It would help if you gave the brand of ammo. Was this quality factory stuff or bubba reloads?
How did it “jam the gun up?” Like it blew the pistol up and now you need a hammer to get it apart? |

They are great guns but they are not perfect. They can have issues but give it time and it will be damn reliable.
Also in before the limp wrist crew. |

I have been shooting Glocks since the early 1990's and after many, many thousands of rounds the ONLY FTF and FTE events I ever had were with Shield Arms mags in my 43X
OP needs to provide more details as noted. Are Glocks the perfect pistol, no, the perfect pistol does not exist...but IMO they are as near to perfection as you can get. I am going with less than adequate grip and limp wristing the pistol |

Did you strip it, clean it, and lube it before you took it to the range? Even brand new weapons can have grit in them.

Quoted: I bought a brand new Glock Model 17 recently and took it shooting today. I had 3 FTF's in 50 rounds and it jammed up the gun. And here I thought G-locks were incapable of bobbling the ammo being fed to it. What 17? Gen3, 4, 5 or 5MOS? did you lube it first or just shoot it with the packing antiseize grease? What mags? Any modifications? Install a red dot sight with screws that were too long? Most importantly, what ammo? |

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.

My ammo was Hornady Critical Duty. The very same ammo was ran through the 5906 and it fed/ejected perfectly... unlike the Glock. The Glock is a
Gen 3 and the magazine is OEM Glock. It was the gun and NOT me! |

Gen 5 pistols have different shaped opening for the striker to pass through the breechface compared to Gen 3/4 glocks. That has been known to cause Gen 5 strikers to bind due the brass shavings entering the striker channel. I was advised of that issue in a recent armorers class. Clean your striker and striker channel might help.
Nevermind I see above it is a Gen 3. |

Puts 50 whole rounds through a brand new pistol and has 3 issues with the gun. Then, after providing absolutely zero information that would help with diagnosing the issues he’s most likely causing, uses this one single pistol in this one single moment of time to wholly bash one of the most reliable and durable pistol designs and manufacturers of all time.
Only 3 possible conclusions: 1. Retarded DU plant 2.  3. Or my vote….  Attached File |

And here I thought G-locks were incapable of bobbling the ammo being fed to it. P.S. I wanted to add that I've had several Glocks and never limp-wristed it. The gun just jammed up 3 times. My S&W Model 5906 was also shot and it never missed a beat! G-locks suck! In the In the seek for perfection, there is only disastrous results. |

glock perfection can only be achieved by replacing the guide rod, mag release, trigger, sights, barrel, & slide, then grinding an undercut into the trigger guard + custom stippling.
garnish with flared magwell + punisher logo back plate & you are ready to turn heads at the local firing line. |

It was simply a matter of the Glock not properly feeding the rounds. A Glock 33 would not feed correctly. When I compared the barrel against another 33, the feed ramp appeared to be slightly shorter. Which made sense, it explained why the rounds kept nosediving into the bottom of it. The other was a 20SF, that would not shoot hot 10mm ammo. I tried swapping the recoil spring to different weights, and it just would not feed anything other than bullshit watered down stuff, that was going 50fps faster than .40 ammo. |

The “fix” is to replace the magazine follower with a 9mm1 or 9mm3 follower. Though that will sometimes result in the mag holding 11-Rounds. The real fix is to throw the 10-Round mags in the trash and use a new factory17-Round mag |

I just had to send a gen 5 17 mos back to the factory after it couldn't get through a mag of HSTs after multiple attempts. Apparently there was something wrong dimensionally with the breech face causing it. I sold it because I don't feel like keeping a gun around I can't trust.
I still trust my other glocks and will probably get another 17 mos to replace it soon. |
