Question for the Glock Guys

[ag563]

I bought a new extended slide release, but I can't seem to get the pin out, that holds the old release in. I watched a video on how to do it, online &
they just pushed it out with a punch. Mine is not so easy. Its a Gen, 2.5,
Glock 21. Anyone have any ideas ? Thanks AL

Lay Glock on table or bench on the right side and put punch on pin and tap with hammer. If your gun has not been apart much it can be alittle tight...it will loosen up after afew times in and out..

wiggle the slide stop back and forth while pushing the pin. When you pull the pin, you'll notice a channel/ring cut into it, right where the slide stop lines up. The stop can catch in that little channel and prevent it from coming out.

lay a roll of masking tape or something under the gun too...it should come right out.

+1 Nailed it on the head. You must wiggle, wiggle wiggle!

Im having this exact problem right now with my glock 27. I have wiggled and still not coming out!!

Thanks everyone, I got it out. Sprayed a little PB Blaster on it & let it sit for an hour.
Tapped it a few times & it came right out. Then had to wiggle a lot to ge it back in.
But I did get it. Thanks again........AL

The trick is to keep pressure pushing on the pin as you wiggle.
I've had half a dozen Glock, new and used. Never ever ever had to use a hammer, or anything other than the Glock tool, to get that pin out.

NEVER HIT IT WITH ANYTHING!!!!

As Rob said, wiggle it while pushing on the pin.

my glock did not come with any tools....I bought it used at the gun show last weekend. Do I need some special tools for the glock ? This is my 1st glock.

 

[HICKMAN]

there is a glock armorers tool you can buy, I picked one up cheap at a gun show.

Many also just use a punch, like in the video above.

No, no special tool per se. Glock sells this one
Amazon.com: Glock Part Black Disassembly Tool GT03374: Sports & Outdoors

and it's nice to have. But really, any similarly sized punch will do.
