Yes, exactly I found out. LOL My first Glock. Thanks!Yeah, a disassembled Glock should *not* have the trigger in the forward / reset position. You *have* to pull the trigger to take the gun apart, and then to get it back together, otherwise the trigger bar gets in the way. The slide just slips back on and the slide lock will automatically engage once the barrel makes contact with the locking block, and the trigger will reset as you pull the slide at least 1/4 inch rearward past being in battery.

I was debating between the M&P 2.0 and my Glock. Never had a Glock so decided on it. And too, I got the Glock on the Blue Label so about $200 less for the Glock decided for me. Even though I think the M&P 2.0 would have been a better choice.First for everything, right? The M&P can be taken apart like a Glock, or you can use the sear deactivation lever and it's a non-issue. The trigger becomes dead until the lever is popped back into place either by finger, or by inserting a magazine. I like my M&P's, I usually just take it apart in the Glock style, because its a tad faster and easier.
Actually, moving the trilgger bar is what I finally tried. And also moving the firing pin forward. Thanks for the exploded view!If that happens again, apply forward pressure on the trigger bar (the bar on #26 in the image) and pull the trigger to release it prior to putting the slide back on.

I've got both the M&P 2.0 and a Glock 19 Gen 5. Both are pretty easy to field strip and I seem just as accurate with both.I was debating between the M&P 2.0 and my Glock.

I saw that happen first hand several years ago.That's funny, when I search for "exploded view Glock" I get this:
You're giving me way too much credit here. I'm not raging against Glocks, I'm just stirring the pot. I've been known to post bad 1911 photos too. I also play both sides of the fence on 9mm vs 45 aarp.Doh - what was that gun blog / forum that used to rag on Glocks constantly because of a few .40's that exploded because of reloads or over pressures? I think the guy who ran it was retired NYPD or something - he raged against Glocks and this pic would give him a huge throbber and he'd post every pic like this he could.

I had a few friends who loved the 10 mm's little retarded brother, aka 40 short and weak. They would go to the Midland Shooter's Association range and spend an hour picking up brass off the ground, and then spend 3 days sorting through it all and throwing out the 40 brass that had the little belly bulge while bitching about Glock owners.Nah, it was a genuine question. That photo spurred memories, but I can't remember the website name. The owner was rabidly anti-Glock because mostly gen 2 Glock .40s with unsupported chambers would explode when someone tried running poor reloads or overly hot rounds thru them. Wasn't accusing you of rabid-anti-glockness, if that's what you conferred!
