seen people do very stupid things with Glock's and they always seem to keep on going, so for a simple drop to cause that much damage there has to be something else going on.
Is it possible it was sold to you as "new" but was really a trade in from someone who broke it?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.

That’s bc you’re used to Sig finishes… if you stare at them for too long the finish gets damaged.
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!
-
Thanks guys! I used that gun for IDPA for a while before jumping into uspsa a few years ago... SS minor it is! Thanks again

As the title says, thinking about going back to competing but I have virtually 0 competition gear right now. I want to get to shoot open, I used to compete limited, but all I have left is a single stack 9mm 1911. Should I shoot Limited 10 minor or Single stack minor? Thoughts?
-
In my search for a budget limited gun I came across this one... Any input or opinions? Thanks!

Hello everyone, does anyone here practice dry fire with a fire pin activated laser insert? I am looking to practice with my rifle to get better at trigger control and breathing. I have seen a few apps out there to have shots recorded. Any experience with any of these or are they just crapy apps? Thanks

I too was using a Dillon seating die and loading SNS 147 round nose. Was experiencing the same “nipple” look on the bullet tip. I believe the Dillon seating stem for the round nose has a vent hole at the tip that causes the “nipple” formation when seating a soft bullet. I changed to a Redding micrometer seating die and now my loaded rounds have no “nipples”.
Ok because that is what I am looking to go to.

Good there is consensus this is probably nothing to be worried about!

Quick question here. I am using 147gr xtreme bullets for my 9mm. I have used this setup for only those bullets. I ran out of them and the only thing I could find was Berry’s bullets. When I run the Berry’s through the seating die it gives me a weird circular deformation at the tip, almost like nipple looking. Has this happened to any of you? BTW they are going to correct OAL.

Thank you both!!
