| well i had a first batch g42 that had the lock back with rounds still in the mag...sold it,didnt want to deal with glock cs....so some time passed,i heard the second revision was gtg bought another one,!same problem!!slide lock back with rounds remaining in mag!!pissed!....i did put a vickers extended slide release in the gun,but seriously cant see that causing a issue...any suggestions? |

Since the grip is so small are you sure you aren't pushing the slide stop up when you grip it? I had the same issue thinking it was the gun but it was me all along. I now put the flush slide stop in any Glocks that come with the extended ones for this reason.
Are you sure you installed the new slide stop correctly? If you don't get the spring tip under the pin the recoil from the gun will jar the slide stop up and occasionally catch the slide. (No offense meant if you have already ruled out both of the above. I've done them both so I'm speaking from experience and I thouhght I knew enough about Glocks  )

| Don't give up on the gun. I purchased 1 a few weeks ago and it has all the newest revisions. I had all kinds of issues until the gun had a little break in period. After 200 rounds it runs like a glock 19 now. Before, had all kinds of jams & failure to feed. I also had to change my grip because I kept riding the slide stop lever and keeping the gun from locking open after the last round. Just keep shooting it & hopefully it will work it self out. |

I can't make myself buy a new Glock, anymore. I used to buy one, and it was always good to go. Me too! But, then again, I have never purchased any Glock pistol that I could honestly say was, 'good-to-go'. I've had to work, extensively, on all of them and replace various parts before they became genuinely reliable. Neither would I describe my present, 'BTF' Glock Model 19 as being 100% reliable. This is how Glock, GmbH/Inc. has always done things: The almighty American dollar comes first, and the not-so-mighty American customer comes in a distant second. Sometimes I'm amazed at what some fools are willing to accept! The people who own Glocks pistols and repeatedly tolerate all of these incessant Glock performance snafus seem to be THE MOST FORGIVING CUSTOMERS IN THE WHOLE WIDE WORLD! (I'm starting to suspect that Gaston pays for airtime on the international HAARP radio network.) 
Want to have a little fun? The next time you read one of these Glock complaint threads substitute the acronym, 'BMW' for the word, 'Glock'. Then reread the complaint and see how ridiculous many of the replies are!

| I had the same problem with my new g42 today. The slide locked back about 4 times in my first 100 rounds. Shooting thumbs forward will not work for my big hands. Single handed shooting, both right and left, was perfect. I tried to recreate the malfunction, and sure enough...slide lock first try! After realizing my thumb was directly under the slide lock, I changed my grip and ran another 100 rounds w/o issue. I probably won't use the g42 as my primary bug. I would not like to make a conscientious effort to have a perfect thumb placement under stress. YMMV. |

Love this gun. The LCP goes for sale tomorrow. Will end up being a good deal for someone. I never shot it past the first 2 mags. |

Then reread the complaint and see how ridiculous many of the replies are! Although it does seem a lot have problems with Glock right out of the box there are also many of us that do not. I purchased a G42 after they started stamping the "1" in the frame...I shot 650 rounds through that pistol without a single failure even though I've read many reported problems. I purchased a G43 to replace the G42 since I was never a fan of .380 for it's power or price...so far I've shot 250 through the G43 and haven't had a single failure G17 .....1k+ had a couple rounds of Wolf that wouldn't fire ...second strike still no fire...ammo????? G19,G22,G23....all 1K+ no failures G30 ....200+ no failures G31.... 300 ..4 failures caused by ammo....local reman ammo place and 4 rounds did not seat correctly now only my handloads for this one. I had one G19 I bought in the 90's that shot like crap, I shot thousands of rounds through it and couldn't hold a 8" group at 15 yards with it....saw 2 Glock armorers and they didn't see a thing wrong with it...then I saw a third Glock armorer that actually fired it and he couldn't keep on a fullsize paper target at 10 about 10 yards but he also couldn't see what was wrong with it...I tried a LWD match barrel and still no dice.....I said enough is enough after at least 10 yrs and traded it off. I'm a bit stubborn I guess
I've owned a lot of Glocks over the years and really only had issues with one of them, I shoot quite often and rarely ever clean my Glocks....so there are some good ones out there but apparently Glock saves all the good ones to ship to us yankees....lol |

I would not like to make a conscientious effort to have a perfect thumb placement under stress. YMMV. I had the same problem with all of my Glocks. I have very large hands. I ended up changing my grip also. Instead of both thumbs forward, my strong hand thumb now grips the outside base of my weak hand thumb. No more issues. The new grip also removed the slide bite I was experiencing with the original grip. |

Then reread the complaint and see how ridiculous many of the replies are! That's kinda strange, I have purchased eleven Glocks over the years. All have performed flawlessly. The only issue I have had is the finish on the last few is not very durable. I guess I have been lucky. |
