New production gun...

[rvb]

It's back...

Got my 34 back from glock today...
I don't think they did anything to it other than clean and replaced my std slide stop w. a new extended one.
It still seems to just dribble brass/rounds.
First match of '12 is this weekend; still debating if I run this gun or play in SS. Thinking I'll go ahead and chance the 34 so I can really see if it's running any better before calling them next week. But running the slide by hand, the rounds are still landing just in front of my right foot.

I'm bummed. I was all pumped to get back into dryfiring and now I just can't seem to give a sh...

this was a gen3 right? So weird since that is the main gun so many Glockers are using.

Picking up my Gen4 G34 on Friday. Like always, it's first shots will be in a match on Sunday.

yes, gen 3 (purposely hunted for a gen 3 to avoid the ejection issues in the gen 4s).

Are you shooting your loads or factory?

Tried both, both behave the same way.

amazes me, considering the almost cheating light loads I shot in my previous G34, wished I could have kept it now.

Even my 147gr "gamer" loads are 134pf.....

[HICKMAN]

you shooting it this weekend?

 

[rvb]

Yes. Malfunction rate is about 1/100. Expecting a jam or two....

Was more like 8. There were a couple more that weren't caught in the vid (actually ran stage 3 twice. First time had about 3 malfunctions. Second time only had one)

[David Rose]

That was just sad.

When my boy started shooting he started out with a gen 3- 34 and had some of the same issues come to find out he was leting his thumbs ride the slide. Not saying this is your issue but in the video appears your WH thumb is high. But that still doesnt explain weak ejection with manually operating the gun.
I dont think Ive ever seen a glock ever run that bad!

I was originally concerned that was an issue... or some issue with how I was shooting the gun. However, since I shot David's 17 w/ no problem, and he shot my 34 and had the same problem, I feel confident it really is the gun. And I can rack the slide as hard as possible, and the brass just dribbles out.

I had the same problems with my G19 last months match, but I was riding the slide like Daniel said.

My Gen4 ran like a champ for the two stages we got to shoot yesterday, but I'm also shooting factory American Eagle 147's.

I have no idea why yours would be doing that other than thumbs, my gen3 shot some really light loads.

Hope you get it figured out, hard to shoot with no confidence in a gun.

Maybe I need to shoot a match w/ a known good Glock to be sure it's not me (or.... who wants to use my gun in a match?!). If I had won the $1/2 billion lotto this weekend I would just go out and buy another glock while this one gets fixed.... at least by not buying a ticket I have $1 to contribute to a new gun... haha.

BTW, first 80 rounds or so of the match was with FACTORY ammo, so at least the first 3 stages. I switched to my loads after I ran out of factory.

[HICKMAN]

so both were having the same issue?

Not quite sure what your asking....
yes, both factory ammo and my reloads had the same issue.
yes, the gun experienced the same week extraction with David Rose shooting it.

Why not just buy a Colt 1911 and not having to do all that stuff??

Because you cant shoot a 1911 in Production division.
