But I was able to shoot the weapon and it did not take me out of the fight. I am sure it was not safe but still operated fine. Operated so well I didn't know it was broke. I took it to a Glock Armor and he didn't have any springs. Told me they cost about a nickle, so I order one on line and it cost about seven bucks. The new on was much thicker and I was able to replace it with ease, by watching a you tube video.It was not rocket science. I have shot it ever since with out fail.
I shot about 3000 rounds through my Glock 19 when the slide lock spring broke. I was at the range shooting with a few of my buddies. The lane bench had several Glocks and boxes of ammo on it. I notice the slide stop next to a box of ammo. I thought it was just a piece of trash. I continue to fire my Glock 19 and ran about another 100rds through it. It was my buddy that picked up the piece of medal that I thought was trash and said "OH NO!" We examined all the Glocks and discovered it was my G19
@GunWebsites@GunWebsites Have you ever been to (or even heard of, or read about) a trial for a valid CCW lethal incident where the 'good guy' went to jail for "home gunsmithing? I haven't seen any record of that happening. This is not a dig by any means. It just sounds like you have seen/been to that kind of trial, and I would be very interested to read the details.
Great video. I have just started owning and shooting Glocks, 17 & 19. I asked a Glock armorer what parts could break and cause the gun to be non-working, this part was one of them. Now I have spares. I have S&W semis with 20k + rounds through them without a problem, glad to see I can expect the same kind of performance with the Glocks. Spare parts are essential. I have done the same for my S&W's and for 20+ years have not had to change a broken part.
Great video thanks!! I just bought my first pistol, a Glock 21. I wouldn't know the first thing about something going wrong like this. So should I have my pistol checked and serviced by Glock...how does that work, because I wanna have my Glock in perfect working order at all times and I dont want to have it KABOOOM.
@GunWebsites If you purchase a gun certified pre-owned from the manufacturer (like a red box Sig) would you assume it has a new recoil spring or would you probably put a new one in after a couple thousand rounds?
Any pistols made in the USA worth looking at. Everyone seems so immersed into the Austrian Glock. Any USA maker as good as Glock??? I want to buy, but I like the idea of supporting manufacturing done here in the USA...
Wow, I think I have this same problem - but only after 100 rounds. Yes 100. The slide release lever is very loose and won't stay "up" unless I stick a small screwdriver in the side and "pull" the spring up. It isn't broken, just looks like it has jammed in the opening? It isn't really a spring, just a flat metal bent piece. The slide acts just as in this video. Crap I just purchased this G27 not too long ago. How easy is it to get new spring, and/or should I try to make the space bigger x-acto?
Maybe you guys can help: I'm thinking about buying a friends glock21 (he's never fired it) he bought it used as an investment gun. But, the slide release has some issues. It will lock the slide back, but it's extremely hard to depress/release the slide. If I field strip it, the release is very loose (feels like the spring is worn out). The gun still fires accurately, but without a loaded mag in I can't drop the slide without manually pulling back on the slide, and pressing the lever> any clue?
Easy enough to fix / test.. just get the new part for like $15 or something and see if it works better again.. some stores will install it for you if you are not comfortable swapping it out
That's supposed to be like that. On the Glock, that control is a slide lock, not a slide release which is why it's so flat in the first place (easy to push up, not so easy to push down). The idea is to rack the slide after inserting a new magazine. That said, you can buy an "extended slide release" which will make it easier to use as a slide release.
@pbs357 I've owned a glock 27, and glock 17 before I bought the 21. Granted it's not like a Springfield xd, but on both guns I could release the slide with out pulling back on it. This was a definite malfuntion of the part itself. The Glock armorer that looked at it said it simply wore out. I did go with the glock extended slide relase, and ended up liking it better anyway. It was $20 I didn't mind spending.
I was at the range today shooting my Glock 19. The slide lock spring failed and the side locked fell out of the weapon. I was sharing a lane with a few friends and noticed the slide lock on the bench. But I paid it no mind, thought it was just trash. About 200 rounds later I picked it up and said, "oh shit"! So, I disagree with the video. If your Glock slide lock spring breaks. It does not take you out of the fight. My Glock 19 kept preforming well. But at the range (for safety) stop shooting.

