Hey just had a question about

[inspectorjj]

It doesn't sound like a major problem. Photos with the slide on from a side view and photos of the rails with the slide off would help.

Tip: Don't let others disassemble/reassemble your firearms unless you are 100% confident in their mechanical aptitude. Have you performed a field strip and reassembly since this occurred?

[al8550]

yes, when I cleaned it.

[inspectorjj]

According to the photos, the rails might be up a little. If that is the problem, a local smith will probably fix that for you for about 25 bucks. There is supposed to be little room between the slide and the frame but it should not be enough to make the gun physically rattle.

Or it looks like your recoil spring is not correctly seated on the barrel ramp.

The upper does rattle, I'll definitely need to take it in then, thanks inspectorjj, but I'll double check the recoil spring. Thanks again

Where are you located OP? I can take a look at it. I really doubt those rails were bent. Almost unheard of. The slide should have a small amount of lateral/fore&aft play. The way that those rail segments are molded into the polymer, you would be able to tell if they were actually "bent" as there would be an obvious misalignment between the polymer & steel (and possibly cracking). The recoil spring is seated just fine in the pics, by the way. It actually takes a tremendous amount of force to tweak those rails.

My Glocks rattle...

Looks like the front rails were bent a little. You can try bending them down yourself or take it to a Gunsmith.

If you're in OC any time soon shoot me a PM, I'll look at it and we can compare my G20 to yours.

Will do thanks for the offer

It kinda looks like the rear rails were impacted.

I will take a pic of my frame if no one has yet.

As others have stated DON'T LET OTHERS ASSEMBLE YOUR WEAPON.

EDIT:

I see you mis-quoted that.

I'll post a pic of my glock when the batteries are done .

Two things, never let your cousin touch your weapon again. Second, is your cousin superman? I couldn't even begin to attempt doing this to my G20!

my cousin was assembling my G20 and slid the upper on the front two rails but missed the last two as he cocked it back. The gun was jammed in that position but I was able to take it apart.
