Wow, yes, obviously cracked breechface, didn't know this was occurring in new ones.
Obviously Glock will fix these, once sent in...............kinda bullshit though, when I've got a 20 year old G17, with an untold thousands of rounds through it, breechface slightly battered (characteristic of high round count, not a problem), but sure as hell no cracks. |

I am a huge GLOCK pistol fan, but my gut feeling is the company is starting to "shit in their nest".
Just seems like a bunch of bullshit lately. Will stay a fan but I have NO plans on buying another GLOCK for a while. Just personal preferance. Why could'nt they just leave the best damn fighting pistol on earth the fuck alone.

My G26 (NNB) has this extractor cut out so does my G21 (KEW). But when I looked at my G17s (DWY) breach face, it does not have it. The 17 has the older extractor that is flat and not the newer "loaded chamber" notched extractor. The 17 is a third gen but does not have the cut out. I even cleaned it looking for it and never saw it.
Has anyone found another that does not have it? |

Quoted: Yeah, it could very easily be a shadow created by that deep machine mark. I jumped the gun for sure.  Still a shame to see such a mark though, that's not been characteristic of their work in years past. Don't know that it is a sign of less quality, Mine travels at the same exact point as the OP's which is in direct alignment with the extractor. Maybe Glock does this for a purpose we are unaware of? Just another way to add the the perfection? |

It's just a machine mark, and all this talk about Glock "going bad" is the same kind of stuff people say about how Chevy sucks blah blah blah but yet the Corvette has a very low PPh compared to other cars and will blow the doors off the "real" 'vette from the "good old days" without breaking a sweat.
All that being said, I am glad I have a Gen3. Why? I bought it used and I know the Gen 3's work. Not that the Gen 4's don't, but that I have something I trust, and that's all that matters as long as my trust is not placed ignorantly, and I don't feel that it is. Case closed for me. |

Just checked my austrian proofed 3rd gen glock 19 and sure enough lol.
It does appear to be a machine mark. stripped my glock and took some crapy photo's [lighting sucked] 
all that guys glocks may very well have the mark EDIT~ before someone asks the white thing on the slide was a peice of a peice or rice one of the girls left on my table that i missed while whiping it down and got on the slide for the photo's lol |
| It is a bevel that is put there during the machining process. It serves to control and determine the trajectory of the spent casing. Some Glocks have them some don't. If you compare serial numbers you will probably find all in a particular run have them. Some older Glocks may have this some newer Glock may have it. I'm sure there is a reason why some will and some won't. Only Glock knows. All my second gens have it. It is nothing to worry about. TXPO |

Read the thread linked in the first post folks. It's a machining mark, not a crack. +1, clearly a machining mark......or maybe it is the reason that all Glocks will KABOOM. Machine mark with over head lighting. The not quite two year old Austo Proofed 19 I am currently wearing looks exactly the same. I actually took it out to look at the firing pin chamfer because I did not realize they were cut that way. The breach of my pistol is identical the pic in the OP, although it is dirtier, the firing pin chamfer and machine mark are both present. I am assuming its twin 19 in the safe is the same. Between the two of them several thousands of rounds have been fired uneventfully. |
