Snidely Whiplash
New member
Just got a new Glock 19 and in my overzealous initial cleaning I got some oil into the striker / rear of the slide. I took apart the slide by following a couple of the YouTube instruction videos but I’m kinda worried if my reassembly is correct.
When I insert the firing pin safety plunger and depress same to insert the extractor there is nothing that really seems to hold either in place. If I do anything more than just lightly touching the extractor, the firing pin safety plunger and the extractor come out of the slide. All seems to be fine once I put the extractor depressor plunger into the rear of the slide and the extractor is held securely in place.
Is this normal?
