I just received my new Glock 48 and noticed a lot of slop or play on the front of the slide and the polymer frame, side to side. I can wave the gun left and right and it makes a click click as it hits the stops. I know glocks aren’t made like steel gun tolerances. I also own 3 other glocka as well as 3 other polymers from other manufacturers but I have never seen this much play. Anyone else experience this with their new 48 or any other glock?
Slide play on brand new Glock 48

I’m curious how it shoots off a rest. People get cranky about play in an AR receiver to lower, but that has minimal impact. Sorry I can’t add much otherwise; my Glocks would be antique now.

My secondhand G19 gen 3 has slop with the slide receiver fit , my G17 gen 4 has none , both shot the same , as long the barrel to slide lock up is tight, you're good.
But if it really bothers you, there are a few gun smiths out there who can tighten up the slide rails for a better fit .

My thing is a brand new gun shouldn’t need to be brought into a gunsmith. I haven’t shot it yet and it probably shoots fine but even walking around with it , it makes a racket. my 3 other glocks dont make a noise ar all.

Are you sure it’s not the firing pin rattling around?
Unlikely with a Glock...

It's actually part of the function test to check the free movement of the firing pin. What the company refers to Glockenspiel
