so... do all Glocks do that?

[Ubermcoupe]

Did you get your gsg?

Tomorrow, right after work. Ran out of time today. Range trip next tuesday, unless I magically end up there before then. Everytime I see those Gen4's they get sweeter and sweeter...

Incorrect. His firing pin position is normal. Please don't spread FUD.

again, thank you for clarification.

waiting for the report

and get one ! I know you already have like 5 green gen3s, but gen4 is honestly so much better. Well, it's my opinion though lol

When I did my last OD PPT @ VA the guy was showing me a duracoated gen4... I fondled that thing the entire time I was doing paperwork LOL. When are you taking that thing out?

what kind of paint job did it have?

I'm taking it out tomorrow, gonna go shoot it with a friend of mine. 250 rounds should breaking it some. The slide release is really tough to press down lol

The G19 was DC'ed FDE (not really the green I love so much, but different). My new Glock slide releases were always tough, so much that my 27 took many rounds before I could leverage it. I usually ended up just racking the slide(normally do that anyways).

250 rds sounds like fun. That's usually about the round count where I either blister or run out of ammo

Do you have more mags? I recommend a Lula loader, especially helps with new "stiff" mags.

Well, I got three. Two of them are permanently blocked 17 round mags(it's CA legal), and one rebuild kit sitting in my closet. I might sell it and buy just standard 10 round mag.
Surprisingly, it's not that hard to load the mags, I think maybe because they used to be 17, now they're 10.

Ahh, I see. Have fun tomorrow, make sure you have your camera guy take plenty of pictures and charge that battery tonight! Im off. I expect a range report ASAP tomorrow! LOL. Congrats once again, I know you've been after that thing for awhile.

My G26 does that, but it is somewhat unique to Glock, maybe some other striker-fired pistols, but the XD does not do that.

Thanks bud, I sure will

thank you for the input

Using snap caps next time will solve this problem.

It's not even a problem.

I dry fired it, then pulled back the slide and saw the firing pin
I field stripped it as well, and the firing pin was sticking out as well. I don't have much experience with striker fired pistols, so is this normal?

Not to worry.. its normal. Just to clarify my gen 4 G19 does the same thing.

[GuillermoAntonio]

lol yep
she's a beauty, and loving it so far. Been dry firing and getting familiar with the grip. Even thinking about using it for HD after breaking it in.

Did you get your gsg?

Ugly gun!
hahaha

Totally normal.

That "silver disk" just behind the breech face is your firing pin stop plunger. You press that in and rattle the slide, you should hear your firing pin moving back and forth. If you press it in with your finger and push the fp forward, you should see the tip of the fp comming out of the breech face as you show in your photo.
