glock slide not completely snapping on

[The Fugitive]

Hey guys, I bought an aftermarket slide for my g19 gen 3 and it would not snap on completely unless I put the glock into an unfired forward position. Is this normal? I function test it and seems to be okay. Just wanted to double check as my other aftermarket slide and original slide snaps on without any problems.

That happened when I put a 3.5 connector in my glock 20. Idk why it happens. But didn't affect reliability at all

If you do some searching you will find this can happen. There are a few things that can cause this problem. Generally a close tolerance in fitting.

Umm, I never install a Glock slide onto a frame that has the trigger set forward. The slide comes off and goes back on with the trigger in a fired position. Could that be the problem for you?

That's weird. Slide can't be taken off the frame unless the trigger is in the rear (fired position).

Failure with an “imposter part?” You don’t say!

Impossible.

...how about “generally using an inferior aftermarket part on a perfectly working G19.”

OP, how ‘bout you put that factory G19 slide back on your factory G19 lower and have a reliably working firearm once again?

No fair stating the obvious...

Friends don't let friends Gucci their Glock.
