After that, I gave up. Gonna clean it tonight and see if that fixes the problem or not. I'm sure it will, but I'm still a little let down given all the hype and bragging, especially from Glock and Ronald Lee Ermey (Glock spokesperson and actor).
All three rounds from the same box? Makes sense if you are using 50 round boxes. I'm not a Glock lover, but the ammo would be my first suspicion.MarcSpaz wrote:So, I'm kinda bummed out about this gun. I have run 800-1,000 rounds through my SIG between cleanings and had no real issues. One of the reasons I went with the Glock was because I heard, like with SIG, some guys have run 5,000 or even 6,000 rounds through them without cleaning and have had zero issues.
Well, after only 450 rounds, 451, 452 and 453 were all fail to feed.
Well said. There is a reason so many LEO use them. They work. All the time. I have many a Glock and have never had any resemblance to an issue like Mr Spaz claims.Jeff82 wrote:Is the Glock put together properly? (extractor - extractor depressor plunger - extractor depressor plunger spring - spring-loaded bearing - slide cover plate, in that order. "metal-to-metal, plastic-to-plastic". Getting them reversed causes problems. Also another common problem is the firing pin safety spring turning sideways above the firing pin safety.)
Are these jams possibly being caused by a bad mag? Have you been able to trace the problems to a particular mag? (number them)
As a mechanical design it is built to operate (with the proper ammo). With as many out there as there are that are working and yours not being significantly different, there is something out of "kilter". Glocks are one of the most reliable pistols on the planet. That can't be disputed. We gotta figure this out.
