The plastic spring loaded bearing for the extractor is broken. The extractor plunger is there, but the extractor is MIA. The edge on the firing pin safety is a bit rolled. I don't know if this is from normal wear or not.

My barrel was dirty. Very dirty, I would say no.

The crack in the frame goes from just behind the G to the rear of the trigger.

Sorry. I didn't take a pic of my blackened hand. I cleaned it up and went off to shoot my AR:D
 
look carefully at your slide to see if there is any damage from the extractor being thrown out. In the picture of the slide, it looks like there is a crack right in the middle of the blue tape. If there is no other damage, it looks like all you need is a frame and extractor.
The other ones I have seen have way more damage.

The wear on the firing pin safety is normal wear.

The slide is good. They'res no crack there.

I sent an email to Police Ordnance to see if they can give me a ballpark budget for repair. If I can get a frame for $75, I would be real happy!

I would suspect they will want the gun sent to them, they will not send out the frame. So there will be a bit of shipping charges and other bs to fix this.

On the bright side they will take care of all the paperwork with changing over your registration

Here is a picture of the Glock iterations. The early Glocks suffered from unsupported cases but Glock made some changes and the new ones, as TDC correctly observed, are as supported as any of the pistols he illustrated.

You are missing a picture, I bought some new Gen 3 or 3.5 Glocks this past year and they have an even more supported chamber and the feedramps look different, almost like a square shovel.
 
I butchered a Glock frame once... had it replaced. I forget price but it was in the hundreds; still cheaper than a whole new gun.

Good luck!
 
@DaveC- were you the one at P&D a few days ago talking about this? If so hey! I was the guy you were talking to about a new frame. Like I said if you want to stick with a glock maybe look into importing a metal frame from the states if possible. Also rolling your own is always a good idea ;)

If your looking into a new metal frame handgun the CZ is a Nice choice or a Browning HP in .40 if you want to stick to that caliber.

It is a violation of the Explosives Act to transfer a remanufactured "safety cartridge" that has not been tested and approved by NRCan, regardless if they are given away or sold.

This thread is Exhibit A as to why such a policy exists.

The 9mm is a high pressure round, approx 30,000psi, similar to .40 cal.

The 45 acp is a 19K psi cartridge. If double charged....probably closer to 40,000psi?...my guess is as good as anybody's. The 1911 is not designed to handle kaboom level pressures, although I heard that proof tests are done at twice the normal pressure.

Anyway, many believe the G22 kb issue is due to less case support in its chamber.




I believe this is a CYB (cover your butt) warning by Glock's lawyers. I have shot a few magazines of lead bullets through my G17. No issues with leading. If you want to shoot lead, try one magazine at a time. Check your bore with a borelight so you clearly see the rifling or the lead fouling.

Read other forums and you will see some Glock shooters who shoot 2-300 rounds of lead bullets through their polygonal barrels and no kaboom or harmfull effects. The key is keeping the bore as clean as possible. If one knows the "limits" of his Glock and understand bullets or reloading them, it should be ok to shoot lead, but if anything bad happens, your SOL.

You make good points about lead.

And just to add to that, the hardness of lead bullets varies from pure lead (very soft which can cause significant leading in any barrel) to much harder and does not lead anywhere near as easily. Properly lubed lead bullets help to prevent leading as well.

I would be very cautious running pure lead home cast bullets in a polygonal barrel and regular cautious running harder lead alloy properly waxed bullets in a glock.
 
Hardness of the alloy used is very much dependent on the application. The key to preventing leading is proper sized boolits and the lube used. WW alloy works well is virtually all pistol applications. Pure lead would be to soft for most pistol and rifle applications.

Man I feel safer already. Nothing like the nanny state to look after all of us.
