98sr20ve Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 Probably over 100K rounds. I have been shooting the gun for about 6+ years. Didn't notice the crack until I cleaned the gun. I did have a round not go into battery while shooting. Tapped the rear of the slide. Still didn't go in. Ejected the round. New round did not go in even with a tap. Ejected it and the third went in. Don't know for sure that this was when it cracked. It ran fine for at least another 200 rds after that. Called Glock. They were very "uninterested" is the nice way to say it. But he did say "Just send the slide in and we will look at it". Can't really expect much else I guess at this point. Glad I don't have to send the entire gun in.

JBP55 Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 I expect Glock to replace the slide at no or very little cost to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mlmiller1 Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 They replaced my slide on a stock g17 when it cracked several years ago. They put my old parts back in it but it was a new slide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G17 Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 I think that's really cool that Glock is willing to replace stuff like that. I hope they take care of you buddy and you get a brand new slide. Just out of curiousity what model Glock is it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ede Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 I have a cracked (same place) 17L slide from a '88 ported 17L. Never tried to get it replaced, but think I might send it to them and see what happens. Worse thing would be I get my cracked slide back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
9x45 Posted November 6, 2013 Share Posted November 6, 2013 I have cracked 2 slides, both G17's, at the forward part of the ejection port. Glock replaced both of them. Dropped my load from 4.4grs of TiteGroup down to 4.0grs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Nesbitt Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 We have cracked 2 slides at the ejection port. Glock replaced both slides. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad I don't have to send the entire gun in. Wow. That's a lot of rounds though it. Just curious how many barrels that took. (new G34 owner).

Tried a LW barrel and sold it because it would lead horribly with every combo of bullet I tried. Got a KKM and shoot only lead. Lead won't wear out a barrel.

98sr20ve Posted November 14, 2013 Author Share Posted November 14, 2013 They received the slide last week but I did not have serial number of the gun when I called to check on it. They acknowledged they have it because they have the ability to see it through the tracking number I gave them but said it takes nearly a week to get to the right place. I can see this is going to take a little while. Never call Glock with out the serial number of the gun. I just assumed that they would link the Name with the Serial Number but that is clearly not the case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Nesbitt Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 Your new slide will probably have a different serial number. Both of ours did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98sr20ve Posted November 15, 2013 Author Share Posted November 15, 2013 They are sending me a new slide in the next couple days. That is nice. No cost. At least he didn't ask for any payment info and he said "under warranty". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bishop414 Posted November 15, 2013 Share Posted November 15, 2013 Glad to hear they took care of you. When you sent the slide it, did you have all the internals in it, or just bare slide? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Took everything off except the internal sleeve. Don't know how to get that out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98sr20ve Posted November 21, 2013 Author Share Posted November 21, 2013 They sent me a fully loaded slide and recoil spring. So they treated me better then great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
