Hello all- I recently bought a new Glock 21C, and am having some trouble. No matter what i do, i cannot get the slide to release from the frame. I don't know if there's a defect or if the problem is me, but following the instructions for dissasembly 100% isn't working. The slide won't come loose or forward off of the frame, after about 1000 times of trying. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! -D |

What are the first three letters of the serial number? Second, make sure that the trigger is not in the forward position before attempting to dissasemble. Does the slide move at all forward and stop at a certain point before completly dismounting, or does it not budge at all? |

Try this - this is common with NY1 or NY2 trigger springs. A: Show clear and ensure empty chamber. <--- VERY IMPORTANT! B: Dry fire. C: Pull back on slide slightly and pull down takedown levers. If the slide moves forward slowly and does not want to come off the frame, while pulling the trigger back - attempt to remove the slide. |
They're incredibly heavy trigger springs that makes democrats happy and your groupings stink. Hmm. Are you sure that the trigger is all the way back before you pull down the takedown levers? I've made the mistake of attempting disassembly with the trigger forward. |

Well in the concept of being a nice guy.... I've got my cellphone around the house somewhere and my glocks in the trunk of my car if you want to attempt some type of tech support in reverse. I had help with my Kimber when I first got it, so I've got to "pay it forward". |
He got it off. No more problems. |

>>Out of curiosity, what are NY1 and NY2 trigger springs?<< NY-1 and -2 springs are replacement springs that are more durable than the standard spring and provide a more positive reset in exchange for a slightly heavier trigger pull. Lots of combat shooters prefer them. |
Personally I think they suck. There's more of a chance to jerk the trigger before the overly heavy trigger breaks than there is a benefit to the arguably faster reset. |
