I've had my Glock 23 for about a month now, and have been pulling my hair out trying to figure out why it sometimes fails to feed, regardless of what type of ammo I put in it. Turns out I only had myself to blame! Someone noticed I was having problems at the range and they instructed me to lock my wrists. Just like that, no more feeding problems. I know it is a newbie mistake, but I just wanted to out this out there for anyone else who might be experiencing the same issue. The crazy part is that I am in Security Forces and routinely shoot my M9 Beretta with no problems using the same grip. I guess the increased recoil on the Glock .40 needs a but more resistance to cycle the next round. I only hope this helps someone else who might be losing hope on their Glock.
Yea my girl friend had the same problem with my gun she was not holding it right and it jammed and all types of other things .
I had the same exact problem when I bought my .45. I had only shot 9mm but went ahead and just bought a glock 21. After being all hyped on how great glocks are a glock was the first gun I ever jammed up due to limp wristing but didn't get it at first. 9mm wasn't powerful enough to jam up so I didn't know I was doing anything wrong until stepping up in caliber. I was kinda pissed thinking my glock wasn't reliable but it was all my error. Since learning to lock the wrists I've not had a single failure to feed. Def a good thing to bring up for new shooters to consider. I had sort of brought up limp wristing before bc I was so shocked my military friend who carries a glock 23 quite often was jamming both my guns every other shot at the range and had the audacity to say it was my guns lol. I told him he needs to train with handguns cuz all his 23 will do is get him killed since he doesn't know how to use it. I honestly think he should just carry a .38 so he can limp it all he wants without jamming his gun because he was being real stubborn about it.
First time I shot a Glock I didn't hit paper and that was after qualifying in police academy with a double action auto. My buddy saw I was jerking the trigger. After learning the trigger everything was great. This and limp wristing cause a majority of Glock "issues".
Definitely, I was so pissed after I ran the first box of ammo through my Glock. Admitting that you were the problem is a huge step lol. Women say we have a problem with pride, but I'm not sure what they're talking about
