I picked up a 26 in a trade and took it to the range today, it did not like my reloads at all, it jammed miss fired fail to eject, and as I had it on the bench pondering and looking at the cases it did fire It seemed to me that the primers not were being hit hard enough.
I compared the spent cases to some that my 19 had fired and there were a noticeable differnce, Im thinking a 6 pound striker spring might fix some of the issues ?
 
I doubt anybody fires their 26 often enough to warrant a change in parts! :rofl:

Was this 26 bubbasmithed in any way?
 
The gun is clean and I checked the striker channel with pipe cleaners and a cotton swab with alcohol it was clean, who knows what bubba did before I got it. Im going to feed it some factory Gold Dot and see what it does in the mean time I have a new striker spring ordered.........................Thank men,.Best/picker
 
Do the plunk test to see if your reloads will drop fully in your barrel, twist the bullet if it does and see if it falls out on it's own when inverted. You mat need to use a shorter OAL.

I plunk everything with a gauge, good idea tho, I will get the barrel out and do some plunking.
 
Well I learnt something today the reloads plunk perfect in a Dillon case gauge but not worth a damn in the Glock barrel, I have some gold dot so I used that in the barrel and they plunked perfect In the barrel.
Message here is so much for Dillons case gauges and I got to tweak my press.After this im betting the little 26 shoots factory ammo lites out.
Thanks men for the good advice...............Best/picker

The striker safety plunger bore can accumulate primer shavings and assorted schmoo, too.

That's not enough.

Take the slide off and push on the striker block plunger (round thing) and see how far the tip of striker protrudes past the breech wall face. If not enough, you need to clean the hard caked on fouling packed BEHIND the breech wall face the striker square body slams against.

This caked on fouling is HARD and will need long soak with Hoppes #9 to remove or scrape with small flat head screw driver.

It may also be dirty striker block/channel so I would clean them too.

After cleaning/scraping these parts, tip of striker should extend deep past the breech wall when striker block plunger is depressed. If you still get inconsistent primer ignition/indent, make sure the primers are seated slightly below flush around .004" or run finger tip over seated primers and you should feel slight below flush primers. Then they should all go bang.
