New barrel for G17.2

[spinmove_]

I just got back from the range this morning where this happened...



The rest of the gun appears to be fine, I just a new barrel. This is a police trade-in G17 that I picked up 2-3 years ago. Would Glock replace this barrel? If not, should I just snag an OEM replacement or go aftermarket?

This is my primary USPSA Production gun right now. I have plans on getting a G17.5 and getting it setup as my primary which would relegate this gun to being dedicated to training/practice. Given it’s age and what just happened, I’ll probably be speeding up when I get the G17.5, but would still like to get this G17.2 back into service.

Tagging in, curious to see if Glock will replace it. If it were mine, I wouldn’t be sore if they didn’t.

Oh neither would I. I’d be surprised if they did. Was just curious if that was even a possibility.

Contact warranty and request instructions. They will almost certainly want to see that gun and replace the barrel for you.

Get the gen5 anyway. Consider a G45 rather than a 17, and perhaps the MOS variant.

This is what I would do. I'm very curious to see what their response will be. I keep a few spare parts on hand but no barrels.

I'd be very surprised if they didn't give you a new barrel.

I’ve only seen that once before, on a well used G22 gen 3.

I’d be surprised if Glock didn’t replace the barrel.

I expect Glock will ask for the whole pistol be sent in for service and that all of the internals will be replaced at zero cost.

I had a Gen 2 slide crack down through the ejection port. I sent it to Glock and it came back with the original frame and barrel and all other parts were new.

Not a barrel, but I have a 6 year old 17.3 Blue Label (can't say it was a dept gun, but it was used) that Glock replaced the frame due to the locking block pin walking out during live fire. It was so loose that the tip of a Bic pen with "writing pressure" would push it out of the frame.

I fully expected to pay the $125 for a new frame, Glock replaced it for free (minus shipping to Smyrna).
