I just got my slide back from milling and refinishing yesterday. I put it back together and went to slap it on the frame and instantly started having issues. Started with being unable to rack the slide back to if I can get it back, the barrel follows the slide all the way back. This gun was bought new and instantly went off for work. I thought maybe someone here would have a tad more insight than i currently have. Any info is greatly appreciated. This problem also persists with the factory Glock barrel in as well.

Inspires confidence in the rest of the...... work...., huh? I was wondering how you could miss such a crucial part. I mean I get maybe a slide stop I have accidentally got my pistol all back together and notice "OH Crap!" I forgot to drop in the slide stop or forgot to get the slide stop spring set correctly but the LB..........? |
| I think what had happened was, when i took the stripped frame to the shop that did the frame work, that i didnt take out the locking block and it may have gotten lost in my truck. I had all the rest of the parts. Sadly I'll never know, that truck was traded in 2 days after i dropped it off. This can all be pinned on me, which is the best scenario. |

Locking blocks aren't that loose in the frame - my money is on the shop having it somewhere. |

When I read your dilemma and saw your pic, I wanted to  , but figured  was more appropriate.

I doubt it fell out in your truck, especially on a brand new gun. They are wedged in there pretty tight. |

This is why you dont fuck with glocks. People (the ones working on it) are the weakest link. Yeah that line of logic makes sense. It is TOTALLY the aftermarket work done to the gun that is causing the issue due to MISSING PARTS. I forgot how totally stock guns can never be missing parts. Good point.

it is totally possible to remove the trigger without removing the locking block. I've done it on my Gen4 G34 a number of times. Quoted:

I will say that I agree with everyone who has posted about the block not falling out.
Multiple Glocks, and have messed with em for years, I have never seen a loose or sloppy fitting block that could just fall out. If the frame was together when it went in, they owe you a block..free and clear. |

Not exactly necessary, but let's say for the sake of conversation you're on the crapper and wanna install some new part on your grip frame but you forget the tool to pop that block out. So, of course you pull open the vanity drawer's (the one's you can reach) looking through your wife's nail files and cosmetic's, of course there's nothing that'll work. That's how I found out the trigger will come out without the block being removed. Hope I painted that picture vividly enough. Oh, and a Q tip works fine for drifting the pins out. |
