Tyro Shooter Posted November 2, 2012 Share Posted November 2, 2012 Don,t use epoxy, to unstable to heat . . it delaminates from the polymer base at about 125 degrees, . . . . think table start in the summer. I've succsefuly used urithane addhesives to repair grips from people that have had extra special work they did that went very wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Force Posted November 2, 2012 Share Posted November 2, 2012 Melt it back together with a wood burning Iron and throw on a magwell. Looks like it had a magwell on it before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PistoleroJesse Posted November 3, 2012 Share Posted November 3, 2012 I suppose if it bugs you, you can try and fix it. I had a OD 17 with the same issue. It held a glockmiester plug and I was shooting production, so I just left it alone. It will still shoot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EkuJustice Posted November 3, 2012 Share Posted November 3, 2012 I say leave it as is is its not hurting anything. You could also send it to glock with the factory parts ie no upgraded trigger parts or they wont come back and if its warrenty is free if not its like 43 bucks for a replacement frame Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this is possible then I can also use the gun for production if I get a new frame. Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EkuJustice Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 It will have a new serial number on the frame. No reason you couldnt as they are replacing the frame with a new frame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
splashdown Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 I'd just leave it as is. The crack won't go past the lanyard hole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leas327 Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 My 35 is cracked like that. Not sure when it happened but it doesn't hurt anything. Unless you have a sweet lanyard setup you are wanting to run. You could always do a Sevigny speedway setup if you want to fix/hide it. They fill the whole plug area with epoxy.

cheezdog Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 Go with JB Weld. You can do it from inside the gap and it won't be noticeable unless you're still using the magwell. Leave it alone if you're using the magwell. I know it bothers you knowing it's there, I guess you'll just have to buy a new frame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dvcist Posted November 26, 2012 Author Share Posted November 26, 2012 I went with JB weld and although I am not used to magwells, I slapped in a heavy magwell. Boy, thought the magwell would improve my shooting. I was faster changing mags without magwell(you better believe it) and I drew gun slower. I even installed a long tungsten guide rod but I was better off with the short one that fits my 17. Maybe its just a matter of time before I get used to this set up. Not trying to prove anything just saying as I beat a master shooter with a bill drill with my stock 34 and he was shooting an open gun some stages some matches and a few others every once in a while. Still have a lot to learn but it was an eye opener to me. Sorry to get off topic . JB weld it was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Extremo Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 There is a 2-part glue (forgot which brand). It's a base primer and a cyan glue. It's been working on all plastics I've tried it on. Glued a 2011 grip among other things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultimo-Hombre Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 I just found the same crack on a 34 with a zev magwell, bummer. Will try a jb weld repair and get a pic up of it. Not happy leavin it seeing as that bit of plastic is all that holds in the heavy magwell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