Holy smokes, I thought he was talking about his Chevy Truck breaking @ 14,000 miles -- That $hit is normal, buy a Ford next time and you get to buy a new Truck even sooner.
Glock is the Toyota Tacoma of the gun world. Nothing fancy & works when you need it too.
@MAXEDOUT2009 If you take care of it, it can last that long. Just ask Dr. Ignatius Piazza at Front Sight. He showed all sorts of people including a few instructors that I know who are now LEOs(for example).
Granted you don't want to run a Glock that long without changing out certain parts for the sake of good go to gun. Piazza just wanted to see how long it would go before it died/needed new parts.
my dad's glock 20 blew up on him, and i mean litterally blew up... slide blew off, we couldn't find the recoil spring, and the barrel was about fifteen feet away, the mag buttplate blewout, and 10mm rounds went everywhere, and the slide rails were bent. then he baught a new glock 19 and another 20, and both work fine, we still have the shell thet blew up, the whole back of the casing had just blown off...
Legendary Reliability.... I bought a Glock 26 First time at the range the slide release spring broke and my slide fell and hit the ground. I had to send it in to Glock in Georgia and wait 6 - 8 weeks to get it back. My Smith and Wesson Sigma 9mm is still going strong after about a thousand rounds.
@GunWebsites - Those would be called "Slide Rails" so you are incorret. I am talking about the liitle lever you pull down that even the GLOCK booklet labels as "Slide Release Lever"
@GunWebsites Its ok, I thought I was wrong for a minute and so I consulted the manual before I looked like a dumbass with his foot in his mouth. We just didnt have an understanding what we were discussing. Anyways My gun is still in Georgia getting fixed at GLOCK :(
@seankazmark :D A sigma still going after a thousand rounds deserves its own video. Tell you what sport, how about some video footage of the broken Glock and this super sigma piece of shit you are talking about.
The spring can go over the locking block pin as easily as it's supposed to go under. Inserted the slide lock before the top pin can cause the confusion. I've done that before, the tension is less and i can tell the difference, thanks.
@number1Schumacherfan Well i have a glock and i shoot it every weekend im shure i have about 19.000 rounds threw it now and i never had a issue yet it all depends on the gun and how often you clean/oil it...
@cbekkers 14,000 rounds is not a lot of rounds for a Modern day firearm. I know glocks with over 150,000 rounds through them and they are still going strong.

buy a sig if u want a real gun glocks will never compare to sigs a sigs tourture test is a lot tougher than glocks so called tourture test do ur self a favor a nd buy a sig
Funny you say that, My buddy has a sig that he brought out to the range the other day, Jammed about 3-6 times out of every ten rounds.. It was no the ammo. I gave him some of my ammo and it still jammed ofcourse my glock shot my ammo and his ammo without issue. So preach all you want your sig is still a peice of shit.
@unbeatableshooter what do you work for sig or something? must you advertize sig on every glock video? fuck off and stick that sig up ur ass, no one needs to hear it
Interesting video. I have 4 glocks with the oldest being a G22 which is 16 years old and haven't had a single problem. I would agree most people shouldn't try to repair their own firearm if the don't know what they are doing. I would say the slide lock spring breaking after 14k rounds is probably a rare occurrence. And for anyone doubting the reliability of a Glock, ask yourself why over 65% of US law enforcement agencies issue Glock.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
I see no answer really. Justify to me WHY you need to take your gun to an armorer to have a spring replaced when you could do it yourself easily in a minute or less. Do you take your car in to a professional mechanic to put air in the tires, or change the oil (since you like car analogies so much)?

