Did you polish or work on that connector ?
You already determined that disassembly "past the operator level" is "challenging" to me. Clearly, modifying a gun would be way above my pay grade. So, no.

Cool. You can work this out on your own.You already determined that disassembly "past the operator level" is "challenging" to me. Clearly, modifying a gun would be way above my pay grade. So, no.
Looks to me that replacing the connector with a new OEM unit should cure your problems
Those are interchangeable between models, no? I have a few more perfectly functioning Glocks of the same Generation I could pull one out of. Let me try. Thanks!
If you want to drive to Walker I will give you a new connector.
As always you go above and beyond to help members. Huge thanks.If you want to drive to Walker I will give you a new connector.
Thank you very much! Sorry, I’ve been away from the computer and I’m just now seeing your post.
I do not have an armorer’s back plate, so I can’t duplicate that one particular picture if yours, but here are a few others of my pistol. Do you see anything wrong?

Yup. THIS.You’re welcome. The pics I posted are all mine.
Looks like the connector and the trigger bar were polished. I’d replace those parts and move forward.
I’ll pull that 27 apart and post detailed pics of the parts (connector and trigger bar) to show the wear they have on them.

That Q-tip sure did leave a lot of grinding and polishing marks on the connector. Must have been a hell of a Q-tip.Ok, mystery solved, and I think I owe you guys a mea culpa.
I took the almost factory new trigger group out of my G20 Gen4 and dropped it into the problematic G30SF. No more malfunctions.
Comparing the two, the older (malfunctioning) transfer bar is shinier. I have a habit of cleaning metal gun parts with a Q-tip and Mother's Mag Polish. I guess the "polish" part should have tipped me off to what I was inadvertently doing. The habit carried over from cleaning smoke rings off revolver cylinders (I'm mainly a revolver shooter), for which Mother's works great.
Still though, besides shining the trigger bar up, I do not see how I could possibly have removed metal with a Q-tip over the years, but here we are. I still do not understand exactly why the gun is malfunctioning as a result, but it looks like the fix will be easy.
Thanks to everybody who offered help.
