would you really carry a gun you havent fired?

i would not. period.

this is a perfect example why, what if it hadnt broke before you loaded it and strapped it on? then you need the firearm to save your life and it goes click, but not bang.

cant help you with parts, sorry

[glock21]

There's only one pin that holds the slide stop lever in place. It's the same pin that holds the trigger in place. It's a serious PITA to get that pin out and back in, so if it "just fell out" I would be highly suspicious of the integrity of the parts associated with that hole: The frame, the lock block, the slide stop, and the pin itself.

It sounds to me someone got overzealous with a hammer during a reassembly. If the hole in the frame is boogered beyond retaining the pin, your frame has to be replaced. All the other parts are replacable at moderate cost, but the pin and block are rare to have on hand by even a unusually prepared glock shooter.

Please tell me you are not using this firearm as a duty weapon.

If you're with Denver PD (don't know if they got the 40's approved yet or not), have Brad look at it for you. It could be one of the simple parts, and he could have it running in less than 30 minutes. I suspect he has extra parts.

No pd I do security on the. side ay night clubs

I got the gun fixed by the glock armores were i got it from, they replaced the pin and some springs. The gun shoots great, thanks

[glock21]

The young guy at Neves is a really good Armorer and will take really good care of your glock. He usually just needs to charge for parts in my experience. He has taught me a lot and will usually show you the problem, how to fix it on your own if possible, and let you have your old parts.

Neves only pretty much has bankers hours though

yea his name is gary, thats the only place ill buy from if im doing ffl ive been going there for 7 years now. those guys are great and if your not happy they will make it better

What did they say happened? If the pin slid right out I would assume the holes in the frame had opened up. Was it the wrong pin?

[glock21]

I didn't ask why it fell out. They did say that the pin was broke in half and one piece wad already missing. They checked the holes and they were not damaged, the new pin was snug and tight going in to the frame. I ran a couple hundred rounds thru it and feels new. So I'm happy, this experience won't keep me from buying used again. I'm just more careful now.
