Bought a Gen 5 17 a couple weeks ago, took it home, disassembled it to inspect, all good.
While sliding the slide back on, it would stop just before completion. I tried to slide it back on what seemed like 50 times before eventually getting the slide completely locked up on the rails, half on half off. Now i couldn’t remove the slide at all.
Furious, I drove to a local gunsmith, he was able to pop the slide of in about 10 seconds. He then tried to reassemble it and had the same issue I did. He said it shouldn’t be doing that and offered to try to figure it out but it’ll be 3 weeks. I said hell no I just bought this thing today, if it’s jacked up it’s going right back to Glock.
So I took it back to the gun store. Told them the issue, said it needs to go back to Glock. They off course take a look at it, disassemble and reassemble it the first try and make me look like a total idiot. They then repeated the process a few more times.
I said give me that damn thing. So I tried it and it went back on without an issue. I stood there and repeated the process about 20 times in a row just to make sure before I left again with zero problems. I said whatever maybe it all was just too tight or something. Went home, racked the slide a fair amount, disassembled and reassembled a few more times and everything went fine.
Fired its first 200 rounds yesterday. Today I cleaned and lubed it and upon reassembly, its doing the same damn thing again getting hung up.
It stops right here and won’t go any further.
Any suggestions?
