Was field stripping my glock tonight to fix a broken slide release and noticed that my extractor plunger spring was plastic to Metal, not Metal to metal like it was supposed to be. I quickly fixed the issue but I am.honestly lost on how it occured. One note is that since the last slide take down I had shot close to 500 rounds and the gun never malfunctioned until the slide release lever broke.
Here are my questions:
-how bad was this for the gun
-is the slide release breaking related?
-I noticed that Todd has an article on pistol-training showing the same misTake. Anyone else do this before?
