| Hey I just received my 50 round box of Federal Hst 124 gr. standard pressure rounds. I have some kind of issue maybe not though. If I load just 1 round in the magazine and try and chamber it in my G19, the round just runs into the feed ramp and jams up, maybe even minor set-back. But if I load the magazine full or even half full, all the rounds cycle through the gun, and I wanna state that this is all hand cycling. If I don't cycle it quickly the rounds will jam on the feed ramp. Anyone else? |
| Hand cycling is a poor test of whether the rounds will actually cycle when firing. I recall back during the AWB days some people had issues with JHPs in the 10 round G19 mags when using the 2183-1 followers. I had some issues with Gold Dots using those followers and it was always with the last round in the mag as I recall. I replaced all the followers with 9mm3 followers and the problem went away. I would guess the new 10 round mags would work with the current 9mm6 followers, but don't have any to try. |
| I haven't seen a G19 10 round mag since the ban expired in '04, what follower do they come with now? I seem to recall that some changes were done to the 15 round G19 mags when switching from 9mm3 to 9mm4 followers, so the 9mm3 followers don't work in newer mags and vice versa, but I'm not certain on that and don't know if that applies to the 10 round mags as well. Maybe give Glock a call and see which follower they recommend? |

I had a similar problem with an old G22 magazine. If I load one round in the mag and try to drop the slide, it will not feed. But when I load more than one round, it will feed fine.
Turned out to be a weak mag spring. Try installing a new mag spring. That should do the trick. |

Update. Just shot Fed Hst with the 10 round mags and they cycled just fine. So did the Hornady. I think I will still put the #3 followers in. It says the #3 followers are for the older mags so will they fit in the new 10 round mags? do they need to be fitted. I had the same issue during the 94 assault weapon ban with some 10 round mags that came with a G19 I bought. The mags had the flat followers and wouldn't feed the last round when I shot Gold Dots. I put the #3 follows in and never had another issue. That will solve your problem. |

I am still trying to figure out if I can even use the #3 followers...The net says that they are for the OLD STYLE glock mags..I have a brand new Glock 19. |

My G19 eats everything from any Glock original mag. 10 round, 15 round, gen1 to gen4 - any follower, doesn't matter.
When you load it, let the slide fly. Never ease it down. You won't hurt the gun. The slide flies a lot harder than that when firing, so let it fly! |
