Glock 21SF standard rail ambi mag catch

[Shooter1]

I have a G21SF ambi mag release standard rail... I bought it a year and a half ago, and only shot it less than a 100 rounds. I see this gun about twice a year for a week at a time. But in 8 moths I will be a happy civilian again so I will see it alot more. I heard that the mag catch is a problem and will fail on me... Is this true? What would you do if it is?

if it fails send it to GLOCK for a replacement frame. The new frame will be a standard mag release frame.

I had one GLock ended up replacing the frame after unsuccessfully changing out the mag catch

I've put a few more rounds through mine and never had a problem with the mag catch. But the spring seems to be popping out of place causing short strokes with the resultant FTE and/or stovepiping.

I spoke with "someone" with Glock about the ambi SF21, He suggested only loading 10 rds in the mag, thus reducing pressure on the mag catch when inserting a mag.

I didnt buy a ten round gun though I bought a 13 round gun...... I am coming home in May... Im going be rough with it and see what happens. Im a little worried from the stories though. I been trying to contact glock and see what they say. I want the glock confidence back.

Update! I talked to Glock, they are just going to be on the safe side and install the new frame! Glock is #1
