Well, I finally got to take my brand new Glock 36 out to the range today. Everything was going great! I really liked how it was shooting, but on around the 50th round I had a failure to eject. I cleared it and kept shooting. All was well after that until round 88. The just fired case was not properly extracted from the chamber and a live round somehow ended up jammed in the ejection port pointed straight up! Then I noticed the recoil spring guide rod poking out of the front of the frame!!
After clearing the gun, I packed up my stuff and headed out of the range area. A couple of range employees and I took the gun apart to see what had happened. Apparently, the plastic guide rod had separated from the metal disc that holds the assembly together. I can actually reassemble the guide rod unit, but that disc will pop off at any second and springs will fly everywhere.
I am planning to contact Glock's customer service tomorrow and ask them to send me a new reciol spring assembly. Does anyone have any suggestions for dealing with Glock customer service?
Has anyone seen this problem on a Glock before??
Not sure if I'll ever be able to trust this one now.
