Failure to Feed<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The rounds get jammed in the gun. They appear to function normally with cooler ammunition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The remaining half of the rounds either nose-dive into the magazines or get caught under the ramp of the barrel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Possible Reasons<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Hotter loads, such as Underwoods 180gr TMJ, and a wider range of ammunition all contribute to the escalation of the problem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Stovepiping and round stopping at the ramp may be there. Many of these can be due to spring issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The mag wall(s) may occasionally bend inward and toward the center.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Fix<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Definitely switch to Whitebox mags or something of similar quality. Replace the RSA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If the mag-well is bent, fix it with the mag-tuning tool by Brownells. If magazine spring is problematic, change it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ejecting Issue<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The cartridge fails to eject and the next round jams behind it. Not extracting entirely, ejecting, smoke stacking, etc are one of the others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Possible Reasons<\/h4>\n\n\n
\n
\"Ejecting
Ejecting Issue<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

The extractor may be chipped on the corner. Also, the <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Fix<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

When you remove the floor plate, your spring should have at least two full coils visible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If things get too awful, you should think about getting a new magazine. An excellent aftermarket magazine may solve your problem!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Examine the polymer spring loaded bearing, extractor depressor spring, firing pin safety, and extractor carefully. Carefully clean the pin and replace any distorted parts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you have replaced the RSA or installed a tac light, a little jamming initially is common.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Slide\/Trigger Reset Issues<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

It slides to the back of the gun and stops. The slide fails to engage the trigger assembly. On the frame, the slide lays flat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Possible Reasons<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The recoil spring may get displaced out of the assembly. Additionally, you may have stripped your Glock out of lube.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Fix<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The very first thing to do is to lube the hell out of your gun (just kidding! Lube properly).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To reassemble, pull back the trigger while pushing the recoil spring into the locking lug notch. With gen4’s, it’s a typical problem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alternatively, you can simply slide the slide-front back onto the frame while holding it down and pushing the safety plunger in to allow the striker to move more forward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Slide Stop Pin Problems<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The slide stop snags the slide nearly immediately after each round. Which you must release before firing again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Possible Reasons<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Either you’re hitting the slide lock lever, or the spring is constantly pushing it up rather than down because it was placed wrongly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the pins may not be under the slide stop spring. It may instead be on top of the pin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Fix<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The force of the spring will be drawing the slide stop up and toward the slide if the slide stop spring is positioned on top of the pin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the spring to naturally press down on the sliding lock lever, you need to place it under the pin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can do this by disassembling the gun. Or you can take it to an expert gunsmith.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
