Glock 17, 10rd mag problems?

[EspoMan]

Just adding in. I have a 3rd Gen G17 with 10 2183-2 10 round mags with no issues even with PMCs.

Thanks for adding your input. Im starting to think that theres something wrong with my particular gun.

Yup I tap the mags against my palm to make sure they are seated and I give the mag a good thump with my palm after loading it into the gun. I honestly dont think its the followers. I think its the ammo. Like someone here suggested, maybe its too lightly powered. When I used the federal I felt more recoil. But I did some research online and tons of people use PMC with their glocks no problem. I ordered a variety of ammo to test. When I go shooting again ill report back. At this point I think im just going to sell it though. I lost confidence in the weapon already. Never had a gun jam on me as much as this one has.

Thanks for all the help guys

I would not sell the gun, get in touch with Glock and send the pistol and the mags back to them and let them resolve the issue. It sounds to me as though the firearm itself has an issue give them a chance to fix it.

Yeah I might as well contact them. I will call them Monday. Do you guys know what the typical turn around time is on Glocks when sent back to them?

So is it just the 9mm neutered mags?

...and not other calibers like Glock 22 ten round mags or glock 23 ten rounders, etc... that we have to be aware of the follower type?

Just checked all my G19 mags and they all have 2183 followers .. apples and oranges .. G17 mags are a different animal so some combinations work and some don't.

I had problems last year with a G19 feeding HP's consistently. Glock sent me out some of the 9mm #3 followers, and it fixed my problem. Not saying it will defiantly fix your problem, but it's worth a shot!

Photos for you...









The #3 followers fixed the jamming with HP's

Thank you sir.

That's a good point!! I haven't switched to 9mm for SD/HD yet so I haven't tried any HPs. All my 9mm shooting has been target ammo with my 2183 followers. I'll have to test carefully when I switch.

Yeah from what I been reading the only time people had feeding issues with the 2183 followers was with HP not FMJs

Generation 3. I checked the recoil spring. Its fine. Its a brand new glock

Double recoil spring? That was the issue before with brand new Glocks!
Maybe your recoil spring was never replaced by Glock. Find out from the store you bought it from.

[EspoMan]

No sir just single spring

Ok 2 things bad follower or weak magazine springs.

[EspoMan]

You think the springs could be weak in a new mag though? The bullets fit really tight

I have seen them new and bullets seating all the way in the middle and will not go up as well while brand new. There are some crappy ones.
