Bad ammo or gun problem?

[stilly]

Took out a brand new Glock 23 for my ccw class and went through around 175 rounds. 1st day had about 5 misfires in 100 round of Magtech ammo. 2nd day I used PMC and had one misfire in about 75 rounds. Drove by the store I bought the gun and they said with the shortage of ammo, quality control hasn't been the best. These are at the bottom end of ammo grade but I just wanted to make sure I don't have a issue with the hand gun. Strikes were really good so I do buy his explanation. But if I did buy the top of the line ammo and had the same problem would it still be the ammo?

You sure those did not come out of a hi-point? I thought the G guns had squared off pins and CERTAINLY seemed to hit harder than that.



Take some viagra! cause yer firing pin is prolly BENT. You need to straighten it out...

is this a common problem?

Primer strikes are off center, not good at all, MagTech is junk, and those are reloads, all different head stamps and primers. You have some kind of junk ammo. None of those look like Glock strikes, should look like this. I have run over 350,000 reloads thru my Glocks over the last 22 years, and have never, ever, seen anything like that. My once fired reloads, notice the rectangular Glock strike.

^agree. Not like my glock strikes, and that's not factory ammo, random brass. (edited)

Something wrong with explanation or pics

Sure is. Viagra is a known fix for many things that are floppy!

But also not to be ruled out, in this case the OP might have a special batch of jedi bullets. They have the power to deflect the firing pin to the left or right and thus AVOID hitting the anvil and saving their lives for a little bit longer...



Okay now in all seriousness though, I would NEVER guess those to be hits from a gLoCk. Hmmmmmmmmm Fractured fireing pin? Broke/splintered at one point and now that piece fell out and what you have left is flopping around with excessive play in the firing pin carrier doodad?

SEEMS LEGIT. Is this a Gen 5 glock with the new DOJ approved microtramp-stamping? Yeah, I can see how it affects the guns now...

Gun problem.

I've always said Glocks can KB due to out of battery discharge.

I would check the chamber area. I would take the barrel out and see how those rounds sit in the chamber. Got a feeling they are seeting too deep.

Rephrased the question: Did you cycled a few rounds through the gun before you shot it? Maybe you have a few rounds that have set backs.

Thanks everyone. Looks to be close to 50/50 I'll swing by another shop to get their opinion and see what happens. I did cycle several dummy rounds through it. Once I get it figured out I'll post it. Thanks again.

Well don't just take your gun and go home. Get some picz of the way it looks when it is open.

All glocks make off center light hits like that when they try to fire not fully locked up. Seen it many time with students shooting crappy ammo. Usually oversized bulk range reloads or gunshow mystery reloads. The round is fat, doesnt seat all the way in the chamber, and the barrel is not allowed to rotate all the way up into battery.

Update, I got a hold of glock tech support a couple days ago. Gave him the info I listed but forgot to mention the off center strikes. He said to put another 100+ round through it and wear the spring in ?? Yesterday mentioned this situation to the ffl dealer I use when I sold my sig and he said NO, gun issue send it back. Called glock again today and added the off center strikes and he said right away recoil spring, took my info and is sending out a new spring. Will update again after replacing it and shooting some blazer ammo through it.
