Glock Problem

choda_boy · June 6th, 2005, 03:33

Hey my buddy just bought a Glock 18c KSC and its ummm wellll screwed... I think... when he shoots the WHOLE slide pops off, actually its blows off. Looking down the barrel the slide after a couple of shots sometimes it does it in the first shot but its comes off of the left side whats wrong????

Does it have a plastic slide and did you use propane or green gas with it?

If so, you used too strong a gas.

choda_boy · June 6th, 2005, 03:53

Yes its plastic and we used green and Propane.... is it screwed???? But they sold him Green with the gun should it be using Duster???

You should generally use duster with plastic slides. If you inspect the thing and see no cracks, then just switch to duster and it should be fine. If there is a crack, it would probably have been on the slide instead of the frame.

If it is cracked, you need to buy a new slide, either plastic or metal. Plastic is cheaper and you must use the weaker duster gas. Metal is expensive, requires the stonger green gas/propane, and possibly an upgraded spring guide (but is much better looking, feeling, and blowbacking/recoilingilingiling).

FullAuto Glocks with propane and a plastic slide are just asking to be broken.

Where did he buy it from?

TheYellowDart · June 6th, 2005, 17:45

So is it broken for sure? Did he try duster? It might still work if there is a little bit of damage. Getting a plastic slide for it shouldn't cost more than $25.

If you're in the Vancouver area, I might be able to take a look at it for you.

My buddy took it back to the store and when he told them the problem the one store guy said that was the glock that wasnt supposed to be sold because they were aware of the problem. But one of the other guys sold him it, But all is good now they replaced it.

Hi I just bought a KJ Works Glock 23 gas blow back with a metal slide about a week ago from a local paint ball retailer but he didn't have much info about the gun or its fetures. But i took it out for the first time and played with it and had quite a bit of fun with it until it droped out and on the dirt and it jammed and wouldn't fire anymore. So i brought the firearm home and took it apart to clean it out and re lub it but its now not getting any gas through and not working at all. Can someone please help me or guide me in the right direction please
