Glock internal lock removal

[bearfutedninja]

Anyone ever remove an internal lock on a glock?

Recently picked up a g26 gen 3 with an internal lock. Couldnt pass up the deal. Would rather remove it but dont know whats all involved.

I didn't know what you were talking about and I looked it up. Is that the key lock behind the magazine? When did that become a thing?

Yes. Rarely installed.

First time I’ve ever seen this. Weird.

My p30L came with a similar lock setup.

Glock also sells a standard Glock plastic shipping box with a matching keyed lock installed on the box itself. I’ve got one around here somewhere and if I can locate it I’ll post a picture.

Been available for decades.

That lock is about as useful as the thumb safety on the S&W Shield I used to own. What was Gaston thinking when he said, "Oh I know, let's put a lock with a key on our pistol".

How so? The one on my p30L seems to render it useless if it's locked.

Found a discussion containing ideas and conjecture and a "how to" that seems painful and leaves the lock indicator in the trash can. Have looked everywhere including Glock Talk. I gather it would be one PITA and paying a 'smith would add $ to your oveall purchase.

I saw this thread about 10 minutes before you posted on lunch break. I really dont want to demolish the gun removing it. If i have time i might mill it out but time is precious lately

It was requested by a law enforcement agency if I remember correctly

I'd buy a new grip frame / receiver. I think Brownells had them for $50. Migrate all of the parts except those that offend you. No hole in the backstrap.

Wouldn't doubt it. NOPD had their Glock 22 come with NY triggers installed. Talk about a mess. Some have enough trouble qualifying as it is, put a 12 pound trigger and see what happens. Supposed to be for safety purposes to prevent negligent discharges. You can't install a device to replace good training discipline like "Don't put your finger on the trigger until ready to fire".

Best trigger control device is to keep your booger hook off the trigger till actual shooting is required. ....................... .............. drill sgt.

If i could find one cheap enough id do this

If you don't care for it, just fill that area in with some black rubber (plastic) in a tube. Sand it smooth after it dries. Forget it was even there and don't worry about it, unless you plan to sell it down the road.
