Just found the little rat bastard!
It didn't fell into an obscurely placed baby swing!

There's a school of thought that says you shouldn't detail strip a Glock too often. They weren't designed for it.

Military manuals not unusually note that stripping causes wear.

Re: The dreaded ping...Glock firing pin safety gone missing
Maroelas, glad you found it. And feel your pain at that moment. Something similar happened to me last year. Somehow when pushing out the locking block pin, it flew out and bounced off the table. Took a good hour or 2 of grid searching the tiled floors in 3 rooms (open plan -ish) to find it ... nestled nicely in a grouting groove between 2 tiles, on the far side, about 4m from the scene of the whoops, to obfuscate it's presence surrounded the light-hued tiles.
My first thought when my cursory search turned up nothing was "better mail BigT to get one sent down". Fortunately it was a sporting G23, so not that urgent.There are no stupid questions ........ just stupid people
