Unexplainable damage

[Germ1]

Not related to your concern, just curious. Is the ejector bent or is it supposed to be like that? (I know nothing about Glock)

Supposed to be like that.

[Germ1]

How many rounds did you shoot through it? It look extra dirty in the mag well.

Like 4,000 now since a cleaning.
This picture doesn't really do it justice. It's much dirtier than it looks, doesn't show up well on camera. Look at the safety plunger, I polished it so it's usually shinny.

Pull the trigger on an empty chamber, lock slide to rear, you too can have a firing pin protruding.

what this guy said.

[Germ1]

I'm almost certain what pacmule said is the cause. Because we do drills that call for no magazine every time we shoot. Yesterday was no different.

[Germ1]

By any chance you had a failure to extract leaving the empty case in the chamber subsequently releasing the mag. When you rack the slide to clear the empty case did not eject or fall but ended ramming its mouth onto that area. Just a theory.

Possible, I've shot so much through this Block and cleared over a dozen malfunctions that I don't remember. There was no malfunctions yesterday.

[Germ1]

that's always an option ... if he prefers gunsmithing to shooting

Lol, I was trying to be civil in my response, but pretty much what this guy said.

Sell it and get a 1911! Then you won't have to worry about chipping a plastic frame.

then you just worry about your safety plunger tube staking coming loose instead

Insignificant wear. Normal. My Glocks all exhibit this. They are all running strong after 000's of rounds.

[sloppy joe]

That's a whole lot of rounds without cleaning.

[Germ1]

Took a class with a former DEVGRU guy last year. He recently posted on his IG that he recently went 7500 rounds on his G19 before cleaning.

I believe it. I'll be running my gun dirty for the foreseeable future, so maybe I'll get up there like him. I'm out of the sling but I'm looking at six months of recovery, so I won't be cleaning the gun any time soon. Run it till it won't run anymore.
