| Ok now honestly has anyone here ever once had a feeding or jamming prob. with one of there Glocks? I just had my first one with my 27 yesterday at my dads house. Of course i was using the cheap Wally World Winchester ammo but it jammed up. That is crazy because of the 3,000 rounds or so i have put through it, it has never jammed up................be honest. |
Oh of course they are not a "Perfect Gun" but it just kind of threw me off since it hasnt happened in the full 3000+rounds i have fired it.............I was just shooting up a full magizine and on the 3rd or 4th round it had a feeding problem with the bullet jamming with the primmer side in the mag. and the tip of the bullet right above the barrell holding the slide open........i think they call that a "Door Stop" jam or something like that. That was basically it. I got it un-jammed, re-loaded that round and shot it and didnt have another prob. for the next 100 rnds until i quit. |

Yeah, i loaded my new glock 19 up with gold dot hollow point. slapped the mag in jacked the slid back let it go........WTF?!?!?! First round didnt even chamber.....My first thought "I knew I shouldnt have bought this plastic piece of shit" SO I tried it again.....Nothing....Lock slide back, drop mag, remove round. Replace mag......(BTW I would have been dead by now if it really mattered) Chamber every round everyway from snatching slide all the way back and releasing as fast as I could, to pulling slide back to where it barely cleared the back of the mag and no problems.....It impacted the round so I just threw it away. I am sure I will have no problems with it, But it is a sinking feeling when you go to chamber the first round in your new, "Best firearm on the planet" and it jams....We will see when I take it to the range though..... |
That is why you test your equipment before putting it into use, no matter who makes it. It sounds like you got a magazine with a bad spring, or you installed an aftermarket extender. With some extenders, you have to put a stronger spring in the magazine. |
Yes, I understand the concept of testing before you field...It was a factory glock hi cap mag. no extender, no operator error. May have been just a bad round. I was just stating that basically shit happens...No weapon is perfect. |
Check your mag springs and followers. Springs could be week, followers could be worn. Have most of those three thousand rounds gone through just a couple mags? |

I was having the exact same problem with my G34. The cause was my right thumb was riding the extended slide release lever just barely enough to occasionally lift it up and catch the slide. You can either move your thumb to a new position or get the smaller slide release lever. I moved my thumb and haven't had any problems. |
Those 3k rounds have been through the same two factory mags that came with the gun. I have bought more since but havent used them yet. |
Try the new mags while you order followers and springs for the old mags. |

I've only had issues with oddball reloads. 1) Just for grins, I made a batch with 95 grain HP bullets made for the .380. They were really short. They would not feed in my Glock 17. My Taurus PT-92 ate them without complaint. 2) I load light practice loads for my small Taurus 9mm revolver. The Glock will not cycle these loads nor will the 92. The problem is the case is not ejected from the gun. It will either stove pipe or otherwise get caught between the slide and the barrel. |

Had a 20 which would jam the 13th round into the side of the barrel at 9 o'clock . Did it in all 3 mags. Cartridges would bind up in the mag and not sit tight against the feed lips. Glock sent me new springs and followers but it never cured the problem. Traded it for a mint 10mm delta elite which runs flawless. Never had a malfunction in my 21........1000+ rds. |
| If you have a light or other accessory on the light rail it can also cause malfunciton. They can cause the frame to not flex properly during operation. Our agency learned this the hard way. Glock replaced all the magazines for 400+ G21's in an effort to remedy the problem for us before we realized it was only our canine officers and SRT operators with the aftermarket tactical light that were having the problems, and only when it was actually on the weapon. |
Which light were they using? |
That's right -- it's a Glock, so it has to be your fault  . Maybe the ammo. Definitely not the gun though, as it's a Glock  . If it were a 1911 it would've been due to poor design  .Malfs happen. Glocks are pretty reliable, but you're still going to get one at some point. 1 in 3000 is not a big deal. That's about what my G19 is at. I've had 1 in 2900. No biggie. |
