Ow do I test barrel to frame lockup on a pistol?

 

[Tape]

press on the barrel hood, it should not move

 

[NvRBanArms]

Sorry, what is the barrel hood? The top of the chamber when it is in battery???

 

[nukinfuts29]

its the very top of the barrel as seen when the slide is closed.

My sig barely moves when I push it down, but my almost new glock 21 moves like crazy. Is that bad????

 

[nukinfuts29]

it's normal for the barrel to move some when the gun is not cocked.

Describe "like crazy". Is it a factory barrel? Any modifications to the gun? How old is the gun?

 

[NvRBanArms]

All factory. Brand new. I shot great with it. I figured out though, if I hold the slide in place so it doesn't move back at all then the barrel chamber won't move around at all. So I think it was just the slide going back a very tiny bit and allowing the barrel to move.

 

[nukinfuts29]

yea i think we got to the bottom of that mystery on the phone

 

[NvRBanArms]

But my main concern was the sig. As the slide is locked back, I can move the barrel back forth up down in out and even twist it a little. it just seems like it is allowed to move too much. Don't know for sure though. An the guide rod also can be moved a lot while the slide is locked back. Wish I could post a video.

While the slide is locked back? Of course there's going to be movement, because the action isn't locked.
