Picked up another G33 today as I liked my first one so much

However this time there seems to be an issue When racking slide (no mag or ammo) it will not go all the way into battery (see pic 1 below). I can get it to lock up but really have to slingshot it hard and even then it seems to hit and miss. If I ride the slide forward it feels like there is a hump or something it has to get passed (I know there is no hump just trying to describe the feeling )

I am kind of thinking it may be a issue with the RSA ? Thoughts or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Also (see pic 2) there is some odd (or seem odd to me) marks on the inside of the slide. Keep in mind this gun has not been fired (other than factory).

Thanks in advance.

Try just a tad bit of oil in the Rails, very little but it may help…

 

[G33IWB]

You think lube may be the issue? Even with all that copper funk all over everything lol.

 

[BLCKWLF]

Start with the smallest solution possible and work up, don't want to replace the whole gun yet. LOL

Could just need a good cleaning.

Could you post some pics of the frame? Side view, top view, etc?

 

[G33IWB]

Cleaned and oiled, and no change. Only thing that I can think of is that goofy looking RSA . This is the first Glock I have purchased with that newer style RSA.

@G33IWB...I have had essentially the same issue with my new G26 Gen4. I have not shot mine, so I am not at all worried yet. Just a bit perplexed given I never had this happen on my G23 Gen 3.

I plan to shoot mine in a couple of days. Let us know what happens after you shoot yours.

Edit: the funny thing is, at the gun store where I bought mine, a second G26 I looked at did the same thing. I think mine will be fine. Don't fret too much until after you shoot it.

On a side note...my slide shows the same marks on the inside.

Yeah not too worried, I did however call Glock this morning and the CS rep. stated it should go away after break in "however just to be safe I will send you a new RSA".

Like you I am just a little perplexed as this currently my 4th Glock in my collection and probably the 15th Glock I have purchased new and none of the others had this or any issue that "should go away after break in".

Just out of curiosity, does your G26 have the 0 8 1 RSA?

I called Glock just prior to reading your reply...lol

As soon as I told the rep what was happening, he told me he would send a new RSA.

He said I was good to shoot it until then.

I will have to check the RSA number.

 

[G33IWB]

I am interested to see if they send another 0 8 1. The guy I spoke with didn't sound to surprised by what I was telling him, maybe he had just got off the phone with you lol.

I asked if they had issued with the RSAs and he stopped way short of saying there was, but I wasn't going to press the issue. Especially since he was already sending me a new one.

 

[hps]

It's ur rsa call glock

 

[GunnerGSP]

It's ur rsa call glock

Thanks hps. If you read a few posts above, you'll see we already have.

RSAs are on their way from Glock.

BTW, welcome to the forum...

...Just out of curiosity, does your G26 have the 0 8 1 RSA?

0 8 1 - yes

 

[G33IWB]

0 8 1 - yes

Interesting, I did read some place about some spring issues however thought it was the (0 8) batch and thought the (0 8 1) was the new design to fix the issue.

Guess we will find out when the new springs arrive.

 

[GunnerGSP]

Glock told me to look for it in about 10 business days.

I will update this thread or PM you when I get it and test it out.

P.S. Not trying to hijack your thread...

 

[G33IWB]

Lol no worries and sounds good. I will do the same.

 

[GunnerGSP]

Just got home from a long weekend away and found my new RSA waiting for me on the front porch. I popped it in my G26 and racked the slide several times, by slingshot and walking it in. She seems to work just fine and has yet to fail going into battery.

 

[G33IWB]

Is it another 0 8 1 ? Also was it shipped USPS?

 

[GunnerGSP]

Another 0 8 1...it was shipped via FedEx Ground.

Did you get yours yet? I'm guessing you haven't.
