I was cleaning my Glock 34 tonight and noticed that when I dry fire it, and retract the slide slowly by hand, and look at the breech face, the firing pin protrudes from its hole just a a little bit, maybe 1 or 2 millimeters. This happens about half the time. When it happens, it continues to stick out the whole time I retract the slide. Then as I let the slide move forward, the firing pin retracts back into the slide when the slide is about a quarter of an inch from making contact with the barrel and being fully back into battery. A soft but audible click is heard as the firing pin retracts back into the slide at this point.
The same thing happens with a Glock 19 I was comparing it to.
I thought maybe the firing pin was sticking somewhere, so I pulled the firing pin out and cleaned it and its channel and the same thing happens.
Neither the 34 nor the 19 have ever jammed or fired out of battery. They both work normally.
Is this some peculiarity to Glocks or do my two have some kind of problem?
