Need help, Glock 22 failure to fire!

[sc870]

Before I start, please don't tell me the only solution is to throw it out the window or get rid of it. Lol.

So little info, purchased gen3 glock 22 new about 3 months ago, put about 1500+ rounds thru it. Decided to shoot 9mm so I recently purchased a lone wolf conversion barrel and upgraded the lone wolf guide rod assembly.

After installation I noticed the slide was not being fully racked forward. It was off a little, all I'd have to do is push it forward with little force. Shot about 200 rds of 9mm and it was fine. Took it out today and it had a failure to fire once every 10-20 rounds. It would chamber, but when I pulled the trigger it didn't quite feel like the mechanism was reset all the way.

Swapped out the barrel backed to the oem .40 cal. Kept the lone wolf guide rod assembly and sure enough it was the same issue. Swapped out the guide rod assembly and it was fine for another 100-200 rounds. I also noticed both tines when I changed the barrel, the lone wolf rod assembly wasn't sitting correctly on the barrel.

I would like to know how many of you guys have experienced this, is it some bad parts I got, is there such thing as a break in period for the new guide rod assembly, is there a fix, or simply, what should I do?

Thanks in advance!

Have any parts other than the barrel and guide for been changed out? Is it the stock recoil spring?
Edit: also what ammo are you using?

[sc870]

The recoil spring came with the guide rod. Purchased from midway. It is the ismi spring and yes those are the only components replaced. The first 200rds of 9mm was 115gr federal. Next 200 rds of 9mm was 115gr Aguila. And all the .40 was 165 gr lawman.

Stick to using the factory recoil spring assembly, there is no reason to use anything else - and as you have discovered first hand, plenty of reason not to use anything else.

Stick to the factory parts and get a G17 for 9mm plinking.

Does the extractor need to swapped out?

Not for plinking. But for defense use, the extractor and many other parts are different in Glocks 9mm vs 40SW - I wouldn't count on a conversion barrel alone when the chips are down. But the factory recoil spring assembly is the same for 9mm and 40SW - no need to change it.

^ this. No need to change the rsa and several reasons not to .. like you found.

So the pistol works fine with the stock guide rod/spring? I bought a stainless guide rod and a ported barrel for my Glock 23 from Lonewolf. I'm pretty sure the barrel was a smidge out of spec from the Glock dimensions. I would get a light primer strike every once in a while. I think because the slide wouldn't quite make it into battery. I could feel a slight rough spot when cycling the slide with the Lonewolf barrel but it was smooth with the stock barrel. This is just a guess.

For the most part yes. It worked fine with the stock guide rod assembly. Ran out of 9mm before I realized to swap out the rod assembly. W/the stock barrel and lone wolf wide rod assembly it still didn't fire. Kinda sucks, this was one of the main reason I went with this. So I can shoot both 9mm and .40. I was looking at g19's anyways. Guess I'll check out the local shops, again. Really wanted a g23 tho...

Just freakin buy a Glock 17 upper assembly! swap when going 9 and vice versa back to .40
Just buy used online or new.
For what its worth, the factory G22 unit and upper G17 assembly will fit in the box together!!

I've got a few thousand rnds of 9mm through a glock 23 with a Lonewolf 9mm conversion barrel and stock g23 recoil/spring. No problems. Throw away the LW RSA and you'll be fine.

[glockprotected]

I do that with my G24.
I carry in the gen 2 box the factory ported barrel in the box in case I want to see the flames!!!!

[hermosabeach]

keep the factory spring....

If you shoot a lot of 9MM, then I would also buy a 9MM extractor

Yeah....40 is a superior SD round anyway. Comparable ballistics to a .45.
