    Glock 19 - new followers - Aguila 117gr HP FTF issues

    Could use some advice here. This is a follow up to this thread:


    I had the last round jamming problem with the old followers using both Hornady Critical Defense as well as Winchester silver tips. If the first round loaded was a FMJ and the rest were hollow points there were no issues with either type of ammo in full mags.
    I finally had a chance to get my new followers from Glock installed. They are the #3 followers that say "9mm" on them. The old followers that had the original problem of failing to load the last HP round in the mag were 2183's.
    I had the new followers replaced on all 4 of my mags at the Glock Store (their service in the store is outstanding despite the problems people have had online with them).
    Went to the range and the Hornadys and Winchesters fired all 10 without issue in all of the mags.

    When I tried the Aguila's I was getting jams 2-3 times per mag! When I could finally get the mags out (they were difficult to remove without using the gap in the mag well) there was a noticeable "squared" edge on the bullet jacket.
    I never shot the Aguila's with the old followers as I just got them. FMJ ammo works fine in all mags

    Since this is our HD gun I'm a little concerned. Glocks are known for eating everything. Has anyone else had problems with this ammo? Should I put the old followers back on and load the 1 FMJ / 9 HP combo or just stick to the Hornady ammo for HD and avoid the Auguila?

    Try the Aguilas with the old followers to see if they jam as well.

    WTB used AK MFER.

      Just found this on another forum:

      "Posted: 10/30/2012
      Well, anyone need some of this stuff?

      M&P 9c does ok with it.

      M&P 9PRO hates it, keeps getting hung up on the bottom of the feed ramp.

      Kel-Tec Sub2000 doesn't care for it much, feed issues.

      It goes bang every time it makes it in the chamber, and accuracy is just fine, but getting it in the chamber sucks for me and my guns. Guess I'll be shooting the carry gun a lot more to burn through this stuff.

      Off to order something else to train with the other guns, especially since the 9PRO is the gun I shoot the most."

      Looks like I'll just avoid this stuff in the future.
      Have a box for sale if anyone is interested
