| When the slide is closed with no round in the chamber and I attempt to feed in a magazine, the magazine will not snap into place. Tried it with both magazines. When the slide is open, the magazine will slide in and catch. Is this standard with Glocks or is there a problem with mine? |
give the mag a nice slap on the bottom, it should seat |
| well first thing, i'd try slapping it again, or setting it down on a table and pushing down hard, it could just be a stiff mag spring. then i'd check the mag catch and mag release for damage, but if the mag is catching with the slide open there is no reason (that i can think of) that it wouldn't catch with the slide closed. |
well then everything works ok, its just a stiff mag spring. Nest time slap it in a little harder, your not going to hurt anything! |
can't delete a thread unless the mods do.. you will feel shameful for this post.... lol jk, no stupid questions here! |
Dude, it's a Glock. Many a times i've thrown my G19 across a field to drive home a point that 1) They are safe if you drop (or throw them) and 2) that they are durable. It will be difficult to seat a full mag on any closed slide/bolt because the spring will have to be compressed a bit more which is difficult with a full magazine. |
