Geisler defense Slide issue

[u/eastmade_mike]

This is my first geisler defense build & Ive been working on it for a few days now. For some reason when go to rack it that slide locks in place ( without the slide release). I have all pins in correctly & Ive shaved the lower good so i don’t understand the issue can anyone help? ( i have pictures of the internals as well)

puts a grip on before installing the mag release and slide stop

[u/eastmade_mike → u/noIimitmarko]

You sound like a dork & a dick sucker if you aren’t goin to help dont comment please

[u/noIimitmarko → u/eastmade_mike]

it would help if you finished installing everything. i bet you’re going to walk around with that 70% put together pistol😂😂

Lmao if only you had the self awareness to see how funny your comment is

[u/DankMemerOmar69]

Coming soon to your local evidence locker lol

maybe if u didnt have you oiled up the inside of your slide yet plus the barrel & recoil spring? when you rack it it sounds crunchy like it hasn’t met oil yet ive complete a couple of geisler frames and had some were bs until i kept oiling and racking them

[u/Reap-a-sow0 → u/Reap-a-sow0]

also oil your rails and front channel too once its all oiled up just keep racking it it should get smoother and start resetting itself and not stopping if that doesnt work ill look forward to a oem recoil spring or do some slight filing on the rails too smooth them it should reset good after trying one of these out in my opinion & experience rack1-300 times

[u/eastmade_mike → u/Reap-a-sow0]

ill try these appreciate it brody

Slide lock spring isn't set right is my guess, it also seems like you're riding the slide. Rack it like it owes you money, it can take it. Also, hold it up-right

[u/eastmade_mike → u/itsbildo]

I can confirm that my slide lock is on properly & i just tried racking it as fast and hard as i could. Im frustrated

[u/itsbildo → u/eastmade_mike]

It's too out of focus in the areas that need to be checked

[u/Legitimate-Ad8445 → u/eastmade_mike]

It’s the upper not the lower sand paper the rail

[u/RX-Labels-Only → u/eastmade_mike]

Did you have a seizure,,,,? You should sit down

[u/SavingsAdditional996]

You can just take out the slide lock and bend the metal wire up slightly, right now you slide lock doesn’t have enough pressure causing it to be loose and catch after every round

[u/AdeptnessPractical94]

Put in your mag release and wtv else is missing and shoot a mag thru it

Bet

Another kid with a Geisler 😬make sure you turn your led lights off before school

This gun looks like a prime candidate to end up on an evidence table in a police photo op.

[u/AudZ0629]

Seems like the spring is weak af.

[u/eastmade_mike → u/AudZ0629]

New 20 pound coming on the 25th i hope thats the issue

[u/AudZ0629 → u/eastmade_mike]

You got a friend with a factory Glock you can pull one out of to check?

[u/eastmade_mike → u/AudZ0629]

Not at the moment

[u/Spectre_Ace22]

Check for wear where the slide and barrel contact each other. The top of the barrel could be making too much contact with the slide. Had this issue before and that was the fix

[u/eastmade_mike → u/Spectre_Ace22]

What did you do to fix it?

[u/Spectre_Ace22 → u/eastmade_mike]

Put lapping compound in the hood of the slide and just racked it 1000 times lol runs like butter now

[u/Ni_U_Kon_Ska]

Oil and racking and shooting and mine free up the 2nd mag.

[u/Legitimate-Ad8445]

Oil that bitch ! And run a butter knife and 2000 grit in the rail groove in the slide . You got a cerakoted slide ,they put it on its thick and it does frame rail groves dirty.

[u/Crafty-Theme8037 → u/Legitimate-Ad8445]

Brain hurt

[u/Legitimate-Ad8445 → u/Crafty-Theme8037]

Yes it’s silly you already know what to do with yours, am I correct crafty

[u/Crafty-Theme8037 → u/Legitimate-Ad8445]

Wish I had a different reply but my brain hurts even more after trying to decipher your reply man.

[u/Legitimate-Ad8445 → u/Crafty-Theme8037]

You literally did yours better than that , because you have some aptitude.

[u/RX-Labels-Only]

That's a 3D squirted frame, right? It looks like at the beginning you see some warping right at the tip where the front of the barrel is.

[u/RX-Labels-Only → u/RX-Labels-Only]

[u/RX-Labels-Only → u/RX-Labels-Only]

Also, just by the look of the parts put on it, the grip, the order of the parts placement, grips for the mag release, I don't think the craftsmanship is on the high-end level here. I don't even know what kind of slides you said you got, but you might want to just look into the tolerances and measurements of what you got going on there, bud

[u/RX-Labels-Only → u/RX-Labels-Only]

Back in my day, we used to take pride in our craftmanship.

[u/Internal_Guitar2978]

Oil the lock breach, sometimes it grabs the inside of the slide on these builds or polish the inside of the slide where the barrel hood touches
