I just bought a new Glock 43. Ever time I load 6+1 it jams on the first shot. If I load just 6 no problem. Any suggestions please. Thanks

Needs a break in.

The factory Glock magazine can only fit 6 rounds.

Correct, but I have one in the chamber also

Just making sure.
I’m assuming you load the magazine, rack the slide to get one in the chamber, and then remove the magazine to load one more round. Correct?

Load your magazine with 6 and let it sit for a few days. To me, it sounds like the magazine spring is pushing the rounds in the mag with too much tension against the slide during recoil. The mag spring just needs to be broken in.

Always feed the +1 off from the magazine.

Ok, thanks for that

New 43 needs a break in. The mag is too stiff. Unlike most other Glocks the mag is a single stack, requires more tlc. Always sling shot off a loaded mag.

That could be why you are having problems. For some reason I suspected that was the case. Never do that. It could damage the extractor. Always load the round from the magazine.

Anytime. Let us know how it goes next time you go shooting.

And do not continuously use the same cartridge as the first one to rack into the chamber. After a number of times that bullet could experience what is called bullet set back. The bullet will go lower and lower into the casing and could cause an over pressure situation.

Thanks, by the way spoke to a Glock tech rep yesterday. You and the other responders are spot on with your advice. He absolutely said both recommendations ie; sling from magazine and break in magazine.

I am always happy when Glock agrees with us. It proves they know what they are talking about.
They may manufacture them, but we shoot the living crap out of them.
