Stuck firing pin
The hole in the breech face where the firing pin sticks out is machined improperly. This caused my firing pin to get stuck. Not realizing what was wrong, I racked it hard a few times before figuring it out and having to remove the slide with violent force. This caused obvious premature wear to a brand new cruciform. I probably should have sent it back immediately, but I already took the finish off and polished it to a matte stainless finish, so obviously a return was out of the question. It was my own stupid fault for not dry fitting everything before I took the finish off, I know. But this is a Glock, not a competition 1911. I've never had to hand fit Glock parts, so the thought never crossed my mind. After filing the sides of the firing pin, it now fits and functions properly. I'm hoping a few thousand rounds peens the inside of the channel into spec before I swap out a new firing pin and new trigger components. All things considered, it's still a good deal, but remember to test fit and function check everything as soon as you get it in case you have to exchange it.
