Hallelujah I got my Glock 17 back from Glock GA! Complete with 23 new parts, including a connector, striker assembly, and slide. Glock certainly takes care of its customers.
It got broke from too much dry-firing. There was a cone-shaped hole around the striker hole in the breech. The round count was several thousand. With lots of dry-firing. Glock replaced the slide free of charge.
