PIG NOSE is a term used to describe a condition where the bottom of the Slide is no longer parallel to the front part of the frame, due to the polymer frame warping upwards at the end. Aesthetically, the eye perceives this as an incongruent difference between parallel lines and converging lines ...
That is when the dust cover warps from the heat of firing and curls up to give the gun that pig nosed look. Actually, it comes from the molding process. The dust cover cools faster than the rest of the frame, and it causes it to shrink unevenly as it cools. That's what makes the warp. Since it causes no reliability issues, glock's not concerned ...
Ask an actual chemical engineer or call Glock. So if the pignose bothers you, fix it. It only takes about 2 minutes of work and a couple hours of waiting and it is done. See more. 3. "Laugh all you want, but when the zombies come we both know whose house you will be running to for protection."
To me, pig nose, or whatever you want to call it, is a non issue. The polymer frame of the Glock does exactly what it was designed to do and needs no fix. Lone Star Glockers #204. The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself.
My Glock has bacon nose, I love it. I doubt we'd ever see a pig nose on a German gun, that's for sure. “There is a principle which is a bar against all information, which is proof against all arguments, and which cannot fail to keep a man in everlasting ignorance – that principle is contempt prior to investigation.”.
The bigger question is if the agency that issued the G17 will allow you to attempt to fix the pig nose. Click to expand... The agency that issued this was stumped as to what I was referring to and it turns out that several of my fellow co-workers have this same issue and are indifferent toward it.
I remember how I heard about “pig nose”. It was when I got my G17. I was proud of my new pistol, one of the first run of OD green frames. Decided to put a pic up of it. One of the first comments was along the lines of “Nice. Too bad it has pig nose”. A quick Google revealed the petty nature of the complaint.

I pulled out my wife's little butane torch she uses for caramelizing creme-brulle. (Okay, it's her torch, but she makes me do the caramelizing).
The infamous "Pig Nose" & OTHER Polymer Pistols. I 1st noticed the "pig nose" a few years ago while admiring a friends HD weapon. I now own a G23 and it too has the "pig nose". The only explaination ever given (That I'm aware of) was that the cooling down process produces this so called "pig nose". Well, that got me wondering.
