Hello all

I just got back from the range shooting my Glock 43, fairly new gun,2nd time I’ve shot It,
I’ve ran into the issue for the first time where I fire the weapon and the gun fires and cycles however it doesn’t cycle all the way in one motion, there is a bit of lag for lack of better terms? Is it my guide rod? I shot my Glock 19 gen 5 and it cycled fine, so I’m skeptical about saying it’s the Ammo, any ideas would be greatly appreciated

Sounds like you maybe limp wristing.

Stock pistol?

Yes, stock pistol, and that could definitely be a possibility, the round cycled every time though

 

[Ricky3043]

How many aftermarket parts are involved?

Haha none

 

[Ricky3043]

Is it brand new, not a gun bought used and is it assembled correctly? Not going all the way into battery?

Persists with another type of ammo? What kind of ammo. A little more details would probably net more definitive answers and suggestions.

You really won't know if it's ammo related if you only use one kind.

Sure, it’s a new gun, brand new blue label bought at the exchange, I’ve fired the weapon once before not an issue, this time I was using armscor ammo, and it delayed going into battery, the round still fired every time though, last time I shot a different type of ammo was not an issue, I **** the same ammo in my Glock 19 and the gun worked fine

I believe you answered your question.

Were you using the following Armscor ammo?:

• Caliber:9mm
• Bullet Weight/Type:115 Grain Full Metal Jacket
• Muzzle Velocity:1097 fps
• Muzzle Energy:307 ft. lbs.
• Quantity:50 rds/box

A possible scenario: the G43 being a new handgun could have a "stiff" RSA. Needs more rounds to break it in.

Try some "hotter" ammo and see how it cycles.

Yes that’s the exact one

 

[Ricky3043]

Purchase some better quality ammunition. That Armscor is about sorry as it gets.

That’s what I will do and yes the magazines are 02

 

[Ricky3043]

First round?

Loaded +1?

Are the mags -02?

Yes the mags are 02

Hello all thank you for your solutions, I fired the weapon with Winchester ammo and it did the same thing, I sent the pistol back to glock pending repairs, not going to rule out limp writing but I do have quite a bit of experience behind a pistol because of work, however I’m not infallible, I will definitely update you guys once l get a clear answer !
