So im not thrilled

I don't get all the Glock hate here.

Because around here it's considered hip to bash Glocks and name drop guns that's likely pretty obscure to the avg. person. Most have never owned or even tried their gun so they can talk it up like its the greatest thing in the world. Because, how would they know or even have an opinion about it? Not one bit.

That's crazy. I have about 50 rounds thru mine and it's been flawless!





�� Ya I'm being sarcastic.

For that much money I would have spent it in an aftermarket slide especially after treating you like garbage.

Sorry to hear about your Glock OP. Definitely leaves a sour taste in your mouth. I just hope it doesn't happen to the 4 Glocks I have.

After all these years it has been discovered that Glocks are frail?

You let them accuse you and you took it and bought the slide? No way I would let them do that to me..your way to santacruz man

I've got 30k through my HK and it's just fine...

Demand speaking to his stateside supervisor. He's probably one of those international support guys located in India, with a troubleshooting list in front of him.

There's an epic thread on arfcom about pistol wear on high round count guns. In the part about Glocks and the slide cracking problem this was mentioned

The slides are cracking because they are made from re-sulfurized steel.

That type of steel is designed to be machined and leave chips instead of shavings.

The slide rails are very thin and the way cuts act as stress risers. The rear of the slide wants to come up when the gun cycles back into battery and that's what chips the bottom of the rails off.

In the past I have seen a long slide Glock break the rear frame rails off of the frame (twice in about 80-100K rounds).

Guns of all makes and model break. Anyone who has been on Internet forums since the 90's have seen slides, frames and parts break prematurely. Flaws get past QC and things break. It's extremely rare but they happen folks.
