Warning: All KSC glock owners!!!

Always cock the gun before inserting the mag. Don't insert the mag unless the gun is cocked. If you leave it uncocked then insert the mag, the valve will push up against the firing pin which is loaded down by the "hammer". This will eventually lead to breakage. It's kinda hard to explain. The best way to see this is by taking off the slide, pulling on the trigger to release the hammer and inserting a loaded mag. You will see that it does slightly move up but is loaded down by the hammer. The little loop on the back of the firing pin will eventually fracture as mine did...

The section circled in red is the fractured area...



Edit: This is my pain-in-the-ass-blood-pressure-raising G19... not a 18C...

I've had KSC Glocks for years. Never had that problem.

I have heard of people fracturing that part from pulling the trigger and releasing that hammer with the slide off though.

Only problems I've had with my KSC is after running about 40+ bags of BB's through my G23f on full auto I found the fire selector pin came loose. but thats about it.

I've seen guys who use green gas on the G18C break the rocket valve on a couple of occasions. My G23f has to be 3 years old at least, but light use and very little full-auto. My G19 is close to 4 years old, bone stock, and still rocking. It's the only pistol I use really (which isn't alot).

Owned my ksc g19 for 3 years... I had this happen once because I slapped the mag in hard and it was not cocked back before doing so...

well, I still dont cock the slide back before inserting the mag... but I am a little more carefull and just do it normally.

Maybe you slapped the mag in too hard?

Nope, I slid it in as I normally would... Actually, the mag wasn't even gassed so the valve should "pressed" down as it passed the firing pin...

Hmmm interesting, had a KSC g18, did alot of unloading and reloading of the mag while just sitting at my desk, sold her a while back and the buyer hasnt reported any issues. Its still firing pretty good actually last I heard.

worked on over 20+ 18c's, never seen this issue before. Ive seen broken nozzles, damaged/bent nozzle springs, even incorrect assembly or wrong parts put into it. But with full auto GBBs, u never know where the next crack will form.

I've had my G23F for almost 10 years and had no issues with the gun itself. Knocking on wood as I type though
