Rvajma Posted August 3, 2020 Share Posted August 3, 2020 So after shooting a match this weekend, I looked at my slide and found a piece of the slide missing behind the firing pin stop. The metal along the missing metal is a bit grainy. Not sure when it happened during the match, but had not issues with cycling. Any thoughts about what to do other than shoot it till it fails and have a new slide cut? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aircooled6racer Posted August 3, 2020 Share Posted August 3, 2020 Hello: I have a slide that broke in the same spot( Not Brazos). 30,000 rounds later and it still is running. It is a STI slide but I have seen some other slides break in the same spot so they must all come from the same place. The grain structure is terrible on mine as well. I have gone to a Caspian slides for my new Open pistol I just built. I would give them a call and see what he says. Thanks, Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Explosiveo Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 check that your extractor is not hitting your barrel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
konkapot Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 Had that happen as well; continued to shoot the snot out of the gun another zillion rounds. Not negating any of the above advice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
costeel Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 Yep, had the same thing happen. Shot mine until I cracked the slide at the ejection port. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RGC Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 (edited) Drive it like you rented it. If it were me, though....I would replace the slide.......and barrel, and frame...a mental justification on a new family member.
