glock question

[johnh]

Never handled one and was playing with a 22 today, felt good thinking about buying it, one question though is when racking the slide is it normal to hear the spring coil, almost squeak. i am used to shooting a kimber 1911 and a s&w 99. Any info is appreciated.

Yes.

I have not heard my spring squeak, but then I don't hear the high pitches to well anymore.

Wipe the spring with some CLP, then wipe off all excess. This should help.

Thanks for the info, just wanting to make sure before i buy it.

I was issued a new 22 back in the fall that had a noticeable squeek. It worked out in the first couple hundred rounds.

All new glocks squeek. My new 19 and 17 both do. My wife even made a comment about it. "is it so post to sound like that?"

Good to go.

Yep, all new Glocks I've had go "squeek & bang". The squeek goes away, the bang never does.

I have a G23 that is well exercised. I have never noticed and odd noises but it does rack very easy and smooth, but then again it is well exercised.

My 19 was a tad squeaky till I put about 300 rounds through it. Also, I noticed when you have the slide locked open, and you slap a loaded mag in, the slide will snap forward and chamber a round. I called Glock and they said about 80% of them do that and its not a big deal.

Used with no squeek.

No squeak +1

My roommate and I just bought glock 22's about a month ago now and they both had a squeak in the slide spring. We just put a little CLP on them, and now it is no more. I suppose if I was more patient and put more rounds through it, it would have stopped, but it was getting annoying when we were dry firing/practicing in the apartment.

Just bought a Glock 23 last week and it had the squeak. As soon as I oiled it properly as the owners manual states to do when brand new, the squeak went away.

WTF! You read the owners manual!?!

apparently he didnt, but never the less a drop of CLP on the slide spring helps the squeak.
