Glock Problem

Cameron203
First off please stay on topic here. I have a glock 17 that about every 40th to 50th round instead of ejecting it to the side it ejects right back on me. Ive looked it over and i cant seem to figure out what it is. The thing is only got maybe 600rds through it. I took it to an gunsmith he adjusted the extractor on it and its still doing it. Anyone got any ideas ? Thank you for your time and have good rest of your day.

    I have a G19 and have about 1500 rounds of FMJ though it with no problems up until tonight. Was shooting up some old carry ammo, about half a year old. And the last shot would not feed in. The slide stuck back with the last round still all the way in the mag. Tried 2 different mags but had the same result. The ammo is Federal 124 grain hydra-shock. Where is the problem here? One of the mags was one of the originals that came with the gun. The other was a factory mag.
    Any sugestions? Thanks
    Nate

    The slide lock is holding the slide back, I was able to just pull the side back and let it go and the last round would load.

    From the information you have given, it truly sound like your girlfriend is limp wristing the pistol. The glock 27 has a much heavier spring than your 21, which is probably why she can shoot the 21 and have it work, and not the 27. You may be able to get a lighter spring/guide rod assembly to put in the gun. However, some proper instruction should probably eliminate the problem. You might switch her to a full size .40 like the 22 instead, for as a rule, the shorter the slide/barrel, the heavier the recoil spring.

    If it shoots fine with you and not with her, then I'd definately say it is limp wristing... Have some other people with small frames shoot it and see if they also have the problem, if so, maybe changing some recoil springs or something similiar might help.

    Any reason why she can shoot my glock 30 (sub-compact glock with staggered stack and dual spring just like m27)? Could it be the .45 has more powder and more recoil which compensates for the limp wristing?
    Thanks again guys.

    Anything is possible cameron, but in my experience with limp wristing, it seems the problem is often accentuated by a gun with higher recoil.
    It could simply be that the .40 is a higher velocity round and has a faster recoil whereas the .45 might have a slower push that she can handle better.
    One thing I think I'd try is to put in an extended mag (with grip extention) into that 27 and see if that helps. Often the extra grip will allow them to hold the front down better and give it a better chance to cycle. Obviously, if this gun is for protection then it defeats its purpose, but then you'll know she's close to being able to handle the 27...

    She's limp wristing it. Have her use both hands and teach her how to hold the gun in the web of the right hand, and use the index finger of the right hand to pull it into the web. This will reduce muzzel climb and stop the malfunctions.

    If she can't do it, get her a steel framed (heavier) gun to help her tame the recoil.

    How you doin'!wolf_evil_smile_md_wht.gif

    Tease her into shooting with a firmer grip---just tell her, "You shoot like a girl!"

    JUST KIDDING!

    I have tried the grip extension's have a pearce and a scherer. Tried both. Also tried working with her, attached a hogue grip; no dice. The dealer I bought the gun from is where I buy all my guns, and he's a good dealer he has the gun right now and said he is going to try a few things (I think a different guide rod) and if that doesn't work. I am going to see how she shoots with my m30 and my hk compact, and then I will look at these as replacements.

    Worst case scenario, if I have to sell the glock 27. What is a good price to ask for it. Gun was purchased in sep 03' less than 1000 rds through it. Has original case, paperwork, receipt, 2 grip extensions, 1 scherer +1, and 1 pearce, hogue grip, 1 uncle mikes holster, and 1 bianchi leather belt holster. No cosmetic damage to gun. THanks guys.[:(]

    I had a lady in the store the other day that was havin the same problem with a different type of pistol. I would take your girlfriend back to the range, when she is going to fire it , grip her wrist, if she doesnt have any jambs or problems have her work on her wrist muscles or get a wrist brace till she gets comfortable with out it.

    Try have her using a wrist brace (bowlers style if it doesn't intefere with her grip)before you give up on the gun and get her a revolver.
