My son's Gen4 G19 was mishandled by someone (sad story), resulting in the slide being rendered inoperative. Does Glock ever offer any credit toward a replacement in cases like this?
He only needs a stripped slide. Is my best option to post a WTB here in the classifieds?This message has been edited. Last edited by: qcsmitty,

Don't know about Glock offering credit or some such, but factory slides shouldn't be hard to find and, probably even easier, any number of aftermarket slides.

I don't know about about Glock but lots of people are buying custom slides for their Glocks these days so factory ones are selling pretty reasonably on gun classifieds. I've seen a lot on AR15.com

What did they do to it, to render it inoperable? Those things can take a beating.

Maybe somebody did a "drop test"...
Beware of a man whose only pistol is a 1911, he's probably very good with it.

Suffice to say, it was dropped on concrete on the muzzle.

I like your sense of humor.

Was the round tab where the RSA sits bent? That happened to a Glock 19 at work. When it was brought to me the story was basically "nobody knows how this happened. It was in the safe that way"
Right.
In any event I sent the entire gun back to Glock. They replaced the slide and RSA. $180. Of course, 8 don't know if that is special LE Agency pricing or not.

This would be a good solution. My son was planning on calling Glock on Monday. Thanks.

Why would you expect a company to cover the cost of someone damaging the product through "mishandling?"

Thumper, my son called Glock this morning and will receive a complete new slide for $180 in exchange for the damaged slide.
Outstanding gesture on Glock's part.
