| Where can I find Norells spray paint. Also what would you all use. Norells or Duracoat? |

I just refinished the slide of my Glock M 21 slide and used Norells. I did it in Flat Black, turned out good. You can purchase it direct from their website: http://www.molyresin.com/molyresin_about.asp If you use Norells, make sure you either take out the plastic trigger pin sleeve or have a new one handy because the baking process will melt it. Not sure how you'd get it out, maybe someone here or on the Glock forums knows. To get a new one in, use a dowel to gently tap it in. One end is very slightly tapered to ease install. If you finish the frame, I'd do that in DC so I didn't have to bake it. It sounds like others on this site have baked them with success, but I personally wouldn't chance it. DC is a good product too and doesn't require baking. |
Use matt clear over the DC if you don't want shinny. The firing pin sleeve in a Glock is not meant to be taken out and put back in. Most of the time taking it out will destroy it. The easiest way is to use a screw just large enough to screw into the soft plastic and pull it out. |
I have completely dissasembled several of my Glocks and it is a major hassle to get the firing pin put back together DON'T TAKE IT APART. You don't need to. Just resist the urge. |
i am sure you have seen some shiney ones, would you call this one shiney>? no flash used and here is a shaded and nonshaded pic. DSICLAIMER: i am a noob when it comes to refinishing......oh, i used Duracoat. |

Nice Job!! Who is having problems with the firing pin? Jeez. Every time I clean mine EVERYTHING comes out but the mag release and spring. Do you guys not know how or do you not have the "special" Glock Armorer's tool or a punch to make it very easy?  It really is very simple. |
It's not the firing pin that were talking about. The firing pin slides in a plastic sleeve inside the slide. This plastic sleeve is not meant to be removed and put back in. Sometimes you get lucky, and sometimes you don't. The "Glock" armorer’s tool will not remove this piece. If you are not careful with the heat you can melt this sleeve if you leave it in. |
when i refinished my glock w/ krylon i removed everything from the frame except for the damn mag release and spring also....that thing was givin me a hell of a time and i figured if it was giving me that much trouble disassembling it i didn't wanna find out how hard it would be to reassemble it. |

good, i am glad to hear you may change your mind. |
No we're not talking about the two-piece spring cups. Those can be removed and are part of the firing pin assemble. There is a plastic "firing pin liner" that is in the slide and is pressed in. It is NOT meant to be removed and put back in. It does not just fall out, and most people don't even know it's there. If you get your oven too hot with Moly you can melt this part and you are up shit creek trying to clean it out and get a new one. I suggest you look up a schematic of the Glock and you will see what we're talking about. |
| I know about the firing pin sleeve because when I had the Glock stripped in prep to do the duracoat the Glock armor found it broken in half and another part installed backwards. ( I had sent the slide out to be hard chromed. I no not very tactical, but it looked nice) Any how the Glock still fired ( I didn't know about the problem.) Very impressed and blessed about the preformance of Glock. |
