Glock troubles

Try the Magpul magazines - way better than neutered Glock mags.

The 10rd mags for the G17/G19 can have issues.

[jeremiah12]

This is a well known issue for the 10 round mags for the G17/G19.

Here is a link to an old thread on this topic. https://www.calguns.net/calgunforum/...d.php?t=978596

You can buy some blocked mags from Jestice Arms https://jesticearms.com/10-30-Magazi...Gen-4-Magblock or buy 10 round Pmags for Glocks. Many have found either to be better alternatives.

I have purchased several ETS 10 round magazines and have no issues with them, but some have reported issues with them. The few 10 round Glock mags I do have issues with 115 grain ammo but generally handle 147 grain ammo just fine.

A double feed is usually caused by bad extractor or dirty/rough chamber combined with bad ammo that will cause the fired case to stick in the chamber. Add bad ejection caused by short or loose ejector, or short cycling due to low pressure, but enough for the slide to strip a round off the magazine. This will be a fired case and a live round being pushed forward.

Is your mag letting loose more than 1 round when the slide cycles? Meaning as the slide travels to the rear a round somehow jumps out of the magazine while the fired case is extracting. If somehow the fired case extracts and ejects the problem that’s about to happen is 2 live rounds being shove forward causing a double feed.

Which one does your Glock exhibit?

My G-17 has never done this, even after thousands of rounds using any of the four 10 rnd OEM mags I own along with a variety of ammo.

The OP mentioned he oiled the gun 'generously'. If the oil has gunked up the extractor, feed ramp or the chamber, that could be part of the problem.

Had a 1 bad Glock 29 magazine let loose more than 1 round, with both factory and Wolff + springs...body of the mag at the top was misshapen from the get go...it was replaced...zero issues after that.




Speaking of 17 issues, just received a couple of new 17 barrels...this problem was easy to spot.

" I know what's wrong with it, it ain't got no rifling in it...uh huh "

Since the hole is at Land diameter, they would have gone Kaboom !!!

So I went to Hodge rd. today and my G17 was double feeding at least once every magazine. I had this happen a year or so ago with 147 grain bullets but this time I was shooting Fiocchi 115 grain 1200fps. I thought maybe I was limp wristing so I intentionally limp wrist and it did not happen. I was told in the past it might be the followers in my factory mags. Have any of you guys or girls had this problem? And will a Glock fire without the mag in? Thanks for any replies. Tinknocker

Glock will fire without a mag.

My stock Glock 17 has been reliable with any type of ammo, etc. Except when I had issues with the springs in my extended magazines. Once I replaced the springs - was good to go. That said, Fiocchi 115GR FMJ are one of my favorites. At least in my experience, reliable.

Also, did you add any 3rd party stuff in your Glock? Try going back to stock and see if it still happens.

Cheers!

I tend to use whatever ammo I can find. I have used Fiocchi before and it ran with no problems. Every other brand has ran fine. As I mentioned in the original post I purposely limp wrist it and that was not the problem. 2 yr. old factory mags should not go bad so soon. I don't store them loaded. I also clean all my guns after shooting them and oil them generously.

I have run 1000s and 1000s of rounds through my G17/34/21s. Only had two FTF I can recall, 1 was a new Glock 5th gen mag on the 34 that the follower was sticky - had a rough edge on the plastic- cleaned that up and it has been running perfect. The other was aluminum cased ammo on the 21, where I used the ETS speed loader that actually pushed the bullet into the case (I didn't notice it till it got stuck on the feedramp, saving me from a much bigger issue).

The G17 is not a model that is picky and probably one of the most reliable models. That is why a lot of people will be surprised.

With Glocks less is more, I assume no mods on the pistol and nothing changed on your setup. Older Glock 10rd mags had issues, but I haven't had issues with the new 10rd mags.

I would recommend these steps
1 - Try different mags and see
2 - Do a detailed strip and cleaning off the whole pistol - and remember less is more - i.e. Glocks like to run almost dry - just a little smear of oil that you wipe up on components that need lube is the nest way to go
3 - If the able don't resolve it take it to an experienced Glock armorer - perhaps the extractor or ejector got damaged somehow. Trying to troubleshoot on the internet is pretty difficult - it will be hard to identify an issue without seeing the pistol in person

Try the Magpul magazines - way better than neutered Glock mags.

If I had to use those awful 10 round mags, this is what I would do.

Besides being better(as in they will run more reliably)they are less expensive then the flawed Glock 10 rounders.

In my G17, G19 and G26, I shoot Fiocchi 115 and Tula steel case 115 and I never had a problem. For HD/SD I use Winchester 147 JHP and no problems there either.

I am thinking your G17 needs a good cleaning.

[Munny$hot]

OP before anyone can help you does your Glock have any aftermarket ie non Glock parts? Storing your mags fully loaded will not cause the problem.

[Tinknocker]

I still have 1 box of this ammo next time I'll try a different brand with the same mags and see if the problem still happens. I was thinking of getting some Magpul mags too. Thanks guys for the replies. This is my first centerfire semi auto so it could the way I grip the pistol. When I said I'm generous with oil I didn't mean dripping wet.

[deadcoyote]

Really random but I see this way too much: you don’t happen to be using 10 round mags designed for a .40 Glock pistol in order to fit and extra round or two are you?

I can’t believe how often I run into this at the range and how the owners are always bewildered about how poorly the weapon functions.

That was on my fingertips just now as I read this.
