  • Just in case you haven't gotten a satisfactory answer yet, I have the same pistol; you have to use some force and push the guide rod hard, toward the front of the weapon or muzzle, and then the disc on the guide rod will move back just enough to allow it to fit. It does take a bit of force, so you really need to crank on it. If you have delicate fingers it may hurt a little, but you'll get used to it.

  • WOW you are a Dumbass!!! Pass the glock on to a real man!!!

  • I'm glad you figured it out 'cause I don't know, but nice gun.

  • lol dumass why take it apart if you don't know how to put it back lmao

  • you should tell them please feel free to post constructive comments. sorry there are ignorant people every where. anything worth doing is worth doing right but some times you have to do it wrong until you learn how.

  • @cwalk1012012 Stupid is misuse of a possessive pronoun rather than a proper contraction when accusing someone else of stupidity.

    As in "Holy shit you're stupid."

    Dumbass.

  • Load it and point it at your nutts. That will solve it!

  • i am having a similar problem, however my recoil spring does not stay seated in the semi-circle on the barrel. Upon field strip the recoil spring consistently pop's up to the position you were showing in the beginning of the video.

  • the problem is you own that gun

  • Push it through the hole. Take it to someone who owns one and have them show you. I have the same gun and was a little frustrated at first to with that peice. You have the best gun made. It still fires when its not in the semi circle.

  • The Sping will compress into itself with force.

  • you have to compress the spring a little until it goes in. it isnt meant to slide in easy or else it would fall out of place during firing.

  • push the spring in with BALLS! trust me i have 2glocks...23 and 36

  • a little more intentional push on the spring will get that guide rod seated properly on the semi circle groove on the barrel. push forward on the rear end of the guide rod and pushing it downwards. you're supposed to push it in and not just "put" or "place" it "on" the barrel. no big deal, you can do it.

  • the only thing keeping it from going through the hole on the front of the slide is the spring. just push it through a little and it will fit

  • Funny you show this, when I first got my XD9 I had problems figuring out the spring my self. Once you figure it out, you will be fine. Hopefully someone gave you the advice that you needed.

  • Not that SIG is a bad gun, I love SIGs, but with Glock's reputation and known reliability and functionality....no Glock owner ever worries about springs not fitting. the guy who posted the video just isnt the brightest guy on the planet and couldnt figure out that you need to put some tension on the spring for it to sit in the correct spot. And you can find this info on this website...guy was also too lazy to look so he made his own video and made himself look stupid.

  • I can not believe some of the answers here. #1 if you know nothing of how a Glock works don't offer an answer, you could cause some real damage. Guns are a serious business and should not be joked over, as for the spring, just push in a lttle and down on the end at barrel at the same time goes right in

  • there's a dvd called "Complete Glock"

    I would highly recommend watching that since you've purchased a glock.

  • The first thing I usually get of is the spring. I hate the OEM rod. I recommend either the lasermax of wolff spring. But it's a Glock, you won't hurt it just push harder

  • let me know if you have it figured out now or not.

    if not i will try to make a video response showing how to do it on my G26

  • Use the Force Luke...

  • Dude! Just press harder on the other side. It's a spring - press against it, and it fits into the semi-circle just fine. Don't be tentative.

  • Glad you figured it out. If you haven't already, check-out the SafeArmsReview channel on Youtube.

  • Hate to say it, but just push harder it will go in

  • Frontsight has a saying "any gun will do if you'll do" Your Glock is a quality weapon time for you to be as good as your weapon. Do not get tied up in whichever gun is better....if it is reliable and you can use it with facility it can be trusted, but first you must practice, practice,practice. Set up a dry fire range in your home after you learn the rules get some basic instruction have a training method selected,practice perfect every time start so slow and increase speed only allowing perfect

  • Re-post. Looks like a 2 year old typed it.

