I just got a new Glock 26 and am wondering if this is correct. When the slide is locked back I can wiggle my barrel a bit from side to side. This seems normal; just like the 45 and many other pistols. However I can also move the barrel forwards and backwars about half a cm. Is this normal, or did my first dissasembly result in trouble? Everything seems to function fine. I have not yet taken it to the range though.

That's the way it's supposed to be, my 26 and 27 do the same thing.

yup its normal, very normal, having a rigid barrel would put stress on it when fired.  Thats why when you build shock proof buildings you make them 'float'.  same concept in those 'free floating' barrels in rifles and in pistols

When the slide is to the rear, the gun's action is unlocked and should have some play in it to allow for proper feeding/ejection.

Once it returns to battery, you should not be able to move the barrel whithout moving the slide.

If this is the case, then your gun is just fine.

It's broken beyond repair. I suggest that you send it to me immediately, I'll pay shipping.........
