ok i bought a NIB glock 23 about a year ago, and i have never had any kind of problem with it... after about 600 rds i am noticing a slight movement with the slide, it just feel a tad bit loose on the frame, also when i first bought it, i heard a clicking noise when i would shake the gun, i was told this was normal with glocks, i dont hear that anymore... i would appreciate any advice here thanks |
I noticed the same problem with my Glock 23. About 10 years ago... Mark. |
Typically a Glock isn't going to have a rock solid and immovable slide to frame fit. There is always going to be some play in the fit between the frame and the slide. If you are used to the slide to frame fit of custom 1911s or similar weapons the Glock may feel "sloppy", but in reality it is just fine.
The noise you hear when you shake the Glock should only be there when the trigger has been pulled....what you are hearing is the striker moving freely in the channel because it is not under any spring tension. Nothing you have said gives me any cause for concern. The issues you mention aren't something that is going to adversely effect the performance of your pistol and shouldn't be a source of worry to you. Hope this answer helps! |
dude i had a question that i wasnt sure if this ACTUAL issue would interfere with the reliability of the gun... so it was an issue to me.. i didnt need the smart ass comment |
thank you man,,, you answerd all my questions... its nice to kno that there are still people on here that actually will take time to help people. |

No lube in the striker channel. Bone dry. Really. There's also "mag rattle" ; some of my G23 mags rattle, some don't. As the internal geometry of the rounds in the mag changes slightly when fully seated it may cause a slight "gap", which leads to mag rattle. Nothing to worry about. |
if some lub accidentally got into the striker channel, how can i get it out... or is it that big of a deal? |
You can clean the whole striker channel and assembly. Remove the retainer on the back of the slide by pushing down on the plastic keeper in the striker channel and slide the retainer out carfully. then clean away! You can probably find exellent picts and help over on glocktalk.com Mark. |
