What happens if you put the original slide stop back in?

Do you know anyone with the same Glock model that you can borrow some mags?
I dropped one at a range once and chipped the follower were it contacts the slide lock. ETA: if you know someone with the same model, have them try your mags while you try theirs. If the problem goes to your buddy, you know it is the mags. |

It is your thumbs mine do it too.... Just be mindful where your thumbs are. Ask me how I know I have long fingers and mine do this on my Glocks walther M&P .... 1911 and P7 are two that I do not have this problem.

Shoot it strong hand only. if it locks back then its your grip.

Maybe his thumbs, but his friends too? Is it factory ammo? Recoil spring maybe? Did you oil it? Brand new, fouled with no oil could slow it up enough not to lock.

Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile With a high, thumbs forward grip the 9mm sized Glocks will have slide stop issues with many shooters. my thumbs are actually higher than the slide stop and its the palm of my off hand that can ride it if i am not carefull not to. and thats with the standard part. Extended Glock slide stops dont work for me at all. |

They don't work for me either. The palm of my hand will sometimes bump the entended slide stop upwards, causing the slide to lock back with rounds still in the mag. All my Glocks have stock, non-extended slide stops now, even my 34's.

After the first range trip i gave him a standard slide stop for the same reason. |

Usually high thumbs lead to locked slides not slides that don't lock. Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile |
