I replaced my Gen 2 G17 frame with a Gen 3 early this summer. Since Glock is located about an hour and a half's drive from home, I was able to drive over one afternoon & do the deal, and the face-to-face swap was drama-free. To upgrade via mail you'll probably want to call Glock Technical Services at (770) 432-1202. The person I spoke with there was quite helpful.

I called them today and talked to a gentleman named Austin about it. I might want to call him back if it is possible to get a MOS cut on the new gen three slide. My only other question is about the slide finish on the new gen three. I know that my Gen 2 has tenifer finish that is very strong, I don't want to have to end up refinishing the new 17 slide in six month like I did with my 19. |

I had my 21 SF frame replaced... I bought it not long after that model came out, with the ambi mag releases (that would occasionally fall apart).
Some states you are able to get a direct replacement, some you have to have a new 4473 for. |

I had the frame replaced on a Glock 30. When I took it in for service at the factory, Glock said the frame had been damaged. They were great and easy to deal with.

I just mailed a G22 Gen 2 frame in for update. Waiting to see how long it will take to receive the new one. I hear they will mail it directly to my home. FYI don't try to use UPS to mail any firearms related parts. They will refuse to do it. They just lost my business. I am using FedEx from now on. Cost $100 and return shipping is on them. |

They will ship to my house directly, no FFL involvement. |

I have had them replace one frame at the factory. It was a Gen2 17 that I acquired with a ruined frame for dirt cheap. $100 and about an hour later I had a brand new Gen3 lower and was on my way. Great customer service.

Fill out the warranty form, put in a box and shipped it to them FedEx ground for $10. Stripped it of all parts. Sent stripped frame in. Weighed about .5 lbs. |

I just sent my GLOCK off to get the frame and the slide internals replaced. The only shipping options were Next Day and Two Day. I picked two-day because it was cheaper.

so did they swap your serial # plate or do you have a new S/N?
PS* you really shouldn't have sent that frame via FedEx ground, but oh well. One Rate FedEx probably would've been okay though. |

Yes brand new serial number. There are no laws that say you can't ship ground. Just company policies. FFLs ship ground all the time. If you want to by all means ship air and pay $60. |

Hey, I could care less. I think the law is stupid, but yes, there is laws that say you (not an FFL) cannot ship via ground. FFL's can even use USPS Priority. Regular folks cannot. |

No, you only violated policy, not law. The law says common carriers (UPS & Fedex) must be used for handguns from private shippers. It doesn't mandate the method of shipping.. Those common carriers are the ones that saying overnight only. Any loss/damage claim probably wouldn't get paid if you choose to break policy. |

I got mine back from GLOCK today. The sent the old sights back which is strange because I don't want them anymore. The slide is still the same with the Austrian Proof mark.
I'm Happy