  • When you look at the glock from a Picture still, it looks kind of plasticily. And yeah it does look like a lego. But once i heard the noise of the metal hitting either the metal rod or the desk. It felt real, and it would suck real bad if you get pistol whipped to the face.

    I am in college right now. And I know nothing of guns, but I am interested once i finished and go to the marines. I also support very much the 2nd amendment with a sense personal responsiblity. where do I start?

  • i have a G26 and you just have to push hard to compress the spring then it will sit down in there. at least thats how it works on my G26

  • Also to note. Watch out for Slide Bite on Glocks. When you fire the weapon make sure your wrist is oriented in a manner as such that the slide does not impact or pinch your skin or forearm. The cs laser does seem to help with this cause it helps force a better grip (I don't own glock but have fired a few in the local gun club).

  • In the glock manual its called a half moon. Im not sure about the full size glocks, but on the 26 you put the end into the

  • Consult instruction manual. I used to have a glock and never had any trouble fitting the recoil spring back into place. Just go to the place you bought it from, ask them to show you.

  • Men and guns.

    Never buy a gun that looks like a Lego set. If I want to play with Legos, I still have my old set. Haven't played with them for a long time.

  • HA!!!! you hav the Angel, The OC and Friends DVD box set.

  • call tech support

  • yall are too harsh on demcad, he is still learning

  • I tried to warn you Reggie, but no......."I'm gonna go with a GLOCK, somethin' I've heard of!" In other words, "I HAVE TO BUY A NAME BRAND CAUSE I'M TOO SCARED TO TAKE ACTUAL ADVICE." Truthfully, so long as the gun is functional, it's probably not a problem. If you're really concerned, take it to a licensed gun shop that does gunsmithing and see what they can do for you.

  • I don't have a Glock but I do have a Springfield XD with the same floating barrel design. Mine fits easily into the lower notch but I do have to push back on the spring to drop into place. Just push harder on the spring and it should drop into place. That spring moves A LOT if you push on it. And yes, that likely does belong in the lower round notch, it does on the Springfield design.

  • just pull the spring back till it gets to the half circle just pull back push down

  • Should of bought a 1911

  • PS when you figure it out make a video showing us your accomplishment! :D

  • Yeah its a big deal. You can hear it scraping when you rack it. If all else fails go to a gun store and have them show you lol

  • Be a man and PUSH that fucker down. lol

    Yes, it's supposed to fit down in the bottom.

    See thearmorychannel for more info.

  • Thats wut She said LOL

  • insert, push and guide it into the cradle. do that and you won't be a ding dong spazatron anymore

  • Hey Demcad, The guide rod will go through the hole in the slide. It will fit if you just push it through. Everytime the guns fired the rod extends into that hole.

    Take Care~

  • Hi Demcad this is Karl from the bullorbearreport.

    I have a Glock 19 and the spring MUST sit into the half semicircle. If you fire the gun with the spring only in the top part you can end up breaking the spring shaft and doing damage to your gun.

    You have to slide the small end into the end of the barrel and then push on the spring forward until it pops into that lower semicircle seat.

    Good luck.

  • A Reg, you have to push the guide rod through the hole compressing the spring. Then simotaniously push the end of the guide rod down to the half moon.

  • Hey Demcad, im sure you probably did this already, but have you checked out the gun laws for Michigan? You might have some restrictions you didnt have in AL.

  • I know im a broken record but.. Get Crimson Trace lasergrips for the Glock watch?v=X3dB8FiaM6k

  • I don't disagree at all on this comment. Crimson Trace is a very good product, and I would recommend getting them. However, Reginald (or anybody) still needs to get tuned in with regular sights. You never know when or if that laser could fail. Mine did. Also, a good flashlight, like a small SureFire, is a great thing to have at night. Light in one hand, gun in the other. Back of hand, to back of hand with thumb pressing the momentary button. Lots of practice no matter what.

  • Night shooting with a good flashlight held properly is a lotta fun...you can even see the bullet heading to the target.

