I am sending this out to let everyone know to send it to everyone they know. This is a huge officer safety issue for those agencies that carry the .45 Cal. Glock 21.
Mesa PD came across a failure to fire issue with a Glock 21. The initial inspection revealed nothing. A call was made to Glock who said, 'oh you have the bad trigger bars.' Apparently Glock 21's manufactured with serial #'s EFG might have received a short trigger bar assembly. The bad trigger bar assemblies have the numbers 4256 stamped on them. The new, correct trigger bar should have the stamping #'s of 4256-1. FYI... of the guns pulled by Mesa PD, 3 more were found to be bad. Mesa PD is/has pulled all of their Glock 21's off of the road.
Glock was asked to overnight ship the new trigger bars; however, they said they wouldn't be shipped until Monday 3-3-08. Please call Glock to order the new trigger bars. I am a current Glock Armorer and I was not notified; therefore, I doubt if anyone knows about the problem. Apparently Mesa called Phoenix PD and they have seen some of the same problems, but they were not notified by Glock either.
