| I just bought a Glock 20 and today was the first day I got to shoot it. I bought it used and I was wanting to know if anyone else has trouble with a round not kicking into the chamber when you are empty and slap a new mag in. is this a mag problem or a gun problem. I noticed that one of the mags I have works better then the other two it came with. It also came with some after market sights that are all black. Im not sure if they are off or if its just me. When I shot a glock 34 I was very accurate with it but with the 20 I was missing. |

I wouldn't count on the "auto load" when inserting a fresh mag into the gun. It's not designed to work that way, it just so happens that some Glocks (among other pistols) will "jump" the slide stop when a mag is inserted with sufficient force. If you train expecting it to work that way you may very well find yourself in a situation when your life is on the line where it doesn't work. The proper way to charge a pistol from slidelock is to either slingshot the slide or overhand the slide. Lots of people thumb the slide stop, but that's a pretty fine motor skill. Fine motor skills are the first thing to go out the window under stress. A better way is to conduct a "tactical" reload, where you change mags before you get to slidelock. |