  • I like SureFire's 6P LED light. Easy to use with a handgun, and damn bright. They're truly amazing. And no, not in the biz of selling that brand or anything else. My life has depended on it - that's why I like it.

  • Why did you even make a video of that?

  • To: DeeeArrrEsss. You ask: Why make a video of this? Reg is a good guy...but maybe he sees his subscribers as "his family..."

  • ah, the glock, remember it from the first half-life game... You could even shoot it under water, anyone who knows if it works irl?

  • @Seoshinawi do a youtube search. A guy actaully recorded his glock firing under water.

  • I did not read all the comments so pardon me if you've already figured this out. On all my glocks I need to slightly depress the spring in order for it to fit in the correct location. It looked like you were trying to place it without compressing the spring a bit.

  • Reg, ditto on what phillychoppin said. Take your index finger and press the "button" forward to compress the spring and simultaneously press it in the half moon notch.

  • I have to depress the spring as well in order to get the rod to fit.

  • nice video dude..

  • if i remember from my glock 26 i used to cc years ago it should touch the barrel and fit all the way down!! try different angles and push it forward hard!! the black part should poke through the hole in the end of the barrel!!

  • Dry fire is ok. RECOMMENDED by many who offer training with semiauto pistols. Never force anything or use a tool when none is required by the manufacturer.  Learn every aspect of your weapon maintenance and operation practice, practice, practice in ever increasing difficulty because you your weapon is only as good as you are on a really bad day.

  • I've had numerous hours of hands-on, expensive training by one of the nation's top experts on firearms, and everything you said is spot on. The only thing (from my own stupidass experience) is that rimfire guns should not be dry fired. It will dent the top entrance to the barrel, making autoloaders jam. Said expert only covered "serious" guns...9mm and up. 380's & downward, no. That was his definition of serious handguns, not mine. Oh, revolver, 38 Special and up.

  • are you blocking me

  • Yo DEM, you need to get one of those commercial blow torches and metal grinders. A pair of vice grips and pliers will also be needed....J/K...LOL I would go to a gun shop and get professional help.

  • gettin some bootylicious action would def. take yur mind off of that gun.or you could even incorporate the gun into the action.your choice

  • I have the Glock 17,22 and 27 and they all fit into the lower ring...

  • Dude! Don't know somebody in town? Go to a gun shop... some body suggested you use a vice grip! YA , and then hit it with a hammer! Joking, of course, seek professional help man.

  • USD417 has a great vid on assembly and disassembly. It's less than three min. It's effortless.

  • Call me basic and simple, but I was taught never, never to dry fire.

  • good luck taking apart the glock then

  • try depressing the spring with som vice grips

  • Hey Dem. I just took a look at my hk usp 9mm. It has a similiar design as the glock as far as the guide rod to barrel relationship. I put my guide rod on my barrel the same as you, on that first flat ledge on the barrel. It's not supposed to be complicated or hard to do. If you had to attach it to that second ledge, that would be very difficult. Besides if it functions when you fire it, it should be right.

  • You are doing it the right way. You don't have to get the spring onto the lower notch. A Glock is basically like an AK, if you've assembled it and it dry fires like it should, then you've done it correctly.

  • Spring fields and sigs dem, I have had multiple problems with dif glocks. Glocks are fine at the range but personaly I would bet my life on one.

  • err wouldn't bet my life on lol

  • You would bet your life on one?

  • bleep

  • Glock 21 vs Marlin

    was upset about his grades / jammed after two shots /

    if it wasn't for Jason Michael Hamilton's crappy rifle (new Marlin .30-06 bolt-action from Dick's)

    rate my professors / her heavy Russian accent makes it hard to understand her lectures / older lady from Russia ... accent is very heavy / hard to understand / stressful in her class so I withdrew

  • I freaking love angel -- spike is bad ass

  • demcad, I think it's better for you to get a pistol

  • I mean revolver

  • Hey Demcad,

    Nice gun.

