2nd time at the range, 2nd Malfunction... Did I get a lemon?

Hello

Did you buy the gun new? Have you contacted your dealer?

I have also had some challenges with my new G22 Gen 4. Both my dealer and Glock have been easy to work with. I was really surprised to get a live person on the phone when I called Glock.

Best regards,
Jason

 

Where does the "gunsmith" think the ejector is supposed to be?

I'm willing to bet the slide catch is hung-up or busted at the worst. If you already gave the gun to someone to fix, I won't bother trying to explain what to look for.

 

it`s not a clip it`s a "magazine" . A clip is for a long gun not for pistols !

 

no problem . Keep us updated on ur issue . Hope it gets fixed .

 

I would not worry too much about the jams or failure to extract. Could be you, the ammo, maybe the gun. In most cases I would say you. You need to get this stuck slide sorted out first.

Your extractor looks fine and I can't see anything wrong with anything else. The trigger looks right. Can you move the slide release/stop lever with the slide back like that or is it jammed solid? Did you try wacking the back of the slide to shove it forward. Did you take the gun apart before you shot it?

Seems odd you could get so many rounds through it with relatively few issues and then the slide is stuck to the rear. There is not much that would normally cause that. I have never seen it in years of shooting Glocks. I suppose something could have broken, but I sure can't think what it would be.

Good luck and keep us posted. I'm really curious about this one.

 

First of all, you are looking at the ejector and not the extractor. Secondly, the ejector is fixed and appears normal in your photo. Make sure the gunsmith is a certified Glock armorer before he touches your pistol.

 

Try holding the trigger back while working the slide.

 

Of course you are right, Danny.


I meant ejector. The "Newbs" have me saying the wrong things. What's that saying?.....say something enough and it's true. Pretty soon I'll be saying clip.

 

I am not fan of the brown "break in lube". I really think glock uses it less for break in and more just to have some lube that will remain until glock sold. I had a slide jam on a G26 and I think it was combination of the break in lube and additional lube I added forming some kind of gunk for lack of better term. I broke slide free, cleaned real well, relubed with normal oil and it has performed fine since then.

I recommend you clean real well, lube per glock instructions and then hand cycle a few hundred time NOT letting slide slam shut. Then clean, lube again and hand cycle some more. Then clean, lube, shoot. At least this can not hurt anything and it should wear in the slide-frame connection without expending ammo. Good luck.

 

My comment wasn't meant to be a slam at FNG's. I was one once.

I seldom, intentionally slam anyone.

 

Bought a G17 NIB about 2 months ago. The staff at the range I shoot at said they recommend you don't clean or lube it for the first 1k rounds. I'm about 300 rounds into that and I haven't had one FTF or FTE yet.

One trigger pull means one bullet leaves and the next one is good to go. Exactly the reason I got the Glock.

I'm shooting mostly 124gr. FMJ American Eagle with some Speer 115gr JHP for good measure.

We'll see how it goes from here.

 

I also have never seen a glock lock back like that. Anything man made can have mistakes. If the problem is found and fixed I would test fire like normal and then trust it to do it's job.

 

Really?

I thought a clip was for loading a fixed magazine.
Mostly in long guns but not unheard of in a pistol (Mauser Broomhandle).
A lot of long guns have magazines. Some are fixed and some are removable.

 

He's BAAAACK!

We missed you!
