A question for the Glockophiles
« on: June 15, 2011, 07:59:00 PM »
I took my Gen4 G22 out again today.  It's shooting well, but I had one instance of the slide locking open before the magazine was empty (so much for perfection :)).  Anyway, I noticed this while cleaning up the brass:



Is this a normal primer strike for a Glock, or should I be worried?  With my recent string of bad luck with firearms, I wouldn't be surprised if something was wrong.

Thanks!



P.S.  It is shooting well, and the trigger is smoothing out (or maybe I'm getting used to it).

Here's my target after the first 40 rounds (10 yards, off-hand):

See? You should'a gotten a Sig!!!

What? glock-o-PHILES???  Oh, sorry, thought he said glock-o-PHOBES!!!!

Other than that, it sure does not look normal. I'd get it checked out.

And then trade it for a Sig . . . .

I thought they were called "Glock n Spielers"?
looks like the slide is unlocking early and the firing pin is wiping the primer

I'd be worried.  I've never seen primer strikes that look like that, ever!

Though this is 9mm, (I didn't feel like digging through the .40 bucket)   The one on the left is a Springfied XD and on the right a G17.   The rectangular pattern is normal for Glock.



Do note that both of these were loaded down somewhat from factory ammo.  (About 130 PF (grains-1000fps) )  Factory loads may have a more pronounced indentation.

Alf,

So then I shouldn't worry?

Alf, what causes this?  Does the case push back against the breech face?

All glocks make primer strikes like that. It's normal for them.

The nice thing about it is that you can identify brass that has been "glocked". Glocks will ruin your brass and you will not get as many reloads out of them.

Yes, it is.
BAC, you are seeing normal Glock firing pin marks.
Look at the firing pin hole - it and the firing pin are NOT round, they are rectangular.

Indeed. They are nice and deep and even as well (in the sample shown). The gun (FP at least), seems fine. As to the slide locking open? I haave no clue. Did you accidently hit the mag release? Did the round fire before this happened? Was there a partial feed? I've had a RARE FTF, but never had the slide lock. Thats just weird. ???
