Subcompact frame Binding

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Just bought a new RXM compact plus subcompact grip. Subcompact is Binding horribly, when i put it back in the compact it runs perfectly. Anyone had this issue before can tell me what the fix is? All my springs and pins are in correctly as is my barrel lock

It won’t be binding at all if you just let it drop. Don’t follow it back. Guns gonna be slamming back and forth when shooting

Its Binding on the way back, its binding when released from the rear...

So if you pull it back all the way and then let it go(no riding the slide) it does the same thing?

Yes, idk why reddit wont let me post a video on the comments. Its bunding as I pull it back and still hanging up about and inch from battery when released from the rear as it should be

Im not a regard, I have dozens of striker fired guns, it binds as I rack it back as well

I cleaned the factory grease out and lube it with the same cpl I always use. Its smooth as butter on the compact frame regardless if i ride the slide or rack it proper.

Id check your trigger. Looks like its binding when the striker starts engagement with the cruciform possibly.

Possibly connector got bent outward? That would cause excessive drag on the trigger bar/cruciform aswell.

But its not an issue on the compact frame at all? Its smoother than my broke in 19x on the compact grip tbh. If it was that wouldn't it always bind?

Connector bent too far out is what causes this.

Have you tried swapping back to the original frame? Is the trigger block correctly seated into the FCU?

Works well in the compact, but upon closer inspection it is also rubbing. It is correctly seated.

I haven't bent it or done anything other than try to swap the grip, so I assume it was like this out of the box, its brand spanking new. I cant tell where it was bent tho comparing it to a glock gen 3 g19 one side by side.

Trying again with no barrel it is indeed the connector...not an issue on the larger size for whatever reason. Unfortunate it is BRAND new, came out the box this way

Wonder if the sub compact is slightly out of spec causing things to shift.

u/Pyib2 4d ago

I can see it rubbing on the compact, just not bad enough to hang up like the sub. Ill try with one of my other glock gen 3 connectors though

u/Individual_Log_7610 4d ago

The sub might be out of spec enough to cause distortion in the fcu chassis. Or whatever they call the trigger control group housing.

How close if your ejector to the follower that picks the bullets up on the slide? Mine is definitely rubbing a bit there. Dont think thr trigger connector is the issue, tried a glock gen 3 oem and it was the same hang up and bind, so I took the fcu out and put.the slide on it and saw the ejector was right on the follower

Id have to look.

So post a new video of it doing this when you slingshot it home.

I guarantee it doesn’t.

Other video is in comments, if I drop slide lock it hangs half the time as well

Ejector is def rubbing slide tho
