What is the correct way to load a round in the chamber? And by this I mean the +1 round on top of a fully loaded magazine. I tried to lock back the slide and place one in the barrel manually but the action would not completely close with a round in there. I did a functionality check according to glockfaq.com and my pistol should be working correctly. Should I do this by putting a loaded mag in, racking the slide, then dropping the mag and putting another round in the mag? Or should I be able to do it the first way? Thanks in advance. PS I tried to search b/c I could have sworn I saw this covered once before but had no luck. |
that's the way (with any semi) |
+1 all autos are designed to be loaded from a mag h/w, those w/ the external extractors (such as glocks) are ok loading by locking the slide back, dropping a rnd in the chamber and slamming the slide home (slide must slam home w/ full force to ensure closure) internal extractors, like on 1911s=do not do this, b/c it will F-with the extract best bet: load straight from a mag |
I guess that is what I did wrong then. I gently let the slide come forward and that is what made the slide not close completely. |
