All I needed to know, I'm done dicking with it I promise . Thanks!
So have I messed up and should not have tapped it in just a hair past flush?
Allow me to tell you folks about a Glock G 30 S I bought new that became so corroded (in only four months of ownership!), it was eventually returned to Glock. I had no reason to suspect anything was amiss - it still dry fired, live fired, ejected (?) and fed everything like a new gun. I just decided to detail strip the slide. The depressor extractor plunger had completely "become one" with the slide. At first I thought just the spring was rusted and knowing a new one was all of $1.50, I "removed" it, thinking the plunger would follow. Nope. Took it to my local gunsmith at my FFL, who was also unable to remove the plunger and then sent it to Glock. A Glock engineer called me and questioned me for at least a half hour - going through every facet of my gun care, determining that I had done nothing wrong, assuring me that "this was not what Glock was about" - and to prove it, they sent me a new 30 S to my FFL (arrived in 2 days) to replace it. He told me that no one at Glock had ever seen anything like it. The replacement, which I sold last month, has had no issues. Anyone here ever heard of something like this?
