Glock damage: advice please?
 

Lent an old glock to a friend for a shooting competition and he returned it damaged citing the glock was faulty. Anyone had something similar hZappen like this before?

A bit puzzled.

Looks like it's "faulty" as he couldn't run his tank over it. Yeah....that looks like some abusive behavior there.

That looks like it was used as a test gun for someones super hot reloaded ammunition locked in a vise. No way you would not get injury from that type of damage fired by hand.

Agreed, what do the slide and barrel look like?
Is there a bulge or stuck round in the barrel?
:mad:

Glock Pistol Damage:
 

Some early manufactured Glock pistols DID NOT have a FULLY SUPPORTED barrel and if +P+ ammo or if non commercial ammunition was used in the cartridge fired in the pistol the damage to the pistol could look like your pistol:

You need a new Glock ...

... and a new friend.

Hi

Avtar Þórr Singh ahh. Both barrel and slide are intact with no signs of damage other then normal wear and tear

I concur with the above. Someone used some very hot ammo. He’d be buying me a new gun.

Ok. Truth now comes out from the guy who borrowed the glock.

Person tried to strip down the weapon without much gunsmithing knowledge.. seems they tried to pry the frame off without removing pins as well as pry the trigger group out.

You can buy an 80% frame for $130 or so and build it out with your parts if you are feeling generous.

Or lay a good ass-whoopin' on him till he replaces the pistol.

I am pretty much at the point where I have quit loaning my weapons to people who are not kin or who don't possess adequate collateral.

Definitely his fault. Looks to me like they tried to disassemble it without pulling the trigger first and got carried away. Three pins are pretty much all that hold a Glock together.

He owes you a complete new gun. Total negligence.

The above. Taught my 11yo grand-son to field-strip a Glock in 1 minute (not counting clearing procedure). They are stupid easy to disassemble, let alone just field strip which doesn't require removing any pins. There is obviously a level below stupid that should not even be handling high-pressure garden hose nozzles and that one owes you a new OEM pistola.

Concur with the earlier comments - he owes you a new gun and you need a new friend. Personally, I'd get the new gun before I "ghosted" him though. TR's suggestion to keep the damaged one and reuse the components on an 80% lower is a good way to have your cake and eat it too. Annoying and inconvenient but you come out ahead in the long run.

The term "tool-bag" comes to mind - but to label such sillyness with the term "tool bag" is such a grave injustice to innocent bags with which one might carry tools.


...you should ask if you can borrow his car.
