I have a Glock model 22 2nd generation that I bought about 10-11 years ago. I have put about 7-8k rounds through it and have noticed that when shooting and the mag is emptied, after I drop the empty mag and install the full mag, I don't have to push the slid stop lever. The force from me just pushing the new full mag into the gun cause the slide to pull forward. I have never done any modification and everything is still original. I have taken the entire gun apart and cleaned it hoping this may have helped. I have also been in the habit of always cleaning my fire arms after every trip to the range. Thanks in advance for any help.  Drew |
| Many, if not most, double column magazine pistols can do this if the magazine is slammed into the mag well hard during a reload from slide lock. Some feel it is sort of a 'bonus' but I don't fall into that camp. I want my pistol to remain at slide lock until I activate the slide to deliberately let it forward. Still, the point is that your Glock is not broken just because it does this. |

That has happend to me several times at the range with my Glock 23. When we qualify for our department, after every 10 rounds fired we need to do a reload. I constantly have to do a "rack the slide a little" to make sure it has chambered a round. In 5+ years of shooting it has never failed to chamber a round. Like you said, think of it as a bonus. Andy
