I'd like to pile on the excessive lube bandwagon..
I just put a touch of slide glide on each lug and fire away...

I also wanted to be on page 300...

In honor of page 300, I picked up a G26… I just love that cute little thing… It's like a baby rattlesnake, cute and deadly!

I suppose it could be gunk built up on the gun...

This is a crop and 25% reduction of the original image that the OP posted. When I first glanced at the original I read the irregularities--especially the middle one--on the left rail as being a gouge into the surface of the rail. But now that I look at it more closely it could be something on top of the rail. As for the 'stuff' sitting on the frame under and in front of the right rail; that too I reacted to the bright/shiny/reflective quality of the the gunk and assumed that it was metal bits that I was looking at. But with the amount of oil on this gun I now also think that it's just too hard to tell for sure what it is.

Oh, and congrats on 300...but just think how fast it'll be to get to 400 if only Glock would release that single-stack 9mm.

So far, no signs of the cracks spreading into the lower part of the frame.
Might turn out to be a decent pistol after all.

Did you call Glock about the cracked frame?

From his previous post...
So yes, he did..

I doubt I would have been able to see these cracks in the poor lighting of the shop anyway.
A perusal of the Internet revealed that others had also suffered the same fate but in some instances, GLOCK did not have to replace the frame (they actually removed the vertical portions from the cracks rearward (stress relief by removal).
In my case it appears that the cracks may have already spread to the main upper portion of the frame so stress relieving it may not be possible depending upon how deep these protrude into the frame.

My options are to;
1) Spend the $61 to ship it to GLOCK and take a chance they can fix the frame (stress relieve it) making any future issues somewhat covered by them
2) Spend the same $61 and let GLOCK replace the frame gratis (as some have said they do) with a (downgrade) Gen 3 frame (I would then sell the pistol)
3) Spend the $61 plus another $100 (if they don't warranty it) to downgrade the frame to a Gen 3 (I won't actually do this *)
4) Just stress relieve the frame myself (well within my capabilities) keep a close eye on it in the future and take my chances.

ZZZ...

You stated your pistol was a Gen 4..
Which model is it?
What caliber is it?

As stated in several previous messages, I emailed them and their response was to send the pistol to them.
I did not want to sink any more money into the pistol (shipping) even if they decided to fix the pistol gratis, as I absolutely do NOT want a GEN 3~4 finger groove frame.
I bought a Gen 2 because I specifically wanted a Gen 2.

This seems to be working for now and I'm not out any additional money.
Since it will only be a range toy anyway, I'll just keep a close eye on it.
