[QUOTE="druryj, post: 3213677, member: 10465"] And remember, the slide lock lever spring on the 42 and 43 series is different than that found on others like the 3-pin models such as Gen 3 G19, 26, 22., 23, etc. On these, you have to make sure the long arm of the slide lock lever spring goes UNDER the locking block pin, or you will for sure have a one-shot Glock. the locking block pin is [U]first out[/U]; [U]first in[/U] on all 3 pin models. The 42 and 43 series uses a captured slide lock lever spring which is the same exact spring as the safety plunger spring too, by the way. Here's another place to take a look: [URL]https://www.glockparts.com/glock-disassembly.htm[/URL] This is a good, visual, easy to follow set of instructions. (Also, you can order new parts here if you bugger something up...use "5off" coupon code to help you out a tiny bit). No offense to [USER=41074]@FrankNmac[/USER]'s video above, but that guy is using a dang mallet! You DO NOT need a mallet or hammer to take your Glock apart. More damage has been caused to guns by hammers, Dremels, and drills than almost anything else, except for Cletus and his brother, Bubba. They have caused immeasurable damage, probably by using power tools or bludgeoning tools to do their kitchen table gun smith hacks. No hammers; no mallets. They are not needed and they can cause damage. (Crap. This pin ain't comin' out...[I]lemme hit it just a little harder[/I]...) Just your Glock tool or a 3/32 punch. Wooden chopstick is optional if you don't have real skinny fingers to push that lever down with. [/QUOTE]
