I recently traded for a like new G17, 3rd gen. The gun looks new, the finish is not worn at all on the top of the chamber block. I would guess that it has had less than 100 rounds fired through it.
Last Sunday I attempted to run a mag of Igman ball ammo through it. Out of 15 rounds I had 7 FTF. I changed mags and experienced the same problem. I have shot 4000+ rounds of this ammo through 3 different Glocks without a single issue. I can't figure this one out. I do plan on swapping slides with one of my other G17s to see if I can't narrow down the problem. I thought at first that a stronger recoil spring had been installed but it hadn't.. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Ty |

It might just not like that ammo.
Try some other ammo and see if that's the issue. Never heard of Igman ammo, but maybe it's underpowered, a lot of times you need to use full power ammo to break a gun in. Just my thoughts, if that don't work send it back to Glock they will fix it.

Thanks for the input. I have never experienced this problem with any of the other Glocks I have fired (which is many) . I will run some 9X19 NATO through it this weekend and see if that helps before I start swapping parts. Igman is a Serbian manufacturer that is on par with Prvi Partizan I would say. Decent ammo but I have not chronoed it. |

Different ammo is the easiest thing to try, if that don't work then it's time to look at different issues. |