RichardEllisxyz i have herad more storys of soliders in iraq who owe ther lives to glock ther is no other handgun that will outperform or maches up the realiblity and performance of a glock
your been a bit of a fanboy arnt you? cmon glocks are very good but not the end all hand gun besides there are better handguns out there. kimber m1911's and SIG's both brands make great handguns and as for soliders in iraq its the same as solders in WW2 many of them would swere by the springfield m1911's
That gun had "one foot on a banana peel and the other in the grave" for sure. Even the military m16's have a lifespan of 10-14k rounds before they are expected to start failing. Glock is not to blame...Just as a car company is not to blame when a car breaks down at 200k miles. It saw its life and obviously searved well.
My friends Glock 34 will also slide forwards when the slide is back, and insurting a loaded magazine. not all the time but a lot. Thats under normal loading.
I'm just going on what he told me. I did not get to see the event, nor did I see the "pieces". There was nothing to be gained for him to lie to me in describing this encounter. The "torture tests" that was touted by glocks' video was a joke in that anyone with a brain, specifically knowing physics.....the tests were rigged. One could run over your own foot with any truck...and with soft gravel for your foot to sink into...bring on the truck. Think magic tricks.
I seriously doubt that Richard's buddy's Glock "shattered". More than likely it forced the slide forward past the slide lock and essentially dis-assembled itself. I have personally seen people beat the hell out of Glocks and fire them dry with only cosmetic damage. I wouldn't treat my 35 like that but I know it's tougher than it needs to be and will last practically forever.
I'd bet that the glock in this video isn't out of commission, and based on the function of the glock, he could fire it still. now, i've seen guys take their glock, throw it against a tree, stomp on it (on concrete), pick it up and empty the mag. you cant tell me richard's friend's glock "shattered". they just don't. also that can happen if you put in the recoil spring backwards on some models. not saying that his wasn't broken, but there are multiple ways to recreate the symptom.
Cr0cket20, I can replicate that on my Glocks. I believe I read that it happens when you are holding the Glock at a downward angle when slamming the mag. I dont know if I would even call it an issue. A friends Ruger .45 does the same thing. Check out Glock Talk forums and do a search on it. I am pretty sure that is how it works for all Glocks but I am not an expert.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
A buddy of mine had a "17", at the range he dropped his weapon from shoulder height, it rotated rearward off his right hand (Change in balance empty) it rotated one revolution striking the ground on the butt, muzzle pointed up at appx 45 degrees, striking the concrete it shattered into multiple pieces...not bounce as we all have been led to believe by the corny so-called torture tests.After receiving an immediate replacement from Glock they said they would deny such an incident occured.
My G23 is 11yrs old (lots of rounds through, a rough guess ~5,000. I could be far off). When inserting a loaded mag with slide locked back, slide automatically moves forward loading first round. I have replaced slide stop lever and purchased new mags. Issue still not fixed. Any suggestions would be welcomed.
You have a point. Forget what i said. but hey, its amazing looking through this comments hk man and GI joe armorer dude think theyre shit dont stink. idoits. Its pure maintenance, cheap and easly fix. try that with a sig, hk, or 1911. and if glock were trash, why is it still around for 30 years. 30 good years. theyre those type of guys that are like, "if its not expensive, is no good"
I am not a Glock armorer and I will go toe to toe with you on any Glock, the guy in the video is a joke with all the gear and AR-mags lol. Think you know it all.... Think again.
That is like a $2 part. Honestly, if people are worried about springs on their Glocks failing all you would need to do is buy a guide rod/spring assem., a Slide Stop Spring, and a Slide release lever/spring, and maybe a mag spring or 2. If you have all those parts in your kit you will be golden! It is like $27 in parts!
If you are serious about training and being a good shooter you really need to purchase 2 of which ever gun you are going to carry. One to train and beat the hell out of and one to carry. Also, there are several system checks you can do on a Glock before you holster it for the day. One of which would have caught the issue at hand.
I don't agree with you about the spare training gun, but that's OK
As for your concept of doing the Glock tests, how would they have determined this spring would break DURING training ?
Sure those tests will tell you if your pistol is OK at that moment, but I am not aware of any tests that will indicate that a spring will break after the next 200 rounds fired..
guns and cars are 2 different things... You aren't going to die if your car doesn't work.. you cant say the same thing about a gun when it comes time to really use it.
