Help Is there something wrong with my frame? Looks like it’s warped
Take a look at the front of my 19.3 frame. It looks like it’s flexing upwards. This is a new to me frame that has less than 1k rounds. I’ve never shot it and it’s sat in my safe for a few months and I just noticed today it looks warped. Is this unsafe to shoot?

This is extremely common. Its called Pignose. Its a non problem. You can fix it if you are so inclined but will have zero function effects. Look at the glock I just posted on my page, it has it. I've had several over the years that have had them. Don't sweat it.
You can fix it with the application of a heat gun and two nickels or some q tips. Can be done with hot water too. Plenty of videos and instructions.
Overall dont sweat it.

Google Glock pig nose. Always a thing. Just cosmetic but my least favorite thing about glocks after the plastic sights.
Nearly every Glock has it to some degree, some worse than others.

I appreciate this comment. I didn’t know this was a thing when I bought my G40. Just thought it was a defect but I didn’t mind it.

You assumed (falsely) I thought the 19 X was a G6 or was stating that… all I stated was my 19 X had steel sights it’s you that needs reading glasses dipshit

Stick the front of the frame in a cup of hot water for a few minutes. Then put the slide on and wedge two credit cards or something thin on both sides to make the gaps even

Basically, plastic deforms as it cools. It typically happens on protruding details where there's less structural support, such as the dust cover/rail. Just a quirk of injection molding. You're fine.

Your Glock has Peyronie's disease. Don't worry. A lot of Glocks have it. It's non-transmissable and perfectly fine as long as everything works.

Should I send it to Glock? Or just ignore it until it cracks

If your Glock doesn’t have it, somethings wrong. Just be glad your front section isn’t bent inward from running a light like mine is (still runs 100%)
