But until the striker is no longer under compression, it will not come off of the frame. You can pull down on the takedown lever and get the slide to move a little. Because I have to pull the trigger on my 17 to get the slide to actually move off the frame. You are going to have to elaborate even more. Or you can put it muzzle down into the table / cleaning matt and rock it forward to move it out of battery if you have any dexterity issues. Then pull the slide lock down as its no longer under load. Barrel hood just dropping under the slide but not moving rearward. Easiest way for me (being a righty) is to hold it in my right hand with thumb against backstrap and fingers over the rear of the slide using the index finger on the rear sight to just nudge the slide out of battery. Some folks bring it back and engage the slide lock or somewhere in between which will partially cock it. Safe to let your baby play with it.Īll you have to do is unload the slide catch, essentially just out of battery an 1/8' of an inch. So in this scenario you have your Glock, with knowledge that its magless, extractor down and chamber empty.
I wasnt sure if it was just those that dont own Glocks proliferate that hooey.
