So... Because the slide release lever hangs down ever so slightly, that means that the slide release lever spring is shot, even though it snaps back up? That is kinda confusing if you ask me. But if that is what fixes this thing, I'll be happy that it was at most an $11 in parts, for a good fix.

I'll keep you posted on what happens.

It shouldn't flop at all. I remember you changing the pins out but if it's the factory stop then it's best to replace from what you are describing.

Should I get just the replacement spring, or should I get the slide release lever w/spring?

I had this problem once when i reassembled my frame in the wrong order. larger diameter pin goes in first, this allows the spring to get pretension against the larger diameter pin when sliding the smaller diameter pin through the slide stop..

I didn't read the rest of the thread to see if this was covered or not.

The top pin sheared in half. I replaced the top pin, but the issue still keeps happening, so we are troublehooting it beyond the pin.

I would get the stop with spring. The spring has to be crimped in a precise way and isn't something I would even opt to do myself if I could avoid it.

The locking block in the frame might be loose too (egged out holes) so it wouldn't hurt to replace that too.

Just out of curiosity, is this a gen3 or gen4? Not sure how far you are from Taneytown, but Bob at Bollinger's is a master and could probably get to the bottom of this issue if it persists.

Gen 3. I'm going to do my best with it till all the easy stuff is done then hand it over for professional help.

As soon as Brownell's gets the bloody things back in stock I'll be grabbing one.

It may be your fault for getting a .40

I'm just razzin ya.

At least it was a Grock and not a Hi-Point in 40.

Hm, Numrich doesn't have any either. National back order?

Please, for the love of all that is holy, don't say that. I just want to get my Glock up and running again.

Don't think I want to go extended slide release for a HD/PD sidearm.

Good idea. I'm really curious what is causing these issues because my experiences with Glock have been nothing but positive. Please keep updated!

I think it all started when the small (top) pin sheared in half. No idea where the other half of the pin went, because it wasn't in the gun when I stripped it down at home for cleaning. I need to figure out why that small pin sheared in half though.

We put the Glock OEM extended slide stop release in most of the guns at work, and didn't have an issue. It does make it a bit easier to engage when you want to.

We also did the Glock OEM extended magazine release, but that did cause some issues with the magazines being released when placed in some holsters. The corners of the release also caused some shooters to get cuts on their hands. We filed down the release a bit and rounded the corners with a file, and it worked much better than the original standard or extended OEM configuration.

On your specific issue, have you verified that you put the slide stop & spring back in the correct order? Been awhile since I've done any real work on one, but I believe that the end of the spring needs to be below the upper pin.

If you are anywhere near White Marsh I have piles of stock Glock parts. If you are at all close to Freestate I'll bring parts and a couple extra Glock 22's to swap parts.

I'd hardly call the OEM Glock Extended release "extended" it's more like "size it should have been."

Here's the non-extended one: http://www.midwayusa.com/product/82...3-26-27-31-32-33-34-35-3-pin-model-steel-blue

Since DA is down, I'll finally come thru with a little :kicknuts:

There's that "Glock Perfection" I hear so much about...
