HELP: Functionality issue after Glock 25 cent trigger job

Another picture of the probable culprit.

Will do after I finished dinner.

Ok please let me know.

After a little research online, this is more common than we all think especially on gen 4 models as discussed in this thread: https://www.glockforum.com/threads/g...y-issue.45964/

Also discussed here: https://www.glocktalk.com/threads/re...gen-4.1608327/

Edit: Provided the link above, can you try disassembling the slide while the pistol is facing the ceiling and see if you encounter the same problem? Please confirm.

Damn, you went full 75 cent mod on that poor trigger.

Ok please let me know.

Tried it several times and couldn't replicate the issue. Also purposely moved the firing pin toward the rear then reassembled the slide and still no issue.

Thanks again. I assume you have a gen 3.

Thanks again. I assume you have a gen 3.

Yes. Based on the link provided, the issues were from Gen 4.

Your G19 is a Gen 3 correct?

Yes sir. Hopefully upon installing of the new parts everything will work as designed. Do you think my polished firing pin block thingy can be a cause as well?

The cause is pulling the slide too far back. In your own video at the beginning of the thread you couldn't reproduce the issue when you pulled the slide back by correct amount.

Seeing how you had difficulty grabbing onto the slide lock lever I would recommend for you to get an extended one.

In my opinion, all you have discovered is a quirk with reassembly if the slide is pulled too far to the rear for disassembly, as seems to be an issue for other people as well.

While pulling to the rear until the barrel unlocks from the slide gives you a "stop" point at which you start pulling the take down lever, there is no need to pull the slide that far to the rear.

The issue will not cause any problems with functionality of the gun and only presents itself during reassembly for you. Bottom line is that this issue is not something I would worry about since it can be easily avoided or resolved when needed.

From your posted picture, I don't believe you over polished your FPS.

[MosinVirus]

From your posted picture, I don't believe you over polished your FPS.

Neither do I, especially given that I rounded mine off and still not having any issues while reassembling.

[tbc]

I agree with MosinVirus. It's just nuisance.

OP, if you are in OC, I can meet you at a shooting range and inspect/test you G19 with you.

Same here. I rounded mine a lot more.

Believe me, I tried everything to include moving the slide back less than a cm.

On the video, gun may be facing down reason it worked as designed. Only way I can get it to function as designed, is when pointing down while removing the slide.

In regards to difficulty with the slide lever release, I broke my nails from all the troubleshooting. Now they are trimmed, I have no problem releasing the slide I was thinking of getting the extended release though. Would you recommend the flat or slanted version?

And OK, I'll try my best to not worry about it too much

But after all said and done, I like the stock trigger feeling eventhough heavier.

IMO, the polished parts make the trigger action feel like a toy in a way.

Again, this is only my opinion.

But then again, I’m shooting low and left with the stock trigger lol.