    I've stable full of Colts.

    How do you like the Glock?

    I've been considering adding one to my collection.

    Thanks for all your video postings.

  • I'll give my opinion FWIW..I have a bit of everything and a Colt Gov't 80 in stainless. Last gun I bought was a Springfield XD 40. I've have a Glock model 22 and it's hands down my favorite gun. Why? I can have every part disassembled and put back in 5 minutes. They're super non-complicated. Plus, they're lighter, shoot damn accurate, rarely if ever jam, and the trigger feel is exceptional. It's my go to gun when I know my life could be on the line at work. That speaks volumes....

  • Damn man i really dont know whats wrong with it, have you talked to any of your local gun retailers or shop owners? they may be able to help you more than half the assholes on here.

  • put ur back into it

  • it does fit into the lower recieved grove. just push down and foward (toward the front of the barrel) with the rear of the plasic guide and it will pop into place.

  • Michael Scott (from The Office) would have collapsed breathless after saying "That's what she said!" about 1,000 times to this vid.

  • Not a big deal. Your spring is where it needs to be. Best, Theroadwarri0r

  • check out sootch00 vid on the 17 it very similar to the 21

  • go to a glock field strip video

  • Yea its a big deal! I would take it to a gunsmith, forget about the shops. I would also trade that Glock in for a revolver, nothing beats simplicity.

    <-- Ruger Blackhawk 44 owner

  • You dont have to baby your gun. its a GLOCK for crying out loud. Its not like smith & wesson, ruger ect. its a go to war weapon.... bad boy weapon, real gun man weapon !!!!!

  • Dem, go to the goddamn gunshop where you bought the gun! They will help you, fix that!!!!

  • I figured it out for myself.

  • @DEMCAD

    YOU GOTTA BE KIDDING RIGHT ???? AND GET A FUCKIN HAIRCUT !!!! LOOKZ LIKE YOU HAVE PUBES GROWIN ON UR HEAD !

  • You just need to press on it harder to compress the spring more. Once you have the spring in the first groove, put your thumb on the end of the spring and push forward and down.

  • when you put the spring in there you have to push it out towards the way the barrel is pointing then push it down, i see your just placing it on there, you have to push is down in there with some force while pushing the guide rod though the hole under the barrel.

  • check out your video responce, jonah70757 did an excellect job. Make sure your guide rod is all the way down ,use your thomb to push foward and press down. Have fun and be safe...

  • It's defective. Send it to me and I'll take it off your hands.

    Nothing wrong with your gun dude.

  • Your holding a weapon of mass destruction... shame on you DEMCAD!!!

  • Hmm...It looks to complicated for me, good luck with it, as for me I rather use a double edge sword that cut both ways! LOL........

  • you have to compress the spring down to make it fit its a lil tuff but it gose all the way down inside the cut out

  • They're fucking with you,man. It doesn't go all the way down there,It rests on the first step. You're doing it right.

  • The spring doesn't contract? I'm confused. It should fit. The weapon operates fine? Hmm...unfortunately, I don't have a glock handy to check. I figure as long as it works, you're ok. There doesn't seem to be any shredding if metal?

  • probelly gumed up they need a good clean ....my mini 14 takes a good poo from the gas piston ...makes a gap in front then i know it needs some hard cleaning near the gas piston opening

    check for black goo ...pistal has tigher tolences ..lots of things can go wrong if thier not cleaned properly

  • this is why i dont go to public ranges!

  • You almost had it there at the end.

  • you might want to stop shooting the spring needs to sit all the way down. your going to jam or screw up your spring not that it cost all that much. but why on earth would you fire it knowing something wasnt right???

  • push that spring dude..... c'mon

  • do more gun videos this is hilarious shit.

  • what the heck. . what is this mail order guns?

  • my Walther P99QA has a similar setup as well ...

