Send it back to Glock for the once over. They will replace most internals for free. Refinish for another 60 bucks, add in a new set of night sites for another 60. If they find a flaw in it, they will replace the whole thing.
Really? So who is their American distributor? I wouldn't send it back to Austria, would I? I suppose I'd also be paying an FFL transfer fee both ways? Obviously, I have no experience with Glocks.
Thanks everyone. I don't care about the looks, I'm only concerned with the functionality.
Maybe I should just take it apart and learn how to strip this thing down to its pieces? That's tempting.
Do Glocks ever actually wear out? I mean what are we talking here 50,000+ rounds?

Which is to say it's going to be an ugly gun whether it's refinished or not.drgrant;2567387 [B said:*[/B]*** refinishing, not necessary. It's a Glock.

Replace all the springs and check the extractor and firing pin for chips and replace if needed. I usually replace the spring cups too when I do the firing pin spring just for the hell of it.
Just keep in mind if you send it to Glock you probably won't see it back for 3 months..
Shoot it. It didn't get like that because it was giving someone a hard time.
I would send it to glock for all new wear parts. Then when it got back i would replace all the parts they didnt. They are simple to detail strip. Dont bother with glock refinishing it. Its just a cold blue you can do yourself its not the same tough factory finish like when you get a new gun.
If your going to carry it dont bother and if you want a nice finish cerakote it ior something like that .
And be careful when you say cheap if you put a lot of money in it. New glocks can be had for 500 if you shop around wisely.
I think we have a winner. I just ran a hundred rounds through this thing and it shoots like a champ. My only complaint is my hand is kinda small and I have to reposition my hand to reach the magazine release. I believe a 27 fits my hand better. It ran all the rounds without a single hiccup, so I bet it's just a workhorse gun that will keep on pounding rounds.
