Rye Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 I had bought a new glock 19 for carry. I took out the slide to remove the copper oil or clean it but in the processing of removing the slide, when i pulled it back and turn the slide lock down i accidentally pull the trigger and that push the slide forward and i was able to ermove it, it happened twice and now it seems like my firing pin is quite loose and my safety on the trigger. I never heard any internal noise that sounds like loose. I'm freaking out because it's brand new and I think I already messed it up. Any input on this would reall help. Thanks.

Graham Smith Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 I'm not quite following you. If you hear a rattle when you shake the slide (when it is off), it may be a normal result of how you are removing the slide. I don't remember the details of the test, but I think if you look in the back of your manual and you will find some instructions of how to check to see if everything is installed in the slide correctly. You may be accidentally doing this test. The trick to removing the slide is to just slightly pull back on the slide while pulling the slide lock down. Your finger should be no where near the trigger when doing this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RogerT Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 You are supposed to dry fire first, then retract the slide a bit and pull/hold down the slide release, then pull off the slide. The rattling noise is probably the striker, and that's normal. Test like this: pull the striker rearward and let go. Try to push it more forward. Then press on the striker safety and try to push the striker forward again, it should now protrude out of the slide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Precision40 Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 When it stops rattling I'd get concerned, it's a Glock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Griffin Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 If you're not able to get the slide off, you can lock it back and remove the rear plate with it still on. Remove the striker assembly and you should be able to get it apart. If it is already coming apart, however, then just make sure everything is where it belongs, as suggested. H.

kevin c Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 I thought the same thing: http://www.brianenos.com/forums/index.php?...&hl=striker It shouldn't rattle if you set the FP spring by racking the slide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarge Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 Sounds like you broke it. Get it together the best you can and trade it in on an M&P. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Micah Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 The G19 is a great all around pistol. Nothing broken here, just feed the damn thing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ParaGunner Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 After dry firing my G19 the firing pin rattles also ,which is normal because it's not under a lot of spring tension. Now when you pull the slide back it's cocked half way back and under spring pressure,it should not rattle,then as you pull on the trigger the firing pin is pulled back even more to full cock until it releases and fires.
