Just bought a g19 gen5 for my son who is left handed, Mailed in from buds, After putting the first two mags through it, the trigger didn't return, I cycled a round and tried again, same thing. I've read that it could be a weak firing pin spring? Some other video's say the trigger bar is hitting the frame. ( It doesn't) It came in battle worn red so I wasn't sure if some of the "paint" got sprayed into it? I did notice the 4 metal slide rails were painted over though. Any ideas to help out.

Hi Paul and welcome. The issue is likely the firing pin spring. Check to make sure there are no burrs or overspray binding the spring. You can try replacing with a extra power striker spring: https://www.gunsprings.com/index.cfm?page=items&cID=1&mID=5#131 ------------------- Since the gun is new, I would give Glock Customer Service a call for advice as well: 1 (770) 432-1202. Cheers and stay safe!

Just take a good look at the firing pin spring, clean if necessary. But as James mentioned, give Glick customer service a call for a possible warranty fix.
