Possible problem? Need input!

Mine rattles with the slide back or before a round is in the chamber which is normal.

 

Min does this as well I asked my dealer and he said it is the hammer sliding back and forth. It won't do. It when you put a round in the chamber due to pressure on the hammer. I hope this helps.

 

here's a detailed explanation. it's completely normal.......

lmao good one

 

My glocks hammer must be invisible then. lol

 

Lol nice one...

 

Dude's slide in that video is FILTHY!

 

amazing what HD will bring out isn't i? i've taken high rez pics of slides i just cleaned, that looked clean but after taking a pic i could see all kinds of gunk.

 

The fact that your Gen3 doesn't rattle as much is an indication that the striker channel could stand to be cleaned.

 

Ok dude seriously how many ways do u want to hear that its normal. Multiple times in multiple threads what more do u want its normal.

 

I would accept it when the opinions and evidence was overwhelmingly given to me

 

I know I was a hell of a lot more confident in the operation of my Glock once I detail stripped it. You would be more confident in a diagnosis if you knew, first hand, exactly what was going on inside the slide and frame.

If you are somewhat mechanically inclined, you can learn how to detail strip it in an hour from youtube videos. There are a couple tricky parts, but nothing all that complicated. All you need is a clean workspace and a punch.

 

It is absolutely. Like I said above, though, you should look for Youtube videos, if necessary, to remove the striker on your Gen3 and clean the striker channel. Crap can build up in there and eventually start causing light primer strikes or a complete failure to fire. It comes from using too much lube on the slide. I forget which gun it was, but I took one of mine over to Glock and the armorer cleaned it thoroughly and told me to back down on the lube.

Glocks have a partially cocked striker, so there's no pressure holding it still. That's why it rattles. The rattle means it's moving freely in the striker channel, which is a very good thing!

 

I just noticed one of my post in this thread is gone. It's still quoted in another post. I'm trying to figure out what with in the content of it warranted it getting deleted.........amazing after seeing some of the other down right rude and flamatory stuff on here.

Oh well

 

They took out us picking on the hammer thing. My comic is gone too lol
