unisonicz Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 Hello, I am not a gun smith and know very little about it. Sent my 2011 to a reputable smith to change calibers and with the new barrel it will not go fully into battery and the safety will not engage fully. With the old barrel it functions normal. Figured I would check here before anything incase I am missing something. Thanks! Old Barrel New barrel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unisonicz Posted January 27, 2022 Author Share Posted January 27, 2022 Oh man, didn't even see that one and would not have even known to look at that thread because of the title of it lol. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gng4life Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 Is the barrel hood locking up on the slide or does it look slightly out-of-battery? What guide rod/plug or reverse plug do you use? Is it a bull barrel or do you use a bushing barrel? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, looks like the lower barrel lugs didn't get properly fit to the slide stop.

Hopefully nothing that can't be fixed. Benny Hill is top notch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
