my only loss was the shipping to glock, they hammered me on over night shipping for 90 bucks funny they want you to send it over night but the send it regular fedx makes no sense. they claim they don't want it in the system for very long Yeah o.k.

just glad I didn't get stuck with it.

I reinspected my 1994 manufacture Gen 2 G19 *very* closely and could find zero evidence of cracks starting, so I sent it to Glock this past Saturday for the preventative relief cut.

Just got an email from FedEx today that Glock has sent me a package using 2-day delivery. I'm assuming they would have contacted me had they declined to perform the work, so hopefully this means I'll have it back in my possession by Thursday.

Did you tell them not to replace the frame with a gen 3 ?

I didn't specifically tell them that, but based on what I've read, they would have had to call me to ask whether I wanted to wait for a matching serial number replacement frame, or if I wanted then to send a different serial frame right away to my FFL.

XLT, have you thought about getting someone to delete the finger grooves on a gen3 or gen4 and add stippling? That would solves your finger groove problems. I don't like finger groove either but have lived with them for so long now! One day I will send off one of my 19s and see how it turned out.

David,

the finger groove thing isn't that big of a deal to me, I just wanted a gen 2 as another g19 to have a around. I just wasn't aware of the cracking issue until I picked it up. guess I should have researched it a little more.

Got my Gen 2 back today, with the frame cut performed and a full frame parts rebuild for no charge (I sent them a mostly stripped frame, except for the mag release mechanism and slide lock... But they even replaced those parts while they were at it).

They received the gun Monday morning and had it back en route to me Tuesday night/Wednesday morning, and in my hands Thursday. Cost me $76 to ship overnight UPS with $500 insurance.
