Here it is again:
So last night I was rummaging around in my vault and found this:
The story is that I had to Fedex the piece of the slide block to the Glock Dealer in Uruguay (No dealer here on the Rock)...and Fedex wouldn't take the whole slide - That's a "firearm or part thereof"...so I had to cut it and send it as Scrap Metal. Took me three months for all the Import / Export paper work and ex-transit/in-transit time, but Glock's Customer Service was great. They sent me a completely new slide - with original serial number - at no cost.
But three months without my CCw was not fun. Moral of the story; use snap caps to do dry fire practice. |

Hi,
Remember, I know of Jamrock - we are both from Jamaica, but I am not attesting as fact that his pistol did indeed break from dry-firing. I have only reposted what he did.
I am inclined to believe something happened...if the frigging space shuttle  can blow up, any other man made mechanical device can!

I recently placed a call to Glock Customer Support to ask a few questions. One of them was about using snap caps for dry firing. The technician said occasional dry firing to take the tension off the firing pin or to perform a field strip is okay, but recommended the use of snap caps if I was going to do dry fire sessions for practice. The other information I obtained, although not related to this thread, was they use Break-Free CLP to clean the entire gun. They use GunScrubber for tougher jobs but avoid using ANY ammonia-based cleaners.

I just read the title as "What everyone should know about deep frying their pistol"...

I am not doubting most of his story, but I do not believe this part at all.
I have never known Glock to replace a slide, frame or barrel with an original SN.
Given the number of spare parts they have, why would they make a brand new part just to stamp an original SN? Just to make it sound good on an Internet forum?

Could be because he was required to cut the original in half in order to ship the broken part to GLOCK?
