Clean and lube the Glock, and shoot another couple of boxes of ammo through it. It will start to function fine, but not because of cleaning and lubing although you will think so. It's because you'll instinctively make adjustments and stop limp-wristing it. However, blame the gun will keep intact your manliness. I understand.

Limp dicking it. You can only shoot properly if you have achieved full erection first.

Yep. No erection. Your dick has to be RAGING HARD WITH JOHN BROWNING PRIDE in order for a 1911 to run flawlessly. Seriously, try it. It works!

Quote HistoryQuoted: Never had any HK handgun I own fail on any type of ammo. Ever I've owned an HK USP Compact, an HK-P2000 and an HK-P2000SK, which is still my main "house" gun. Both P2000's failed to extract on the very first round fired and then ran without a hiccup forever after. I always thought that was funny but have had no issues since the first shot. Probably some gunk they put in new guns prior to shipment. |

This is kinda weak but maybe it just needs to be broken in.
Put a couple hundred rounds through it and see what happens. Did you try different magazines? And are you limp wristing it?

We don't do logic here. It had to have been the result of the firing pin not hitting the primer fast enough, thereby causing the powder to burn too slow to properly launch the bullet out of the barrel. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: I always clean and lubricate my guns before shooting them. I like a clean machine. Nope... I did not limp wrist while shooting. I usually do my limp wristing at the bar when I go out on the town. No... I know how to shoot (been shooting and a gun owner over 40 years). It was simply a matter of the Glock not properly feeding the rounds. What you do at the gay bar doesn't help us figure out what the issue is |

Owned a Glock 17 gen 3 for about 10 yrs. Extensive range time through work or my own courses. I've fired it well clean and lubed as well as dry and dirty . It's jammed once. And I think it was my fault ( thumb placement).
They may not be perfect, but I love them. And I'd happily buy another. I don't even have issues with sig etc. But I like Glock so far. |

Sample size is critical @OP. You are 1 person with 1 experience with 1 gun.
That is not nearly enough data to make the general statement that Glocks suck lol. I am a gunsmith and have probably shot thousands of Glocks and have only had one failure and that was a bad Ghost connector that made me go for a fun ride. That being said my example is still too small to say Glocks rule. Just use a little logic. |

Glock isn't any better than most of the other main line guns. It sits in the group of "acceptable" guns I'd go to to arm myself but even then I'd have to learn to trust the individual gun.
Having been in LE for 14+ years, I've seen many Glocks fail for various reasons. In the early 2000's when I was first starting and Sig, Beretta, S&W, and Glock were all slugging it out and were all well represented in the LE field I didn't see Glock doing any better than anyone else (and I called it that Glock would eventually win out thanks to their marketing and pricing). There was one ONE firearm that I didn't ever see have a hiccup of any sort- 66's and 686's, we had a number of veteran LEO's that kept their revolvers until retirement. I carried my Sig 226/9mm for 10+ years, and then the Sig 320C from there on out. |

I think the simple answer comes from Newtonian physics. There was more resistance moving the bullet down then barrel than the shooters wrists(probably made out of overcooked spaghetti instead of flesh and bone) so old noodle arms absorbed all the energy and the bullet just stayed in the barrel. |

I didn't think Glock had a bad design or model when I got my NIB defective G30, and the repaired model I got back worked fine. |

As some mentioned it might be a lemon.
My last 2 19s had a lot of plastic shavings in the firing pin/striker channel. I suspect the process of inserting the channel liner created the issue. I didn't have any issues with filing to fire though. Check here:  Attached File |