hahaha i acutally work 3rd shift at motel 6 and have very little to do from the hours of 3am-7am so i not only have a life but am getting paid to do this.....
lol dude....stop being such a baby because i called you ignorant....im 21 and still in college....this is not a career merely a job for spending money.....and by making fun of my job you are only further proving my point of how ignorant you really are.....and now everyone that watches this video gets to see that....and i dont know if its for a reason or cause you really dont know but its not dark vader its darth vader......
lol first off i work the front desk so no changing anything for me....secondly, and again because you obviously cant read well, im still in college.....kinda hard to start my career when im not finished with the schooling for said career...still just taking un-witty cheap shots because i called you out on your ignorance....grow up sir....your 27 years old please act accordingly....
14k rounds throught it? WOW that's a huge amount... All guns go through some type of malfunction at some point. Especially when you get past 10k+ mark. Thanx for posting this.
no problem, these are the kind of videos we like.. generating discussion and hopefully getting people to do preventative maintenance on their firearms,
shit that aint nothin. Ive seen people put into the hundreds of thousands of round through their glock. Not me unfortunately the money just aint there.... lol still though in the sceme of my budget I guess your right, 14k is a bit much
It takes me less than 2 minutes to remove that part on my Glock. I'm not a Glock armorer nor have I actually had any training on fully disassembling the pistol.
Glocks are awesome pistols and I'll be trusting my life to one every day when I get my CCW in a few short months.
Sigs are plenty and plenty of gun dealers try to talk you out of buying a glock and going with sigs because they can move glocks 10 times faster than sigs or Hk's. A sucker is born every minute, and they are the Mercedes and Sig owners of the world.
14000 rounds and finally a bearkage. WOW how crappy is that gun? give me a fucking break, put a glock against ANY gun ANY day. All you Sig and HK fans are fools to pay extra for expensive guns just to say you have a german made gun. Like mercedes owners who brag about their expensive car, but neglect to say its always in the shop. Glock is the Lexus of hand guns reasonalbe and reliable day in and day out. thats why you cant find them anywhere these days.
HAHA my personal collection is bigger than yours why wouldnt my ammo bill be? Sorry i dont shoot alot of firearms that belong to other people nor do i save ammo recipts for 7 years. but like i said atleast all the weapons in my videos BELONG TO ME
yeah i had the crimson trace grips on my 229. I love in the video he says he replaced the spring evey 3-4 thousand. Like i said 12-15 thousand and ammo is all i have replaced.
I guess mine is going to live up to the 24 thousand round service life that HK says it has.
By service life they are talking springs, not hard parts.
They feal like a glock to me and i dont like the trigger on them but one of my buddies has one with the brown frame in .40 he got his with the lazer/flashlight for 600 bucks not bad. Seams to shoot ok but i have only shot it 30 or so times. Hell i like my first pistol the ol Ruger P89DC. Its a great shooting pistol and have never had any problems out of it. I havent shot it in over a year need to get it out.
Another pointless comment.. deleting the ones with swears, since they add NOTHING to this video or even a firearms discussion .. grow up, learn to express opinions with vocabulary not emotions .. well perhaps you need a valid argument for that, so I understand why you two need to curse so much.. being wrong and all
To hell with striker fire weapons. If im going to spend 500 bucks of a pistol it would be a XD NOT a glock. Atleast Springfield has some kind of background. The only thing glock does is keeps trying to make a pistol worth having. When a company keeps coming out with the same thing only diffrent they are saying they havent got it right yet
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Watch Glock 1000 round torture test for more video of these shit weapons.
If Glock were worth a shit the military would have fielded them. Instead they use real weapons. Like the Sig for example. I would pit a Sig against a Glock anyday. No go watch the torture test. Count the fails and watch part two for the end of the Glock they used.
Same old USP for 7 years 12-15 thousand through it. It stops working ALL the time. I have found adding more ammo fixes it.
TRUE about the 1000 round test go watch it all you glock guys will be proud it only jams 6 times has mag release problems AND the guide rod falls out. GREAT WEAPON
How about recipts from ammo purchases adding up that high..
Easy to type, more difficult to prove it
Anyway, lets talk spring replacements.. how often have you replaced your springs?? Which springs did you replace? Are you an armorer? Who maintains your pistol?
HK....it's not clear by reading your post, i think you mean the glock guide rod falls out on the 1K round test, I can't find it yet- or were you refering to an hk? I don't think you would have that problem with an hk though.
thats glock for you

