    Default OMG! My Glock has pig snout

    Never realized that I am supposed to be very unhappy with the slide-to-frame gap at the muzzle end of my G23. The gap isn't evenly spaced all along from back to front. At the front couple of inches, the gap tapers down by half at the front end. Worse, there is a (measured) overbite of .012". And Gaston Glock claims perfection??

    But wait. It was born in November of 2004. Although it bears no police department marks, it was represented to be. The left side of the slide at the muzzle end has what is probably holster wear. It is possible the pig snout was formed over many years by pressure from a holster. Hence, the reason it is called used.

    I guess I am more fortunate than some, who are upset that their Glock has pig snout brand new, out of the box, and didn't know to look for it, until discussion appeared in an online website.

    Meanwhile, I so worry, day and night, that I must pull the trigger to field strip it...

    All Glocks are garbage. I buy them for $1 and sell them for scrap metal.

    If you're slightest bit OCD and wish to attempt to correct the appearance "The Yankee Marshall" has a YouTube vid where he heats up the lower with a heat gun and bends it straight. FWIW. For me as long as it functions it's not worth the bother & risk of my screwing it up worse.

    I think your supposition is wrong.

    Rules are written in the stone,
    Break the rules and you get no bones,
    all you get is ridicule, laughter,
    and a trip to the house of pain.
