New Glock 30 Slide Falling Off!
I just bought my first handgun 2 weeks ago and I'm already having problems with it! I bought a Glock 30SF and I took it to the range and only put 90 rounds through it. I experienced 1 feed jam and when I tried to load the round into the camber and release the slide stop the slide didn't close all of the way. So I was breaking down today to clean it and lubricate it. So I pulled the slide back and pulled the trigger and the slide slid off! I've tried holding the slide releases on either side of the gun up while I fired it and the slide still came off. Does anyone know the reason for this or have they had any similar problems with their glocks?

From what you are saying, it kinda sounds like you might have broken your slide lock spring. This pieces sits underneath the locking block. If there is no "spring" to your take down levers, then this is most likely your culprit.
I haven't heard of one failing on a 30SF, but I have seen it happen a few times on the 27's (40S&W is so abusive!). It's a cheap part but tricky to install if you don't know what you are doing. Please don't take my word for what may be wrong with your Glock. Without seeing the gun, it's hard to diagnose! Most gunsmiths should be able to diagnose and fix your problem.

We see this on model 23's alot and occasionally on model 22's at our dept... as long as the officer practices his/her reset the gun will usually fire.. it isn't until they don't reset the trigger that the slide will like ... launch... This might also explain you "Jam" from the other post...

Fixed my G30 SF
So after all day off examining my glock and breaking it down I realized what the problem was, when the slide block slipped out of it (apparently a freak accident) I put it back in upside down. Afterwards it didn't feel right so I kept messing with it, turning it around and upside down trying to figure out how to install it. So I took it back out and realized the spring underneath of it had become wedged so it was applying no pressure to the slide block. So to make a long story short, I forced the spring too far down and it became stuck... But thank you to everyone that tried to help.

Slide lock spring is too long
So after my slide fell off doing another dry fire I did a little more reading and found out that this is not an uncommon problem. Apparently the slide spring is too long and becomes stuck when you pull the slide block down to field strip the gun. I'm almost tempted to file down the spring myself but that would void my warranty and I kinda just want glock to make it right. I'm kinda pissed off that the first new glock I buy isn't impeccable. Not to mention it's probably gonna be a couple of weeks before I have a working glock!

Please keep us posted. I have a Glock 30 and have never had a problem with it. I've only had it a few months, and have only shot maybe 300 rounds through it. I do carry it since I like the .45, and I'm a bit concerned to read the slides are falling off! I have pumped many, many more rounds through my 23 and have never had a problem with it! And, it's an older Glock. I purchased it when the 22's and 23's first came out, in fact .40 S&W was relatively a new caliber as well, which was what attracted me to get one in the first place!

In any case, I'd take it to a Glock armorer or the store you bought it; it should be easy to get back into fighting shape.

I have to confess to the fact that I have never heard of this before....

There were a series of slide lock springs for the model 23 guns that had issues... the recoil spring abraids the s.l.s. and causes it to thin out and then breaking ... I assume that the op was, as he has indicated... tinkering and got the lock in backwards which will cause problems... this is a pretty foolproof device ...except when it itsn't....
