Glock "Perfection"

[frank linkh]

Good idea, start beating on it and if that doesn't work get a bigger hammer. Just like they do it in grade school.

I'll give you $50 and gladly take that piece of garbage of your hands....

Don't listen to him, I'll give you $100 and two boxes of 9mm!

I said tap, not beat. Your post is not only unhelpful but unnecessary.

Good evening entertainment.

Good evening entertainment.

I can't wait until you have a problem with one of your guns and come here looking for help. I'll make sure to post nonsense for my own entertainment.

I think you should gently figure out how to get slide off. Inspect the recoil spring assembly. If it's not OEM then get an OEM. If it is, check the end that seats against barrel. Make sure it's not all dented and dinged up. If it isn't, then last thing would be to ensure it's seated in correct notch on barrel. It's easy to put it on the wrong spot. I've done it and had situations like yours. Good luck!

Thinking aloud here, not owning any Glocks (they're fine handguns).

Could one use a cut down dowel of the correct diameter?

Set said cut down down dowel on a STURDY bench, then re-compress that spring?

Mayhaps jogging a portion of it so it won't pop rite back out?

Then proceed with re-take down?

This gun doesn't have that kind of guide rod. It's a dual layer steel spring.

The guide rod should have no way of sticking out of the hole in the slide like that. I've seen a few botched reassemblies but not that one.
Cut the stop/knob of the guide rod off? It's plastic, should be easy. Just spitballing here.....

Ok, clearly @Bushman is serious. So I shall give you $100, two boxes of 9mm, three Remington Thunderbolt rounds that have been rolling around on the floorboard of my car since last winter and dollop of freshly harvested lent from my bellybutton. That is my final offer though!

This is kind of what my 320 did where some how managed to pop out of the housing in the slide to which all SIG did was put a washer at the end or as they called it "retainer nut". Only mine wasn't completely locked up like that. I'd say cut the end and just buy a new OEM spring to put in it then double check for any non OEM parts last owner may have swapped out with.

That is what I would do and was suggested to the OP, earlier in this thread. There are plenty of worse ways to F up a gun, not the end of the world and RSA's are not all that expensive to replace.

Can you take tenistion off the jammed up parts and pull the trigger to get the block out from under the barrel. From the side view the trigger looks way too far forward to me.

When this happened the first time it corrected by playing with it so I grabbed a brand new guide rod I had here for my G48. When placing it in the correct half-moon slot and then in the gun it came out of place AFTER it was reassembled from racking it so this is not user error and both guide rods fit the same. No matter how I reassembled it, when taking the slide off the guide rod assembly just fell out of the gun on it's own (which happened several times as I was trying to recreate the issue since I saw it the first time because it made me nervous and wanted to know how bad it was). Right now even if I get it apart it appears to be a complete POS. I bought this because I need a gun this size (not for fun, I needed this) and was just offered a new job yesterday so I spent my savings to celebrate to get what I needed. This is embarrassing.

Well you could call Glock on Monday and see what they say. You could also contact @Velzey and pick his brain.

Where are you located? Asking to see if there are any of us close to you to maybe try and help......

I called and missed them (east coast) so I emailed with a picture and we're in holding pattern for now.

For now it's a paperweight. I will just wait for Glock and I have also been out to Estcada to have work done by everyones favorite gunsmith so I might go that route too. Thanks

Man that sucks . Since it sounds like you've made sure to assemble it correctly I'm wondering if you have a bum barrel.