Legendary Reliability.... I bought a Glock 26 First time at the range the slide release spring broke and my slide fell and hit the ground. I had to send it in to Glock in Georgia and wait 6 - 8 weeks to get it back. My Smith and Wesson Sigma 9mm is still going strong after about a thousand rounds.

The spring can go over the locking block pin as easily as it's supposed to go under. Inserted the slide lock before the top pin can cause the confusion. I've done that before, the tension is less and i can tell the difference, thanks.

Interesting video. I have 4 glocks with the oldest being a G22 which is 16 years old and haven't had a single problem. I would agree most people shouldn't try to repair their own firearm if the don't know what they are doing. I would say the slide lock spring breaking after 14k rounds is probably a rare occurrence. And for anyone doubting the reliability of a Glock, ask yourself why over 65% of US law enforcement agencies issue Glock.

I see no answer really. Justify to me WHY you need to take your gun to an armorer to have a spring replaced when you could do it yourself easily in a minute or less. Do you take your car in to a professional mechanic to put air in the tires, or change the oil (since you like car analogies so much)?

That gun had "one foot on a banana peel and the other in the grave" for sure. Even the military m16's have a lifespan of 10-14k rounds before they are expected to start failing.

I'm just going on what he told me. I did not get to see the event, nor did I see the "pieces". There was nothing to be gained for him to lie to me in describing this encounter. The "torture tests" that was touted by glocks' video was a joke in that anyone with a brain, specifically knowing physics.....the tests were rigged. One could run over your own foot with any truck...and with soft gravel for your foot to sink into...bring on the truck. Think magic tricks.
RichardEllisxyz 2 years ago
I seriously doubt that Richard's buddy's Glock "shattered". More than likely it forced the slide forward past the slide lock and essentially dis-assembled itself. I have personally seen people beat the hell out of Glocks and fire them dry with only cosmetic damage. I wouldn't treat my 35 like that but I know it's tougher than it needs to be and will last practically forever.
ravepuppie 2 years ago 2
I'd bet that the glock in this video isn't out of commission, and based on the function of the glock, he could fire it still. now, i've seen guys take their glock, throw it against a tree, stomp on it (on concrete), pick it up and empty the mag. you cant tell me richard's friend's glock "shattered". they just don't. also that can happen if you put in the recoil spring backwards on some models. not saying that his wasn't broken, but there are multiple ways to recreate the symptom.
Twothievesareme 2 years ago
Cr0cket20, I can replicate that on my Glocks. I believe I read that it happens when you are holding the Glock at a downward angle when slamming the mag. I dont know if I would even call it an issue. A friends Ruger .45 does the same thing. Check out Glock Talk forums and do a search on it. I am pretty sure that is how it works for all Glocks but I am not an expert.

My G23 is 11yrs old (lots of rounds through, a rough guess ~5,000. I could be far off). When inserting a loaded mag with slide locked back, slide automatically moves forward loading first round.

That is like a $2 part.

If you have all those parts in your kit you will be golden! It is like $27 in parts!

If you are serious about training and being a good shooter you really need to purchase 2 of which ever gun you are going to carry. One to train and beat the hell out of and one to carry. Also, there are several system checks you can do on a Glock before you holster it for the day. One of which would have caught the issue at hand.
TacticalTupperware 2 years ago
I don't agree with you about the spare training gun, but that's OK
As for your concept of doing the Glock tests, how would they have determined this spring would break DURING training ?
Sure those tests will tell you if your pistol is OK at that moment, but I am not aware of any tests that will indicate that a spring will break after the next 200 rounds fired..
Good user name BTW
