Glock 22 chamber, need an answer
Today I don't know why I took out the barrel out of my Glock 22 and I put a round in it and I found that the round is little bit loose inside the chamber. To be honest I expected to be a tight fit. Now I read some stories about Glock's unsupported chamber, but I'm no gun expert so I need some logical explanation about this thing. I know that nothing is wrong with the barrel or the ammo (180gr WWB), it just makes me wonder how all that thing works. Here's a video of the "discovery" :supergrin:

Forget the YouTube and the hysteria it creates. Your rounds should drop in and out freely. They are supposed to. In 1998 the FBI tested 3 G22's and 3 G23's, 20,000 rounds each of full power service ammo without a problem. The FBI then selected Glock as it's issue sidearm.
You got too much time on your hands......
Put the barrel in the slide without the spring and push it forward and back, put the gun together and feel the slide to frame fit, put a mag in it and push the back forwards and back...........
I would be more worried if it was a tight fit, if it were it would jam all the time.......

Work on direct feed for the soundtrack, was a little muffled :tongueout:
I don't follow youtube's hysteria - I made the video :supergrin:. I don't doubt my G22. It's a perfect weapon, but I wanna now the technical aspect of why the chamber is made a little bigger that the size of the casing. I know after beeing fired the shell expands, so what happens if its a tight fit ? Is it gonna be tough to extract that shell ?Forget the YouTube and the hysteria it creates.

No worries. Do you think so many law enforcement agencies would be using the G22 if there were problems? Shoot and enjoy.
I could have put the actual song on the video, but youtube will delete the video cuz of the copyright crap....the world is going down bro. It won't supprise me if I get sued in the near future, because I was singing some song in the shower :whistling:Work on direct feed for the soundtrack, was a little muffled :tongueout:

feeding reliability
O yeah. I enjoy it to the max. I found a cheap range not to far away from me and I'm there every weekend :wavey:No worries. Do you think so many law enforcement agencies would be using the G22 if there were problems? Shoot and enjoy.
Got point. You reminded me that the round goes inside the chamber from an angle, so I guess it needs some space to go in all the way. :wavey:feeding reliability
Yup, and its held tightly in place under fire.Got point. You reminded me that the round goes inside the chamber from an angle, so I guess it needs some space to go in all the way. :wavey:
I remember firing my first glock, a G22, some seven years ago. I was always intrigued by the perfect breech face indention in the primer, along with a smeared dimple in the center. I assume the higher pressure rounds do this, because the .45 is just a smeared dimple. Sorry to get off track.
+1feeding reliability
Slightly looser tolerances will provide for the trouble free feeding/extraction of all types of ammo. No need to worry that your JHP won't function properly, or that you will have other, ammo related problems.
