So the gist of it is, I picked up a FDE gen3 19
And have over the past 4 months or so put around
Maybe 500-600 rounds through this gun. Around 3
Weeks ago I was teaching a class and was demonstrating
"Power stroking" when I noticed the slide felt funny, almost
Like it went too far forward. I racked it again and it felt fine.
So I got it home cleared it and sat racking it several times
And every so often noticed it did the same thing. This time
I decided to try something and pressed the trigger, the slide
Hit the floor...
So figuring it was the slide lock or slide lock spring I eventually
Ordered a factory replacement from glockmeister. It arrived
And installed without a problem, I did an initial function check
And fired around 20rds through no problem. While still at the range
I decided to "dry rack" it and it ended up doing the same thing
Like it would jump past the slide lock like I was trying to take it apart.
I have an older Austrian marked 19 and a new gen4 26 that I've
Been carrying instead that have been 100%. I was going to give glock a call sometime this
Coming week.
Has anyone had a similar or heard of something similar happening?
