Glock 19 Gen 4

[BurgerMcDo]

Hello guys,

Recently I bought a Glock 19 gen 4 and shoot 400 rounds to break it in. I noticed the wear on top of the barrel that makes contact with the slide. I know that's normal but my questions is what the wear is not even? The wear is a little bit thicker on the right.

Is the gun accurate? Nothin that is made for under $600-800 will be machined to tolerances of .0001" so it is not surprising that you see slightly more rubbing on one side tah the other. If all else worls well, just enjoy the gun.

By the way, did you try out a S&S M&P before buying the Glock?

Ive been looking at the 4th gens for the past 2 weeks. All the local shops have it for $599. Seems a bit high to me. What prices are you all seeing?

Right now I am shooting between 8 and 10 o'clock. it could be my grip and trigger control. but I want to make sure first that the gun is mechanically accurate.

My local shop have both Glock and M&P for military pricing. I choose glock because I like the trigger better.
For Law Enforcement and Military it $409.00

Picture? From the sounds of it, its normal. Though wear at the top of the barrel with only 400 rounds seems a bit premature. My Gen 4 17 has a bit of wear at the bottom of the barrel, but none at the top...I have about 2k rounds through mine.
Do you put a drop of oil on the barrel after cleanings?

To add a little more, the black coating on the barrel is just cosmetic. The Steel itself is tenifer treated, and will not rust and is extremely resistant to meaningful wear. So in the end, don't worry about the black finish rubbing off...it will happen eventually to any barrel.

Here is the picture. You can see the right side has a thicker wear. yeah I am not worried about the black coating. My main question, does this affect the pistol's accuracy. Because I tend to shoot left with this glock. Just want to verify if the pistol is mechanically accurate. Thanks

I guess I made a mistake initially I shoot the pistol immediately from the box without checking proper lubrication. though it was only after the first 200 rounds.

Btw How about the internal parts, like trigger assembly and recoil spring. Do they have some sort of corrosion/rust protection? Because I am thinking of polishing my trigger bar with flitz but have 2nd thoughts because it might remove the protective coating.

In my area glocks are always priced exactly the same, no sales. G3's in 19/17/22/23/26/27 are $499 and the G4's are $549. the 21's are always about $570.

100% normal.

It's a Glock, they need little lube to run a long time.

That's MAP pricing that dealers have to follow, and since everyone is selling at MAP you won't find anyone going lower. Plus the fact that dealers only make about $20 a gun because while everyone knows what dealer MAP is, most don't know what distributor MAP is, and how much more the distributors sell to dealers for. It's even worse with the law enforcement/military/first responder/security discounted guns.

Where is shoots has nothing to do with the accuracy. Sights might need a little adjusting. Group size indicates accuracy. Glocks ship with lube. And don't need much.

Totally normal wear you are experiencing.

Low and left is typical for a new Glock user. This is entirely due to your (lack of) trigger control. Focus on slowly squeezing the trigger straight back instead of just pulling it and jerking the gun off line and you'll see an instant improvement.

As you contracting your index finger your other fingers are naturally closing shifting your sights slightly left.

It happens. If you take any Glock courses they actually ask if you are right or left handed to show you how you can adjust the sights slightly to correct for the natural tendency for this to happen.
