When I say it has been dropped several times it has been over the period of me owning the firearm...it was not within a few days. Has no one else ever dropped there firearm?

I really like your response until the last sentence. Ugh!Get a grip! :laugh:
Seriously, though...get a better holster, and BE MORE CAREFUL with that thing. I don't care if it was in a holster or in your hand when it was dropped. YOU are the one responsible for where your firearm is, and what it's doing. Without your action, the firearm is an inert chunk of metal that does nothing. I know that most modern firearms are engineered to be safer and withstand a good deal of punishment - but frequent dropping is just negligence, and unsafe.
I doubt the internal mechanisms are damaged; think of the forces exerted and withstood each and every time you fire the thing. If the function isn't right or if you're worried - take it to a gunsmith and have it checked out. Yes, it costs...but how much is your peace of mind worth?
As for the external - you can get it re-blued, or just oil the bare spot a little extra. Those first few dents and dings on a work gun are the worst to get over. Much like the first few dents and dings in your new car.
About the only thing mechanicly that may bother is you may have knocked the sights out of align, but this is doubtful, and no it is not normal to drop test your weapon at all let alone several times, as far as the operation of the gun its most likely fine, as far as the cosmetic look, I'm sure a gunsmith can do something with it, clean up, or refinish, polish, reblue, duracoat, but it is a Glock, not really made to be pretty, there made to be functional, and you should be a bit more mindful, it is a deadly weapon, and as good as Glocks are, for not going off if dropped, anythings possableI just wanted some input on this. I have dropped my Glock 30 several times. First I am concerned this may damage the internal mechanisms. Also it has had damage to the slide on the corners. Is it normal to have this type of wear and tear on your firearm. Please note every time it has been dropped it was in a holster. I just want some input.. Maybe I am just a little obsessive about the look of it?
