So I made a simple but costly mistake. As I was disassembling my glock 17 in the garage the slide slipped out of my hands and hit the concrete floor. Stupid mistake but now I am left with a Glock slide with a bent recoil spring retaining tab. Lesson learned..
It is severely damaged and still functions well, but this makes me nervous about the structural integrity of the retaining tab now.
Has any one experienced a similar problem first hand? Or possibly have an extra glock 17 slide for sale?
I am trying to decide whether I should sell the gun for a discounted price and start new, buy a new slide, or just run this one.
