    FTF glock 34 gen 4

    First off I've never had any issues with any of my glocks but this one is giving me problems. Went to fieldtime to break in my new glock 34 and the first round was a failure to feed it happened 3 more times of a total of 50 rounds. Went home cleaned and oiled came back a week later with the same problem. Only ammo I've fired was Remington umc. Going back this week with some different ammo. I hope the problem fixes itself after couple hundred more rounds. Seems like my handguns are acting up I got a kimber that ejects rounds to the forehead, a xds that needs a recall and a glock that jams. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated

    IMO, glocks shouldn't need to be broken in.. That said, it's possible the recoil spring is still a bit stiff. It might not be recoiling far enough back to push the next round into the chamber. Try racking it repeatedly. It's the compression/decompression that wears the spring in..

    That or it might be user error. Depending on the rigidity of your grip or the placement of your thumbs, you might be limp wristing or riding the slide..

    These are just possibilities.. I wouldn't worry about it as Glock has a fantastic record for warranty work...

    I would clean it, again, and really inspect it (if you're knowledgable) and rack the slide a few dozen times. Then when you go to the range, be careful of your thumbs and then overgrip the heck out of it when firing. See if you can get it to run reliably and eliminate some possible problem areas..

      That's what I thought at first maybe limp wrist but the second time I went I put a gorilla grip on it and it still had FTF's.... I do kinda ride my thumb a little high but it never gave me a problem with my other 3 glocks. But your rite the spring on it is super super stiff I'm go home and rack the Sh*t outta it and leave it locked open for awhile

        The only FMJ ammo I've had issues with in any of my 9mm Glocks is Remington UMC. Had some FTF as well. All other FMJ ammo has been flawless. I feed the remaining UMC to my XD and it works fine.

          I know umc is the cheaper 9mm ammo but never had a problem with any of my glocks sig beretta.... I shot independence ammo in my beretta once and it blew out the back of the case... My hand kinda hurt but gun was ok no more independence for me happened twice

            My G34 gen4 has 100 rounds so far. No problem at all. I was shooting Winchester white box.

              Shot range reloads and PMC JHP through mine, no issues.
