G30SF trigger bar/failure to return to battery

[glockmaster]

Hey I've seen multiple posts about this happening with these guns. Something about some abnormal wear on the trigger bar and FTRTB. Does anyone know if this problem has been corrected with the newer versions or does anyone have any success stories with these guns. I put one on layaway yesterday because it felt good in my hand, but now I'm getting nervous after reading some of these reviews and am wondering if I should change my mind. Thanks

Think I have the answer to my own question because nobody else seems to. Went ahead and picked up that used but never fired G30SF. Its birthday was 8/31/09. From what I've read the ones with the problems were from around spring of 09, don' know if that matters or not. Anyway, took it to the range today for the first time and not one issue with it. Same Glock reliability I have come to know and love. Granted I only shot 50 rounds (.45 ammo is damn expensive...) Another couple hundred flawless rounds and I will feel comfy carrying it.

P.S. Met another PAFOA member today while at the range... Bonus!

The Trigger bar 4256-1 has been discontinued in the G30,G30sf,G29 and G29sf and the replacement is the 4256-1- ,,notice the extra - after the 1.
If you don't have a problem than your good to go

If you field strip the pistol, you will see a rub mark on the bottom of the slide and on the side and top of the trigger transfer bar.

If you field strip,, the top of the trigger bar is marked with the number,,if your gun functions fine it wasn't affected and your fine..no need for new trigger bar

Shit, mine doesn't have that extra dash at the end. Does that mean I'm gonna have a problem? Does Glock send you out a new trigger bar for free???

Re-read my post,,if your gun functions fine you don't need it ,,,, I'm guessing the minor alternation they may have made to the trigger bar was to fix the FTRB problem a limited amount of guns had..They are just installing that Trigger bar in certain model new guns now instead ,,so if your having no problems you don't need the new Trigger bar

Thank you, my mind is at ease now. Time to hit the range again!!!!

Just because you are not having trouble now, doesn't mean its all good to go. My G21sf has the groove (not just a rub) on the trigger bar. It functions fine, but it has been argued that the grooves on the trigger bars that are affected can weaken and eventually lead to breakage. I've never had a ftrb with it, and I keep an eye on the groove. I can get another trigger bar, but the same thing will eventually happen since they have not made a replacement to solve the problem in the G21sf.
