Glock 17 barrel in a G19 (fixed, instructions inside)

[sone]

Just got a new gen 4 G19! Awesome! Naturally, the first thing I do is pull out my gen 3 G17 to do a little side by side comparison.

Being the curious mother ####er that I am, I decide to try my G17 barrel in the G19 (only because the G19 came with the chrome Lonewolf barrel, not a black one). Now, I've got a G19 with a G17 barrel in it that will not go into battery (stops about .5cm short), and I can't remove the slide (stops about .5cm after the end of the frame). The pistol will lock back.

Any ideas? I am unsure as to why the pistol will not function with the other barrel, but really I just want to get it out.

Is the trigger in the rear ward position?

If so, manually pull it toward the front of the trigger guard. This should free it.

The trigger will not set. I found a link on Glock Talk with a video that shows how to fix it. Apparently doing what I did is just a bad idea. LOL

Here is the video for reference (video shows a gen 3 G19, not a gen 4): http://s142.photobucket.com/user/glockm_35/media/17barrelina19Glock.mp4.html

Fixed! Had to remove the slide cover plate, remove firing pin assembly, then the slide came off.

Huh,,,, Don't feel bad Sone, I woulda done the exact same thing .....
thanks for the heads up ...
SO now that you have tried it, can you see what the difference is .
are they different barrels, or is it the frame or locking block .
that are different

Same thing came up the other day http://www.canadiangunnutz.com/foru...rel-question?p=9562185&viewfull=1#post9562185

Different locking lugs.

Length of the rifled part of the bbl with the chamber.

You a GTG with a 106mm bbl

You are both right (kinda-ish)

Yeah full size Glock (G17) barrels doesn't work in Compact (G19) guns.

it would have a custome third party barrel in it, so am I correct that no general prohib on the g19, as long as barrel is compliant i am good to go?

Barrel length determines classification. All restricted glock compacts and subcompacts have aftermarket 4.25" barrels.
