Devastated.

Where are you located? It is a solid pin not a roll pin, and it is captured by the slide lock not jammed. You need some help for sure, but I wouldn't start worrying yet. Do not try to force that pin out. Watch youtube video for the technique.

Turlock CA. I tired to remove it by wiggling it and pushing but was unable to.

Same problem as this guy in this video https://youtu.be/ri1rSeha614

Did you break the gun down and inspect it before purchasing? Definitely a bad situation but how is it on the seller? I break a gun down, inspect it, check to make sure everything works before anything else. Every gun on here only has 50-200 rounds thru it, so take em apart and inspect them. It's a glock, it's not a complex design.

And did you read his update?

I am happy to say, this was NOT a factory Glock issue or quality concern. The cruciform was not put back in the slot correctly when the ghost trigger connector was put in by the previous owner. I admit, wish I would have caught this myself when taking out the ghost trigger connector for a factory trigger connector, but it did not. It was finally corrected by my friendly local Glock dealer for $5 Also see the link below for someone else that appears to have had the same problem and solution. (Have to treat these G43's and G42's a little differently in this respect https://www.ar15.com/archive/topic.h...160279

I would not be devastated unless the frame, barrel or slide was cracked. Everything else is simple, and cheap. It was probably assembled incorrectly at some point. No big deal, you will get this resolved.

That sucks....for sure. Was it someone on calguns? Good thing it can be fixed most certainly so be patient and if you need to take it to a good smith. That does suck that happened though! Good luck fixing it hope your back up and running shortly

I would question the validity of the gun more than anything now, I suggest you put the serial into the stolen gun database to see if it is stolen or not. The fact that he used a burner number just threw up a billion red flags for me.

I'm sure the DROS would NEVER catch something like a stolen gun

I did and so did the ffl. Everything looked fine. I mean with its simplicity you'd think it would be right? No cracks or starches everything looked in place.

IIRC DROS will only check the background of the buyer/seller(incase buyer was denied), DROS does not check if the gun is stolen or not.

Not 100% positive. That being said the guy has some balls to sell it via PPT, so it most likely is not stolen.

When buying used, watch a variety of videos to learn how to check a used firearm.....

I know it's after the fact, but too many people get Bit with a used Car or a used gun....

I know handguns are indeed checked, long guns I would imagine are but not certain.

seller probably had aftermarket trigger in it and installed OEM trigger wrong before selling it. Just put new trigger pack in. Glocks are simple to work on. youtube is your friend.

My advice is to relax. Sweet jebus. Only a drama queen could think he bought a known broken gun that was stolen by a fake LEO imposter via a PPT.

Sweet jebus.

Just throwing it out there....possibly an ammo failure?
