    I have a gen 4 glock 23.I had a problem getting the slide back on with that bump at first. All you have to do is give it some muscle though and it slides right on no problem. I had a couple failure to ejects the first 200 rounds but since then I have had no problems.

      The connectors on the Gen4's are rotated 5 degrees counter-clockwise (when looking at the connector) which gives it a slightly heavier trigger pull because the angle that the trigger bar needs to overcome has increased.

        Not worth smoothing that bump with a file?

            I have handled quite a few Gen4 Glocks and broken them down. Nonissue.

            Noobs should never ever take a file or Dremel to a new gun that's already been tested at the factory.

            The chance the gun is bad from the factory is very SMALL.

            The chance the noob will f*** up something he doesn't understand is HUGE.

              That grinding on the slide has to be causing something. Metal grinding cause more pressure inside so I believe it did add to the trigger pull.

                Might be better to swap it out with a Gen3 trigger w/trigger bar if you really don't want the bump on the vertical extension present.

                  The GLOCK Gen 4 is the "new Coke" of guns. Instead of redesigning the frame, we get a add on that looks like just that.

                              Don't listen to that guy. After a few hundred rounds the trigger breaks in and is 5.5#'s, I can't wait to get mine in my hands and take it to the range.
