Called Glock. They said to ship it to them and that if for whatever reason they didn’t replace it for free that they’d charge me $125 for a new barrel. Given the cheapest I can find a replacement OEM barrel for is $150, I can’t lose.
We’ll see how this goes.

That's a good deal either way. I would've suggested going with an OEM barrel, no matter what. Interested to see what they do.
Just so you know, I've got a friend that ruined a G19.3 by somehow dragging it down a highway.
He sent it to them and they said it was beyond repair. They offered him a G19.5 at a Blue Label sort of price. It worked well for him being a Southpaw and he was most pleased with the service and price he paid.
I'm wanting to say high three's on the price so if you have to lay out cash for the barrel, might want to see what the Gen 5 upgrade cost is.
Regards.
Just got off the phone with Glock. It sounds like they’re replacing the barrel for free. Should be shipped back within 2-4 weeks.

Good on them.Originally Posted by spinmove_
One of the many reasons Glock rules the LE handgun world.
I just got a tracking number from FedEx. The gun should be back to me by Monday.

Got the G17.2 in last night. New Gen4 barrel and internals and no charge. That’s pretty damn awesome. They even put fresh new green fiber in my front sight. Now I just have to relube all the trigger bits, put my grip plug and extended mag release back in, and I’m ready to rock and roll.

That level of service is what I have learned to expect from Glock. Back when I lived near Smyrna, one could buy a pre-owned Glock, drive to the facility, get escorted by the guard, drop off the pistol, pay something like $60 for night sights, and the whole pistol came back with new internals and the sights. Once all of my magazines with the pistol were replaced because they had older versions of the follower inside. I had an E-prefix frame that was subject to the recall, called to order the frame, got the call a few months later, and took the pistol to Smyrna. That pistol was totally rebuilt, and it got a new box, extra magazines, and some other Glock paraphernalia.
Wow, just...wow. I mean, with service like that and being a GSSF member, it’s really easy to see how some people could become legitimate rabid Glock fans.
