I mainly bumped this to show Maleraka this:





Just found it this week. I will be getting one soon to test it out.

Nice.

I just have your regular run of the mill 9mm Glock 17.

Was what I learned how to use in Firearms at the academy so I went with it.

I want to have a couple Glocks around for when the collapse comes.

Need to get my hand gun license first though

Where's the rest of the barrel?

I have a Px4 Storm .45. Very similar. I've had issues with the slide action getting stuck when shoving the next round into the chamber. Not mine only, but a friend of mines' dad has the same gun as I, and has the same problem.

Other than that, shoots well... but because of that issue I've had, it's not my carry weapon.

Pfft, with our Harper Government, everyone is a law abiding citizen. Who the eff needs a license anymore?

... or did they leave that piece of Government over reaching in law abiding citizens lives in place...

Glock 17 is a great gun, as are all Glocks, I was not a Glock fan before I bought the Px4 as I am now or I would have gone Glock. The 17 is bit large to carry "concealed" though, especially on a small frame like yours.





You have to consider a few factors here:

1) How many total rounds have you put through it? Guns sometimes, not always, need a break in period like a car engine.
2) How many different types of ammo have you used. Different ammo feeds differently through different guns.
3) Is it cleaned and oiled properly. Try a smidge of oil on the slide and feeding throat. Or the feeding throat may need to be polished.
**4) Mild chance it could be a magazine issue too.

I would pick up 50 rounds of a few different types of ammo to start with, after a good cleaning and oiling, and see which if any have the problems. If you narrow it down to a certain type of ammo, problem fixed. If not, then you can move on to polishing the feeding throat.


Many different factors can cause this especially on a new gun.


I personally have never had more than maybe two misfires with this gun in over 2000 rounds of different ammo. One of those was a bad primer and/or powder in the shell. It went "poof" with a little smoke and no bang. Primer was dented but did not fire, so that one was the ammo.


Good luck. I would not trust it either as my carry if there is consistent problems.


*Lastly, take it to a gunsmith to get it looked at. If you do not want to do that, then just sell it or trade it in and get a Glock, since you will probably never use it much.
