Hey yall,
Having some issues with a slide I'm building for a poly 80 lower I just finished. Just got my trigger assembly from the guy who was doing a custom job for me, so I was putting it all together today.
I'm familiar with glocks. Had em for years and I know how to put slide together, etc. But this has me scratching my head. Hoping the collective brain of MDS can lend a hand.
So, basically I think my safety plunger isn't functioning properly.
When I have the slide off the frame, I do the safety plunger test where I press the plunger down and shake the slide back and forth. This firing pin should move freely. It doesn't. I can make it move by holding the safety plunger down and moving the firing pin by hand. It doesn't take force, so it doesn't feel likes it binding up on me. However it should move when I shake the slide with the plunger depressed, and it doesn't.
When I press the safety plunger down an oem glock slide I have it *might* take slightly less force than the new slide I'm building. Emphasis on might bc if it does take less force it is very very minute and it's so hard to tell I'm not sure it does take less force. And that glock has tens of thousands (not an exaggeration) through it. So if anything it might take less force because all of the use its seen.
I'm going to swap some parts out from other oem glocks and see if it'll work tomorrow, but was hoping someone might have some insight before I do.
