Is something wrong with my Glock 23?

[Jeffrock]

Hey guys, I am a little confused as to something that is going on with my Glock 23.

I have a couple g23s as well as other Glocks, but this is the only one that is having this issue. All my other Glocks were purchased used, except for this g23, purchased new from Turners.

So, here is the deal: When releasing the trigger to the point of reset, on occasion (maybe after 1 or 2 rounds out of every 10 fired) I can see and feel the slide inching forward as I am letting the trigger out to the reset point. The slide creeps forward maybe a centimeter.

Is this normal? I have never experienced this with other Glocks. I have asked four people who know a heckuva lot more about Glocks than me. 2 have said it is no big deal in a new gun, and wait to see if it happens after 500 rounds. 2 other people say it is definitely not normal to happen, regardless if the gun is brand spankin new.

I have around 100 rounds of WWB and Fiocchi through it so far. Anyone else ever had this issue?

Sounds like the slide lock is installed backwards.

On Glocks, the striker spring is partially cocked when the slide returns to full battery, or lock up. When the trigger is pulled to its rear most position, it compresses the striker spring even more. The disconnector allows the trigger bar to rise and catch striker during the forward movement of the slide.

Sometimes, especially on a new gun that has not been broken in yet, or a gun that is not maintained, the additional spring pressure on the striker is enough to keep slide back a touch. I do not think it is a problem so long as the slide returns to full battery when the trigger is released. If pulling the trigger starts moving the slide rearward and unlocking the barrel, I would be very concerned.

That is def. not happening.

Thanks for the reply, it makes sense. I'll put it through a good workout and see if it clears itself up.
