Glock Totally Unacceptable Quality Control

Your LGS accepts firearm shipments without inspection? Mine doesn’t.
That’s unusual isn’t it?
 
I’m very good friends with mine and it’s a very small town but if he accepts a package that’s supposed to be a Glock and it’s not, that’s in his book and on him. I understand and agree with him verifying what he’s signing for.
But this doesn’t help with your problem, I digress. Sorry

LGS owner is a significant acquaintance. I doubt your “friendship” with yours is similar. It was NIB, it was from a distributor with whom he has a long term established relationship, he knew it was for me, the distributor had notified him of the shipment with a tracking number, and he was expecting it. Again, trust and relationships have many levels. Apparently yours aren’t deep enough. . .

Edit: He also knows I’m not a picky, condition obsessed prima dona, and unless it came in on fire, it was going out the door with me. Remember, he’s just a drop box in this transaction. No responsibility whatsoever except insuring that the gun isn’t going to an ineligible person . . .

If you think that's bad, you should see how fast the black came off the blade of my Glock field knife.
I was using it as a throwing knife, throwing it at a pine tree with thick, soft (for bark) bark.
After the second throw, the bark had left my blade in the white, where it went in.
 
Lol! I haven't seen a gen5 that doesn't show that same wear in the slide stop. It must rub off during handling at the factory.

I also found that the new black diamond finish, or whatever it's called, on the slide doesn't hold up very long against Kydex.
 
That little bit of wear wouldn't have even been worth the time it would have took me to take a pic unless you bought it as a collectors item... Tactical Tupperware guns are just tools in my eyes... Now if the internals parts are worn I might be asking for a replacement... Wouldn't even be worth my time to call 'em to complain again, it's a tool and it's purpose is to function not look pretty but, that is just me...

I have watched several YouTube reviews of the new model Glocks and I do recall in multiple videos them discussing the thinness of finish on the slide stop/release and how quickly it appeared to wear. Perhaps this is an ongoing issue and this example was just handled enough at the LGS, shipping and laying around to create the wear. I believe I read someone else referenced the thinness on this thread so I'm being led to believe it is of concern if the aesthetics of a Glock worry you. I do know I've never had that wear show up on my gen 4's or 3's.

Hard to take seriously a thread where a phrase like "aesthetics of a Glock" doesn't at least spawn a whole new thread on oxymoronic language.
 
Keep in mind also that Glock does not just assemble a gun, throw it in a box, and off to market. Each gun is inspected for function, and test fired which means handling. No new glock is a new glock, they have all been fingered, and fired at the factory.
 
Muss Muggins Can I guess you own at least one M&P "gen 1" pistol since your here . But the 2.0 version are not that great stock ether . If yes knowing how bad the triggers are and the below to very below average ability to shoot decent groups your still going to complain about that wear mark on the glock slide hold open ! Take it up with glock CS as no answer will be found here and I'm sure what your gun shop will say .

Blame your self at this point and move on . Live and learn

Next time use your tactical flash light you should carry to look any new purchase over well .
 
Yeah that was meant to be funny. Thank you for taking notice. Some days I wonder why I even respond to threads as it seems 90% of the participants don't read any of the posts just the OP and sometimes that even seems questionable by their responses. Either way it's been entertaining to pick a part the "quandry" of the original post.

Any thought that this is simply a finish defect on a single part?
Also, seems very odd that the LGS had not broken the seal given they have to log it coming in.
 
I just looked at a few of mine.

These have been on the pistols for 25-30 years, but I think we may still have a shot at a class action suit.

Wadda ya think?

Hey wait a minute, they put your's on the wrong side! :D Yep, we'll make million$
