If I get even more frustrated by the little children on this forum I might just snapping every Glock I get my hands on

 

It’s ok all these people here just jump to conclusions without reading through the conversation… now they got me replying to myself for comfort.

 

You intentionally broke one to show people that they could be broken…?

Is everything okay at home?

 

I guess I’m pretty miserable but who isn’t?
I broke it. It’s ok this one has a chamber looser than a French whore.230 rounds fired and all but 20 of them split the casings open and after that many split casings the gas cutting that happened to the chamber pretty much destroyed the weapon anyway so it’s a total loss now.I’m just tired of people not believing in me and when I show proof I thought it would help but no I don’t feel any better about my mistakes.and ridicule or false assumption of what occurred kind of triggered me.

 

He's just showing us that it's a weak point by removing the finish with a chisel and a dremel. lol just kidding....

The finish wear arch is clearly because there's a single pivot point for that lever (the spring) and it's moving around a lot with recoil (and fidgety people probably doing silly things).

It's not actually taking any impact in those wear areas. They're scratches from up and down movement. There is zero finish wear in the center at the pivot point.

Loc has a lot of issues with his guns and I don't think any of it is Glock's fault.

Nice try — but it’s called a slide STOP for a reason just try to think if you’re finger tip would have to do the same job as this part.lol it would rip your finger tip off!!

 

Slide stop

Slide lock

 

Symantec nonsense the take down lever Stops the slide from coming off STOPS it. The so called slide stop can also be called a slide release! Quick pretending that your smarter than you really are.

I don't care what word you use, whether slide stop or slide lock... Read the rest of what I wrote.

lol this is a perfect example of why I prefer to use "take down lever". Slide stop, slide release, slide lock, all these terms get mixed up too frequently.

 

You can always use the parts list reference...

I live in the world of extremely technical discussions. It's almost always easier to just adopt the terminology of the person you're talking to, even if it's wrong, so you don't waste all your time debating unimportant points and you can get to what is important.

 

What does "extremely technical" mean? What's important is to use the proper terminology. Call Glock and ask for a "take down lever" or "slide release". They are going to respond with "Are you talking about a Glock?"

What DOES extremely technical mean? - see how that works? lol We can all be anal about grammar.

Software engineering and system architecture for the largest corporations in the world leads to extremely technical discussions. Often times including people that are not technical.

 

Oh, well I only have a Masters Degree in Mechanical Engineering, so what did you say your undergraduate degree was?

 

lol ahh I get it now, this is clearly the d* measuring contest that we all came here for. That's your motivation. 😂
Not interested. Enjoy correcting everyone's grammar.

 

So are you having trouble understanding the question? Wrong terminology? Where did you go to college? Did you earn a degree? And if so, what was your undergraduate degree? I mean you said extemely technical

 

I provided enough information without being personally identifying. This isn't a job interview and I don't owe you specifics about my life beyond that. I will agree to disagree.

 

Folks, learning the proper names of parts of equipment can be a handy thing. Especially if you're trying to communicate with the equipment maker, or learning to support, maintain and repair gear made by a company.

Sure, in the revolver world one company calls an assembly a yoke, and another calls it a crane. One calls a part a Hand, and another calls it a Pawl. Both terms can be understood and work when talking in general terms. If at any point some imprecise name or term may cause a problem in communication (like ordering parts), though, the miscommunication was avoidable.

In the meantime, magazine, clip and stick are always popular terms that can generate debate.

Words mean things. Specificity and particularity can matter. Will not using precise terms matter? Hopefully hindsight won't result in a cautionary tale for a lot of us.

 

So the question was not "extremely technical" enogh for you? You didn't provide anything because you don't have anything to provide. Either you have an undergraduate degree, or you don't. I could say I worked for NASA or JPL, but I didn't. "Largest corporations in the world?" Is there an app for that? Anyone who has a bachelor of science degree knows the first thing you do is to defince the terminology used in the text.

No worries, don't believe me.

 

I don't. Why would the "largest corporations in the world" hire someone without a valid degree?
