Glock Totally Unacceptable Quality Control

[Muss Muggins]

Picked this up today. Blue Label Glock 45. The right side slide stop lever is degraded. Calling Glock tomorrow. Do I ask for a full refund or a new pistol . . . ?

It looks worn. That raises questions about the rest of the pistol. If you like the model I'd ask for a replacement. If they won't go for that, tell them you'll take their check.

Agreed. Looks like it was carried and used before the distributor sent it to me purporting to be new. Potentially a fraud case . . .

Oh yeah. Send that shabby mess back with a strongly worded email to the company President.

Unacceptable. It is clear that Glock allowed a left handed shooter to caress that slide stop lever on multiple occasions. I can't in good conscience accept that firearm as new and unfired. Somebody owes me some cash. Or a new gun . . .

Black sharpie.

I haven't seen anything that bad on a new pistol for years. You have every right to be very angry over this egregious oversight and blatant damage.

Really? I bought a brand new pistol. Why should I have to take a Sharpie to it . . . ?

Agreed. Total disregard for quality control

Question--if somebody put wear marks on the pistol after it left the factory and before it got to you, how is that a problem with Glock's QC?

I'm thinking somebody in the supply chain either swapped the slide stop, or it rubbed on something in the box.

So who do I sue?

No such outrage to my new M&P. Step up from Glock.

"So who do I sue? " Over a slide stop? The rest of the pistol that is shown looks brand new. Maybe some one in the supply chain changed it out for some reason? Who knows? I doubt if it left the factory like that. Ask for a new slide stop.

Doesn't solve my problem. What do I do with my significantly damaged pistol?

What does the other side look like? Could this gun been on a shelf somewhere prior to you purchasing it? I ask because my Glock 32 sat in a showcase for 49 weeks before I bought it. The slide release (left side) looked like your photo. The gun rested on that part.

If it didn't leave the factory like that, how did it get like that?

It's self-inflicted. You bought a Glock.

The Glock 45 is a brand new model. Are you really saying that a finish can just wear by sitting? If that's the case, NIB no wear no turn line revolvers from the 70's should not exist. But we know they do . . .
