Shoot about 45 rounds is Speer 124 grn +p through my Gen2 19 yesterday. During fire with the 33 round factory Glock magazine, I experienced two (or maybe it was three) failures to feed. I was trying to shoot more quickly than usual and the nose of the hollow point was getting hung up on the feedramp. I was a little surprised at this because GLocks normally eat anything. When I slowed down, the failures ceased.
I was using a brand new recoil spring so it's not as if that part was worn. I did put about 14 rounds through a standard new factory mag without incident, but I was taking my time between shots. The factory mags were brand new with the most current generation followers if that means anything. I also noticed that if I slapped the 33 round mag in after extracting the offending round that the slide closed automatically without me having to rack it or engage the slide stop lever. I don't know how common that is. The only other thing I could think of it that it was dry, but it had been cleaned and lubed since my last session so I don't know what gives. I purchased the ammo brand new from GT Distributors marked down. It was the 50 rounds to a box stuff. I was planning on keeping this in the GLock as defense ammo, but now I'm not so sure. I may as well burn through the rest of it and see what happens. Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile |

I didn't try rapid fire with the 15 round mag. I may do so given the chance and see what happens. Is it possible that there may be a compatibility issue between the Gen2 G19 and the newest generation of magazine followers?
I'll also try FMJ's and see what happens. Maybe it's the hollow point rounds. Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile |
