My opinion, it's a lot like trying to fix minor oil leaks on a 35 year old Mercedes diesel. Or an old deuce and a half.

That's a tactical debris release port.
I think there is a big difference between not wanting the frame of your pistol to be warped and...

Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder
Overview
Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is a common, chronic, and long-lasting disorder in which a person has uncontrollable, reoccurring thoughts (obsessions) and/or behaviors (compulsions) that he or she feels the urge to repeat over and over.
But, I do give you props for creativity in insults; never been accused of having a clinical mental disorder before for not wanting a frame to be warped.
LOL
BAAAAH HAAAA!That's a tactical debris release port.

Absolutely normal. Don't do anything to that frame.The rail portion of this receiver is bent slightly upwards. I think I’ll try to warm that section with a heat gun and stick some shims in there, allowing it to cool with the shims in place. Not sure if this type of plastic can be reformed like that but I’ve no idea what else to try.

Anybody else had this on their Glock? Doesn’t seem to affect the accuracy so maybe I should just leave it alone but it’s one of those things...
Pretty good result but I still wouldn't do that.
Interesting. I’ll see how mine does.As a note, i did the boiling water trick about 6 years ago with one of the glock i have. It lasted about a month.
No, please DO NOT do that as it is normal for Glocks and millions of Glocks have functioned fine over the decades looking like your picture.I think I’ll try to warm that section with a heat gun and stick some shims in there, allowing it to cool with the shims in place.

Yes, leave it alone.Doesn’t seem to affect the accuracy so maybe I should just leave it alone
Bahaaa! Haven’t heard that one. I guess the ones that are straight without a light attached are the special forces saggylight versions. So you can see gophers infiltrating the perimeter!Have you considered that Glock put that bend there so when you mount lights/lasers, the bend would compensate for the weight?
During my testing with scope mounts, even with lighter polymer mount, the front rail portion of frame flexed quite a bit ... Good enough for "combat accurate" defensive shooting but not for 25 yard precision shooting for groups - https://www.thehighroad.org/index.p...endence-from-work.853305/page-4#post-11219888Haven’t heard that one.
I would imagine they flex quite a bit with all that weight on them, and slo mo video shows they flex a lot with NO weight on them. The recent “scientific” test where the dude mounts a laser to the dust cover of various caliber Glocks and supposedly proves that .40 has more lateral movement during recoil simply demonstrates that different plastic dust covers flex at different rates. Had he chosen 3 different samples he may have gotten 3 different results. If he wants to prove anything he needs to mount a laser to the slide solidly IMO.During my testing with scope mounts, even with lighter polymer mount, the front rail portion of frame flexed quite a bit ...
