I had a brain fart while I was field stripping my Glock 17. I accidentally removed the slide while a mag was in. There was some resistance when i was trying to slide the slide off of course, but a light push was enough to slide it off. It made a light but nasty sound. Did I just fubar my Glock? The slide still locks and everything seems to be working normally... I'm just really anal when it comes to my guns.

It won't be a problem. We've probably all done that.

Just make sure in the future you remember to prove you weapon properly. Drop the mag,rack it several times,lock the slide back,check for obstructions and then and only then commence disassemby.
I don't want to sound condescending but I'm sure some accidental discharges are caused this way. The proper clearing method is not used and the operator tries to disassemble with a loaded Mag. The steps are forgotten by the operator and the hammer is dropped with a live round in the chamber. Although you didn't have a loaded mag in the pistol this time.

^^^ There is no hammer in a glock
Yes ensure your firearm is safe which consists of removing the mag. PROVE remember that one don't you
Internal hammer then. If that is the only fault you can see in what I said maybe everyone should just continue the way they do business as long as they aren't around me when they do it.

Whatever. Carry on.
considering that to disassemble a glock you have to pull the trigger, it may be a good idea to take the mag out
and clear the firearmanyhow, it should be fine - put it together and run through a few tests

precisely,or is it exactly.
Huh? No you don't.
What is the difference between an internal hammer and a striker? This isn't a flame, I've always wondered.
I do too, I was just saying it's not necessary... in terms of the gun itself.

IF you have proven the pistol properly, you do have to pull the trigger.
Leet press checks off Call Of Duty 5 are the reason people fricken shoot themselves. You can't inspect the feed path, the chamber, then look down the barrel if you are holding the thing open partially.
