I've read hundreds of posts about some of the problems that the 30SF has had before I bought mine. Two things stuck out immediately.
1. There is no way that the trigger bar can rub on the slide enough to hinder it. Any doubts, put the slide against your forehead and fire and let us know if you think it's recoiling hard enough. The 1/4" or so of space on the side that activated the firing pin safety does not have enough surface area or rigidity to stop the slide. With the slide removed, pull on the trigger some more and you'll see the trigger bar flex. 2. There is no way that the trigger bar in a PROPERLY assembled pistol will ride so high as to allow the whole lenght of the trigger bar to impede the slide. 3. There is no way that the rear rails can be so low as to hinder the movement of the slide or allow the slide to contact the trigger bar. The slide would not even go on. The slide practically rides the frame as is. Some have mentioned severe gouging on the underside of the slide where it would travel over the ejector. Has ANYONE looked to see if the trigger housing is the proper one (8196-2)??? Has ANYONE checked to see if a trigger housing from a non-.45ACP Glock could mistakingly be put in a 21 or 30 frame??? There are two things that I can see that would cause wear on the trigger bar and slide. The trigger housing pin hole is put in too high making it sit too high and causing contact with the ejector and trigger bar. Or a completely wrong trigger housing has been installed. I can see the ejector with its sharp point grinding into the bottom of the slide enough to slow it down as to cause a FTRB and making the slide hard to rack. As to not being physically able to load magazines and seat them are issues beyond the scope of a forum. I bought a lightly used Blue Label G30SF (MTFxxx) and inspected it to see if it had the tell-tale signs of a trigger housing out of spec. I compared the numbers on the TB (4256-1) and the ejector(8196-2) to see that they matched what was in my G21SF. They were correct and no signs of a TB or ejector riding too high. Functions fabulously!!!!! If the trigger housing is the proper number then the retaing pin hole is drilled too high on the back of the frame and the only fix is a new frame. An improper trigger housing (If it is even possible to put a wrong one in, I have no way to test) can easily be swapped out in about 5 minutes. A new trigger housing is $5.00 from GT Distributors. I'm lucky enough to be in Austin that has a very large GT Distributors store. Seems too me even ordering one would be quicker than dealing with Glock and the weeks even months wasted. (A friend of mine had a G21SF with the stubborn redesigned ambi-mag release. Instead of making a Youtube video and screaming over the phone at the CS at Glock, he ordered the 3 parts which were of the early issue variety and installed them. Voila.) Does this make sense to anyone out there? Or was I one of the "LUCKY ONES" as someone posted???? |
