Glock Take Down Problem

[BKExpress]

I am not a Glock expert so go easy on me if there is a simple explanation...I recently bought a 26 as a carry pistol. I have a 23 and am familiar with how to remove the slide and have done it many times. For some reason the 26 will disengage about 1/4", but does not slide forward as it should after I go through the normal procedure.

I had a trigger job done on it recently, but I don't remember if I have disassembled since then.

What do I need to do?

Thanks!

You might have to pull the slide less, it might be engaging the trigger sooner. I am not an expert though so I will defer.

I would remove the back plate and pull the striker to get it apart and make sure everything looks ok.

Who did the "trigger job" and what all did it entail? Have you fired it since?

pull the trigger again

a common trigger trick on a glock is to install a 3.5 connector, and NY trigger spring. on some pistols, this will cause the slide to hang up on its way forward, during the field-strip. pulling the trigger releases it, and it should slide off the frame like normal.

re-installing the slide should be the same as it's always been.

Remove the magazine.

What he said.

I had the same thing happen to one of my Glocks after doing a trigger job. You must continue to hold the trigger rearward as you pull down on the take-down tabs.
