So I've got a Gen 2 Glock 23 that's been passed around several friends and myself, most recently ended up in my possession. I decided to send the slide in to have new Glock night sites installed and get the slide rebuilt. While it was there, James (great guy) recommended I send the whole pistol in to be looked over due to the age of the gun (October 1995).

Fastfoward to today and get a call from them. Turns out the frame was cracked by the locking block and would only get worse. Getting a brand new Gen 3 frame and a new to me Glock box. Only down side is that the frame won't match the slide but beggars can't be choosers

I know there have been a lot of posts lately concerning Gen 2 Glock 23s so if you have one, might consider sending it in to have it looked over and rebuilt. Only costs for shipping and if you want night sites installed, I'm sitting around $100 for all of it (that includes night sites installed, slide rebuilt, and frame rebuilt with new parts but I'm getting a new frame due to the crack)

Glock never once asked if I was the original owner or what type of ammunition I fired. This just made me a harder die hard Glock fan boy

Yup they're great, I picked up a g17g4 that was stippled excessively and got it swapped out for a fully built new g4 frame and new box and cleaning brushes.

Gave me 2 mags when my G19 was replaced.

Having a warranty and it being worth a damn are 2 different things. This post is one reason I will never ditch my glocks. Great knowing IF I have major issues that they will take care if me.

I was honestly surprised, considering the fact we hadn't long ago been shooting the pistol with no problems whatsoever. I was worried about the cost of having to pay for a new frame, until they told me it would be replaced for free under warranty.

When I asked if I could buy a new flock box cause my other got lost, they told me they couldn't sell me one but would give me one that was off the factory line.

I'm slowly moving all my handguns save two to Glocks, they will be getting all my money

Lucked up on a Gen 1 17 a year ago. Took it home and it shot terrible. Knew something was wrong. Took it to Glock. They said the frame was cracked and was causing the poor accuracy. They offered to Re-shoe the old G17 free of charge and mail it back to me for free. I begrudgingly accepted, I wanted to keep my old pebble grip frame. It arrived back to me with in the week.

I have had Glock put night sights on 3 of my guns and fix my G17 and I have always had wonderful experiences with them every-time.

They installed nights sights on my G42, I believe I was one of the first ones to have this done.
