Does the 2-pin G19 use the same slide stop lever as the 3-pin G19 and G23?
The other day, I was shooting a Gen3 G19, with 2-pin receiver and had multiple slide locks with still-loaded mags. At first I thought I was probably causing it to engage by hitting it with my hand, but it doesn’t happen with another G19, G17, G23, nor a previous G21. I suppose it’s possible I was hitting it.
I took out the slide stop lever to make sure it was installed correctly and noticed it doesn’t have the limiting tab that the 2-pin G17 slide stops have. It’s just like the 3-pin slide stops.
The slide stop will snap back down if I lift it and let go, so I was probably hitting the slide stop with my hand. Any ideas?
You need a slide stop for a 2-pin model. It will have a triangular tab that protrudes from the tab. Thankfully, they are still relatively easy to find.
I think GT Distributors may even still have some of the 2 pin extended slide stop levers if that is your thing.
I believe the “spike limiter” is for 2-pin G17 & G34.
"Glock OEM slide stop. Fits early 2 pin guns models G17,17L,34 These pistols do not have a locking block pin and were manufactured between 1986 to mid 2002.
Look at the photo of this slide stop and compare to the slide stop currently in your pistol to verify. Pay special attention to the “spike limiter” located just above the trigger pin hole. If the slide stop in your pistol has this “spike limiter” you are ordering the correct part.
If the slide stop in your pistol does not have the “spike limiter” you need to order part number GLO-2919 (std) or GLO-7496 (ext). Compare the photos of these parts to verify before placing your order." http://www.lonewolfdist.com/Detail.aspx?PROD=490&CAT=199
