Went to the range today and have a problem with a round that is not chambered fully. When I chambered the round I am 1/4" from being fully chambered. I had run about 50 rounds of my reloads when the guy next to me wanted to exchange reloads. This was the first round I tried and cannot move the slide either forward or backward. Any suggestions will be appreciated.

Fewer people are killed with all rifles each year (323 in 2011) than with shotguns (356), hammers and clubs (496), and hands and feet (728).Comment

Find a sturdy tabletop or shelf that you can place the muzzle of the pistol against and have it point in a safe direction. A heavy wooden table is best. Eye and ear protection is a good idea.
Place the front of the slide against the bottom edge of the tabletop so that the edge is trapped by the front of the slide and the muzzle.
Grasp the grip firmly with both hands, making sure no fingers find their way into the trigger guard.
Press hard. The slide should open and you should be able to lock it back.I'm retired. That's right, retired. I don't want to hear about the cop who stopped you today or how you didn't think you should get a ticket. That just makes me grumpy!Comment

NEVER, EVER, use someone else's reloads, NEVER!!! Having said that, do what the grouchy old cop said, it will take some violent movement to free it. More like whack it, not press. It will come apart. Once the slide is back, you may have to beat it out thru the barrel with a dowel. Check your extractor when it is done. Tell dumb *** fried to learn how to reload correctly, like buy a case gage, or chamber check the loads, either way, DO NOT USE anything but your own loads, and DO NOT offer your reloads to anyone else, especially not for $$$. If their gun blows up, guess who gets sued....Comment

I will never use anyone elses loads again. Lesson learned.
I did get it out...thank you for the advice.

All reloads for rounds that were fired in a glock have a bulge in the case. Normal resizing will not remove the bulge! You must purchase a die that pushes the case thru from the bottom up. That will remove the bulge. Then you should resize the case as normal. Glocks have a partially unsupported case when chambered and that causes them to bulge.Comment

Do you have a recommendation of that resizing die? I am using RCBS Special-5 Single Stage Press with RCBS Carbide 3-Die Set.My Avatar is the nose art on a Lockheed T33 at the Palm Springs Air Museum.Comment

Lee Buldge buster. I not so sure that a 9mm from a Glock has that legendary buldge. I know it was an issue with the .40 S&W. I could be wrong.Comment

Never put reloads in a Glock. Even Glock tells you that.Comment

Now if you insist, we produce roll sized, full length sized remanufactured nickel plated brass ammunition that has sold well in the 11 guns stores that carry us. 200,000 rounds produced and sold. But we don't recommend you put them in a Glock unless it's been modified to fully support the case, which is possible with a third party barrel changeout.Comment
-
If your own reloads fired fine, there is no issue with your current setup. I have loaded 1000s of .40 S&W for my Glock with no problems whatsoever, using the very same Rcbs Carbide dies.Comment

Pretty much every firearms manufacturer tells you that. The sad truth is even factory ammo can cause malfunctions on any given day. We had a customer at the range Saturday that was firing brand new Winchester Target 9mm in his Taurus PT92. The case blew out at the rear and the subsequent damage to his handgun was the trigger bar was pushed out about 3/16". Needless to say I told him to keep the casing, the box and the receipt so Winchester could cover the damage done and investigate if there was a QC issue.

I've had two catastopic ammo failures and they were both with factory ammo. One was with high end Elley and I could have lost my eye! I only shoot reloads in my Glock and most of my other guns too. It's the quality of the loaded round and not the fact that the case has been used before that makes a difference.NRA Certified Pistol, Rifle, Shotgun and Metallic Cartridge Reloading Instructor
