Glock frame appears warped ???

[Brianma65]

Hey there,
Just looking at my new to me Glock 17 gen 4 (Austria).
The frame appears warped,as you can see light between the slide and the lower,except at the muzzle area.

Is this normal?

I remember commenting on this when I worked for a Calgary retailer some years ago (this would be on the Gen 2/3 17's). Yes, it's normal and does not affect the function of the firearm.

It's normal. Shoot away

And its not limited to the 17... my 21 gen3 and 4 and my 41 have that as well. It's a Glock thing.

There is a custom shop in the states that fixes this...

Idk why glock makes em that way but it's normal

They are not all that way, just most of them!

You should see it bend when firing lol. There's slow motion videos out.

I've owned three Glock 17's. All have suffered from pignose in the picture. Here's a fix if you are so inclined... (remove space between w's)

... Here's a fix if you are so inclined...

Ha!...when I scrolled down and saw the pic of the q-tips for the first time...I laughed out loud...thinking that was the fix...and that you shoot the gun with the q-tips "installed"! Stupid of course...but that was my first reaction...like the kid with the pencils up his nostrils. Talk about "pig nose".

That flops around worse than an AK47 barrel... I expect this video will go through my mind next time I'm shooting the 21. I always thought this curl was manufactured intentionally... not that it would provide much in the way of support to the slide and the rails. There are some interesting videos on that youtube channel.

OP It's not a Glock "lower", it's the frame/receiver.

That's Glock perfection.

Just looked at the video, wow thats a lot of twisting/warping !
