unclejake 428 Posted April 1, 2013 Report Share Posted April 1, 2013 Bought a Gen4 26 last fall and love the lil Glock, but it has a bad habit of not wanting to feed all rounds! Every 2 0r 3, ya have to rack the slide to get the next round to feed, then it does good for a couple more. Pistola is clean, factory mags, does it with all of them! Same rounds go right through a 17 and a 19. Any ideas? Maybe not enough break in time? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BigChongus 765 Posted April 1, 2013 Report Share Posted April 1, 2013 Only does it with one type of ammo, or everything? Also, have you tried the mags from the 17 and 19 in it as well? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cguiro 29 Posted April 1, 2013 Report Share Posted April 1, 2013 Are you limp wristing it? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
theorangeplanet 968 Posted April 1, 2013 Report Share Posted April 1, 2013 A Glock shouldn't need any kind of breaking in period. Call Glock and have them check the serial number. As I understand, many of the first Gen4 Glocks had issues and were remedied by a different spring. A G26 is probably the easiest one to limp wrist as there's just not as much pistol to grab on to. Hold it like you're trying to strangle a goat and see if that cures it. If you're still having problems after that... you should call Glock and ask them for advice.

unclejake 428 Posted April 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2013 No limp wristing, have used mags from Model 19 and 17 plus 18. all types ammo. Will call Glock and see what they have to say. Thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
unclejake 428 Posted April 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2013 Just got off of the phone with Glock, they said to send it back to them and let them take a look at it. Two-four weeks turn around time, maybe less. So, we will see in a month or less! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GeorgiaPD 408 Posted April 3, 2013 Report Share Posted April 3, 2013 We were having some feeding problems with some of our Model 27's when using mags from the 22's and 23's. The mags are considerably longer and some of the shooters would put too much pressure on the portion sticking out of the bottom of the grip frame. We took out the longer mags and put the shorter mags back in and the problems went away. We only had this issue with certain shooters using the same guns during testing. Just throwing another thought out there for you. Hopefully you can get it worked out. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
unclejake 428 Posted April 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2013 Got the problem straightened out! Couldn't stand the thoughts of sending it back to Glock when I couldn't at least figure out what the issue was! Stripped the slide down completely and found the culprit..spring on extractor pin/plunger was out of place/ not seated properly! I droped the plunger pin, reseated the spring where it was in the indent properly, reassembled, and it fired 50 rounds through it without a hiccup! I guess it had fell over when being assembled and went un noticed. Shoots like a champ now! Glad I gave it another look before sending it back! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
theorangeplanet 968 Posted April 8, 2013 Report Share Posted April 8, 2013 Wow, good catch... never would have thought to check that. That certainly saved you a good 40 bucks or more on next day shipping back to Glock! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
unclejake 428 Posted April 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2013 It just kept bugging me that I couldn't find the problem, so I started the old process of elimination. If the Glock is supposed to be the AK of pistols, I knew it had to be something simple, just had to stumble across it, and stumble across it, I did! You are right, the $40+ bucks it saved me will mos def take care of a bottle of Angels Envy! (For you bourbon drinkers, I HIGHLY RECCOMEND IT!!) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
