I noticed on my new G19 Gen3 that when I go to put the slide back on the frame there is a "hang-up" on the Trigger Housing. In order to bring the slide fully back onto the frame I have to push the slide just a little to the left. I think it is the vertical piece on the Trigger Bar (depresses the Safety Plunger) that is bringing the slide just a little bit to the right causing the hang-up on the Trigger Housing just to the left on the Ejector.
Anyone else have this issue? A Glock gunsmith told me once that "some Glocks just do that". I don't like that explanation. Once the pistol is assembled there are no issues whatsoever. My G19 runs flawlessly so far. This is just a weird issue I encountered during reassembly.

Glocks don't exactly have a tight slide to frame fit. It looks like you have the slide rotated CCW relative to the frame. Straighten it out and it should slide right on. FWIW, I can duplicate that with both of my current G19s. I don't really see a problem. When the slide gets aligned with the rails the slide automatically gets "pushed" to the right slightly by the Trigger Bar like you see in the picture. |

Yeah mine will do that. Never noticed until now. Just pull straight back. Is that slide Cera-plated? This is a FailZero coated G19. Slide, barrel, ejector, extractor, slide release, and locking block all FailZero Nickel-Boron coated. No lube needed except for one drop where the trigger bar rubs against the connector. |

That's what FZ tells me. No problems so far. |
| The only critical lubrication point on a Glock is between the connector and trigger bar. The gun will run fine with the rails dry, (look at the tolerances). But if you let the connector go dry, eventually, it will gall and seize up any you WILL NOT be able to fire it or field strip it without removing the back plate on the slide. I saw this once as a department armorer. It was pretty impressive, you can pull the trigger hard enough to feel the trigger bar flex and it will not fire. One little drop of oil on the connector and it runs like new. |

I don't really know anything about the FZ treatment, so I'm sorry if this is a stupid question. But, I wonder if they could have applied the FZ treatment to the trigger bar and connector mating surfaces too? |

The guy I was in contact with is named Louis Rausch. Great guy and great customer service. |

Looks to me like its not riding on straight. All mine do it, just give it some light force in the direction it needs to go and it'll slide right on. Yeah, I had to "push" it to the left every so slightly and it would go on straight. Now that I replaced the Trigger Bar it goes on perfectly straight without any push every time. |
