[17glock17]

My local gun store has been selling them, had a few issues with them. This might just be an isolated case, no internet wide spread rumors please. Not so long ago, I had my Gen 3 G17 and Gen 4 G19 slides Ceracoted. Went through Gunsite Academy with my G17 and no issues through 1500 rounds but my G19 hard jammed after maybe 25 rounds. Ended up being due to the striker channel liner not being replaced after the Ceracoting, caused the striker to jam up. We called Glock and they said the liner should be replaced after the Ceracoting as it could cause issues, like it did in my G19. Replaced, no issues in over a 1000 rounds since...replaced in my G17 as well. So same thing supposedly happened to a few local customer fully FDE guns. The shop called Glock and Glock sent them a bunch of sleeves to replace the current ones as it is believed they were not replaced after the Ceracote.

I just checked mine. It has the channel liner.

Sweet gun. Now go shoot the snot out of it.

I think they look nice, & want one in a G31 or G21 both Gen4. I'm also wondering how the finish will hold up?

Probably the same as any other professionally applied cerakote finish...

I don't think the issue is whether the liner is there or not. If a Crerakote applicator doesn't remove the liner or if they fail to replace it after they are done; the heat process may slightly warp the plastic. It may be hard to see the damage. If you have one of these guns, I'd look into swapping the part. It's only a dollar or two. If the gun is only a range toy, no big deal. If it's a CCW, I'd make sure.

If the liner is damaged it will come right out when you move the striker assembly.

I spoke with Jason, Product Development, at Lipsey's this morning. He is over the Glock Full FDE project and was the Lipsey's Rep on the Gunblast video featuring the same. He stated that if anyone had issues with the channel liner in their Lipsey's Cerakoted Glocks, to email their info and weapon SN for verification. He will send you a new channel liner. Email is info@lipseys.com

Just purchased a like new 34 and would love this finish on it - are there companies who can apply a finish like this?

Thanks
