Glock 43 reassembly issue

[DKH1986]

Hey guys,

 

I just picked up my G43 second hand.  I field stripped it to give it a good cleaning.  Upon reassembly, the slide would not fill return to its normal seated position, and he barrel and recoil spring were sticking out of the front slightly.  The trigger was reset, so I was unable to get the slide off without a dry fire.  I was able to dry fire it, but it definitely required more effort than a normal trigger pull.  Once I did, the slide was able to be removed and the gun reassembled prooperly.  I racked the slide several times and did multiple dry fires to check it.  Everything seems to function and sound okay.  Any chance I did any damage here to anything?

It will be fine. I've had the same thing once before, and it's never had a problem functioning since.

I appreciate the reply wingshooter.  I'd swear the trigger does feel a little spongier on the front end now, but that's got to be in my head.

Hopefully it didn't cause any changes. I would just see how it does at the range. Did you take it back apart again and inspect the trigger parts?

I didn't do a full breakdown including trigger, just a simple slide, barrel, and recoil spring removal. I've taken it apart multiple times since and dry fired.  Functioning seems to be in line.  I'd hope as touch as glocks are that a little thing like that wouldn't screw the whole thing up.
