I don't have a 43, so I can't be sure, but I don't think there is any way the trigger bar is in contact with anything in slide where yours is showing wear (scratches).

 

Lay your slide on its side with the FP safety down. Look at the piece that protrudes out from it. That would be the area where it's rubbing. If so, then that part of the TB may be misaligned. One way of knowing for sure is getting another TB and see if it still happens.

 

This wear on the right side of the trigger bar's firing pin safety actuating arm will occur if during recoil the arm is rubbing against the right side of its groove in the underside of the slide. I haven't seen enough used G43s to know if what is pictured in post #1 is typical for that model. The G43 has a firing pin safety that tolerates a wide range of TB FP actuating arm positioning, so this is likely harmless. However, were it me I would replace and test it with a new Trigger Pin and Trigger With Trigger Bar. I'd also check to see if the new-style compressed Trigger Spring assembly inside the Trigger Mechanism Housing is properly affixed to the Trigger Bar and is not somehow misaligning it.

This thread could use input from experienced G43 users.

 

Looks like that trigger bar is out of align, id replace it with a new one ...

 

What's the best place to order one?

 

Maybe it's a manufacturing defect? If it's wear, there should be corresponding wear on whatever it's rubbing against.

 

If you can send it to the Glock they will probably fix it for free.

 

That's just it. There's no marks at all on the slide. I'm thinking manufacturing defect as well at this point.

 

What's the best place to order one?

Check the Glock store, ndzperfomance, and maybe even Glock.com I'm not sure if they have them on their site yet or not ? http://www.rockyourglock.com/custom/glo33362.htm

 

I would let Glock handle the repair.

 

Mine looks nearly identical, 72 rounds through this one without a hiccup

 

I have similar wear on mine. I have about 500 rds down the pipe. It's rubbing on the inside of the slide on that side. I can see a line showing the path on the striker block. Move forward following the line of travel and you can see where it would rub during slide movement to the rear. . I see no marks on the slide as of yet. I think if the trigger bar is bent in it will cause a issue. The next time I get to the range I'll look at the gun with 10k down the pipe and see what is going on with it.

ETA I just checked my G19 gen 3, and G21SF gen 3 both have degrees of rubbing. The G21SF even has a nub to locate it relative to the slide. It is nice and shinny.

I don't think you have anything to worry about.

I'm just going to give mine a little hand polish as I can't feel any ridges when I run my finger across it.
Another 200 rounds and I'll have it broke in and have more confidence in it. It's dead accurate at 10 yards with 147 and 124 speer gold dots though!

 

Not normal. Suggest you give Glock a call. If the TB did not look that was when it was purchased there is a problem with the firearm. If it did look like that when purchased then Glock owes you a new TB. Either way, call them. (FYI they do not respond to email.)

I have two 43s, a Gen5 19 & several Gen 2s, 3s & 4s - none have TBs that look like yours.

 

Picking up my 43 Friday......will keep an eye on this thread as I break it in.

 

Its seems like it has manufacturing defect.

 

Mine has looked like that for over 2000 rounds. It goes bang every time so I ignore it. It’s never got any worse since the initial wear pattern was formed early on. If it gets worse I’ll concern myself with it.

 

I'm going to give Glock a call, but I'm inclined to pick up some Flitz, then head back to the range.

 

That wear point is not going to impact the geometry of that section. That is why I am not worrying about it. I'm very curious about it tho.

I agree with you TNRonin. It's just weird. I did call glock. He told me to email the photo over to him and he would take a look. I'll keep everybody posted...

 

That pic looked rough, not gonna lie. Was that grease or something?

Straight from Glock... "From the photo you have sent, the wear looks normal. We have a nickel coating on the parts and it will wear some at first, then it will stop. I do not think you have anything to worry about."
So, again, a little Flitz and back to the range... Thank you guys and gals for all of the input.

 

check your trigger connector [ghost connnector] it may not be all the way inserted, allowing it to push off and grind a bit. or you had some sort of debris in it.


put some polishing paste or heavy grease right there [bore butter] run another 100 rounds and reinspect.

 

It doesn't look much different than mine. Since that area must ride the cam built into the slide during normal operation I would expect the high points to eventually polish down/break in.

 

That point only touches on the reassembly. The inside next to the bbl is the rubbing point.

Ya, as others have said let glock know and a new 43 should be covered under warranty. They worked with me, but I stopped into the shop for the repair since I live nearby and the armorer was awesome.

 

Had to go look at my 37 Gen 3. No wear.

 

i'll have to check my 43 when i get home today and see if it has the same wear.
