Shooting Federal Premium 180gr Hydra Shok JHP's, I had SEVERAL FTF's. ONLY when shooting this ammo. I shot one mag full and it FTF almost EVERY time. I put a mag of UMC 180gr FMJ's in and it functioned FLAWLESSLY. Put another mag of Hydra Shoks in and same FTF problems. It was like the slide was stuck all the way back, and I removed the mag and tapped on the back of the slide lightly with my palm and it was ok then. Chambered another Hydrashok, shot it same FTF problem. Never had a problem with the UMC FMJ's. What gives?
 
Jammin' Glock???

My GOD man! Delete this before gocart and tetchaje1 see it! They
won't be able to sleep! :D (Sorry...Couldn't resist.)

HiFidelity, I'm not too well boned up on Glocks, but when it does it again,
look closely at the bullet nose to see if it's caught on the leading edge of
the barrel throat. If not...and this is a shot in the dark...check the
slidestop to see if it's slightly engaged in the slide's notch and simply
locking the slide back as though the gun were empty. If the slide stops
without touching the round, this is probably it.

If the slide has pushed the round forward, it's my guess that it's catching on the bottom of the throat. If the round is in the chamber and it stops, it may be stem bind. Look for a crescent-shaped mark on the side of the case just below the case mouth. It may be relatd to the cartridge overall length. Some pistols are persnickety on that point.

A rough breech face can cause this, and can also contribute to stem bind
with certain cartridge lengths...as can an extractor related problem.

Hard to say without seeing it...A picture would help...There's some pretty
sharp Glocksters here. One of'em will nail it.

Luck to ya!
