( 3 out of 5) Not quite up to your usual standards

by Steve from Coral Springs, Florida on February 12, 2016

This police trade in was described as very good, and although cosmetically it was indeed very good externally, mechanically it was heavily worn. The slide interior had some peening of the rails near the block and was the loosest fitting Glock slide I've ever seen, both symptoms of very high round counts. It was so loose that, when field stripping at the FFLs store upon receipt, it flew off and bounced off the glass counter to the floor when I pulled the trigger. And it wasn't pointed straight down, just at a slight incline. I haven't shot it yet but I don't expect very good accuracy. It also didn't come with a case which was unexpected and wasn't mentioned, although it did come with 16 yr. old night sights that still glow a bit, which was a slight bonus since it wasn't advertised with them. I've purchased trade ins from SOSS before with excellent results, so I was surprised to receive this one in this condition. I'm still a big fan of the store however, and will remain a regular customer. I realize that with recent high volumes and travel to the shot show, this probably just slipped thru the ratings and inspection cracks.
