Airsoft Canada - View Single Post - TM Gen 4 Glocks and their insatiable appetite for chewing up slides

I'm putting this out into the community to find out if I've been the only one out here experiencing this sad but true experience.

I bought the new TM Glock 17 Gen 4 and I must say, a beautiful pistol. I bought spare mags, treated it like any owner of a newly cherished pistol would and then the long record scratch, a moment of confused silence, the swiggity swooty bulging eyes and the low gutteral "noooo, wtf just happened"

The slide catch had a tendency to push outwards during firing and tear at the thin plastic area of the slide on the other side of the internal metal stop.

I though ok, this isn't good, my first Glock by the way. I love them in all shapes, sizes and models.

So I returned it, grabbed another brand new one.

I was nervous, scared to use it but I had to.

No bb's through it, backstrap was the only thing changed.

On the fifth trigger pull, dry firing, yup, did it again.

So I'm putting this out there to find out what other owners have experienced with the new Gen 4 Glocks and what, if anything has been done to solve this upsetting experience.
