I was expecting you to tell him his G26 was obviously a poorly designed turd and that you’d never buy a Glock USA gun, only Glock Austria!!!!!
To the OP, like everyone said. The first 100-500 rounds are stiffer. If you don’t have rock solid mechanics or quality ammo, it’s more susceptible to user-induced failures.
And while some people will tell you that ANY TYPE of malfunction means the gun is a turd, it’s just something to note and work on your mechanics and work on your malfunction clearing. Keep practicing too.
It’s not just the gun you’re trusting with your life, it’s your skills that you’re counting on. The gun is just a noisy paperweight unless the shooter behind it is solid.
