I just bought a new G-17 and I noticed that the slide rubs against the frame.  Went back to the gun shop I bought it from and there were several full size Glocks including a G-22 with the same issue.  Please see pics below and let me know if this is normal. I have seen many Glocks in the picutre thread that seem to to also touch the slide at the end of the frame and others where there is a much wider space between the slide and frame. What gives?? Should I send this pistol back to Glock?? Thanks in advance for your help.

It's pretty normal, in fact there's an unofficial title for it... Pig nose.... If it doesn't affect performance, and you don't care about it, then leave it and keep shooting. Glock will probably tell you there's no problem.
COSteve fixed his by dipping the snout of the pig into boiling water and tweaking it straight. |
| 100% normal. I have 20 glocks from 2nd gens to 3rd gens and most of them do this. It is not a problem and just a tiny bit of flex in the frame. That area flexes all over while firing. Look on You Tube for a high speed camera video and you will see what I mean. Shoot that gun with confidence! |
