Glock Totally Unacceptable Quality Control

[imcrazy]

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 .

Character, that new Glock already has character.

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.

 

[SATX]

Yep, you have a problem.

Not particularly, since I arrived at the LGS within about an hour of delivery. What's the exact rule on that . . . ?

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! Yep, we'll make million$

Still believe it has to be logged first.
Guess they could do it at the same time as the transfer, but have never seen an FFL do it tat way.

I would say it depends on the use you plan on it having ? If it's a new gun to be put away and never used, then yes, be irritated. If you're going to use it for range and carry use, I wouldn't even bother because after a little time it'll be right back to where it is now. It's a high spot, so will rub on anything the gun comes in contact with first.

As long as there is no other wear indicating it was previously used/fired, I wouldn't stress over it.

Mine did for me in 2003 because he knew I was picky,and I was adding a costly one to my collection.

Wow looking at a lot of replys ( and at risk at getting spanked ) Wow is my safest word to type. The O P bought a new gun it should be in brand new condition . I like him accept nonthing less and have bought all mine to date new. Me now being retired and on a very tight budget you want what you pay for. Keep us advised O P I am with 110 %.

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 . . . ?

I would demand a new slide stop lever *and* a new set of walnut stocks for it.

It was before I left with it. I guess I don't understand. Perhaps you've never been close enough to the process . . .

No matter when you arrived. I guarantee that when you opened the box, he verified the serial number and logged it in. Then did your background check and logged it out.

Yeah, that's how it works. Not sure why that became an issue. Oh wait, 107 posts about a minor issue is why it's an issue . . .