  • my Glock 19 has the same setup, just compress the spring more so that the plastic front goes thru the hole then it should drop down ...

  • Lubrication is the key to a good relationship with your gun and your girl hahahahaha

  • just as long as it dont blow up in your hands mate

  • BADBOY REGGIE DEM !

  • Better solve the problem before you really need to use it, try expaining that to someone breaking into your house.

  • LMFAO

  • lol. Yeah... can you just wait 2 seconds whilst I put my gun back together?

  • lol give me a moment.. have some tea while you wait.

  • DEM I have a glock also, and I agree with other post, it looks dry.

  • demcad

    take it down to the corner ask the local gang bangers for some advise ...

  • @chena3 LMAO

  • that glock looks real dry. needs to be lubed.

  • I use PB BLASTER to keep it lubed. It helps keep in clean, and isn't affected by heat.

    YOU CAN NEVER HAVE TOO MUCH LUBE! :)

  • yeah you can, the more lube you have, the more dirt will tend to collect on your firearm

  • Use just enough to do the job which is very little on a glock.

  • Didn't realize you wouldn't see the funny in it. I really do use PB BLASTER. It works great, and is also a rust inhibitor and penetrates rust.

  • push it forward and down, the plastic piece is supposed to come out the front of the slide when you pull it back so it is intended to be pushed forward to get it in

  • Another point, I noticed your spring is silver colored. Is that the factory OEM spring? Mine is black. Aftermarket components can cause problems.

  • Yes, it's a factory one. Well, it came like this.

  • Just compress the spring harder and push down.

  • You're right. I figured it out.

  • Push the guide rod threw the hole....compressing the spring.

  • How did you transfer it from alaska to detroit?

  • this can be done in Checked Luggage, as long as it's DECLARED and Secured unloaded ... read the TSA secret manual that was leaked LOL

  • Go to the Glock website and download the PDF file Manual.

  • send it to me and I will take a look at it :)

  • :) LOL

  • dont buy a plastic gun next time lol

  • Wish I knew. I got a simple shotgun. That's a nice Glock though.

  • Call up ArmsReview.

  • SafeArmsReview

  • Thanks.

  • You're welcome ... :)

  • I have a Glock 19 and mine fits down in the semicircle. With your spring being heavier maybe you need to compress the spring more? With yours sitting so hi up it may cause it to jam against the receiver.

  • Never even touched one, but based on this video

    watch?v=3hvzgNLFSO4

    looks fairly simple .. dunno .. good luck

  • I would bring it in to a gunsmith if I were you Demcad. It seems like something isnt retracting enough to fit the spring properly. A professional opinion is what you need at this point. blessings to you and your family over there in Flint Michigan

  • I don't know a thing about it, but there are some videos about this on youtube. Maybe one of those videos will help.

  • squez it through the hole push the guid rod down with thumb the spring will compress therod will extend through the hole then u should be able to move the rod dowm

  • Did you get it in yet? Prob has to be pressed and inserted. Check the manual (I have sigs not glock). BTW it looks too dry might want to add a little lube. There is a video around called how to lube a glock. Again I don't know where and how much to apply.

  • @vashguud

    Need to be really careful not to over-lube! Again, as has been said, take it to a gun shop or shooting range for advice. There's also a fellow here on YouTube, MadBadVoodo, who can help, and would be glad to, if Reg wanted to PM him or send the vid. MadBadVoodo may even already be a subscriber of Reg's. =^[.]^=

  • Yea that's why I said for him to watch videos I knew about over lubing Glocks. Now on my Sigs you can juice them up they are all metal. I have loads of FP1over everything inside. A thin layer of course.

  • also try switching the spring around, but I can almost guarantee it just needs to be squeezed harder and tighter before trying to lock it in.

  • You have to just squeeze it together more before putting it in. I've had the same problem, just pull it harder first and then clamp it down.
