    My new Glock 22 jammed

    went to shooting range, and i shot the first 50 with no problems. On the next box of 50, i would say about 70+ rounds it jammed. The case got stocked and didnt ejected. So, i went home and cleaned it up and lubed it. Hopefully it dont happen again, Thanks for reading.

      Tighten up your wrists and the problem will go away. This problem is caused by shooting weak ammo with a limp wrist.

          After doing lots of reading and searching on Youtube. It seems like, Glock redesigned their magazine and the followers. The followers that people have most problems with, have a number 2 on them and less problems with the ones, that have a number 1 on the followers.
          So, i bought two new followers and 2 Wolf magazine springs. Once i get them, ill swap them out and see what happens. But, untill then ill do what Tuna Quesadilla mentioned. Once again, Thanks for all the info and tips.

            New guns have stiffer unbroken in springs and a weaker ammo will add to that recipe for malfunction. Some ammo don't burn as hot as others and tend to have less power causing slide to recoil slower or not go all the way to the rear and sometimes may not lock back on an empty mag. But it may also be limp wristing or a bad magazine.

              RT13 basically covered it. When it comes to FMJ (Full metal jacket) target practice ammo, not all ammo is created equal. Many brands of FMJ are manufactured to have slightly less explosive force than usual because they don't need to be very powerful if you're just doing target practice. But the downside to that is that sometimes they don't work well in certain guns. This is a notorious problem with the Glock (All calibers, not just the .40). When you use low-powered range ammo you have to hold it tight or else the slide will outrun the magazine spring and cause feed/ejection issues.

                  To the OP - since you're still learning, be aware that "jamming" is different from "misfeeding". You were having misfeed problems, but these problems are usually due to ammo or shooting technique. These problems can also be addressed in the field. Jamming usually requires gunsmith help and is a more severe type of stoppage.
