Hi,
I purchased a new Glock 26 earlier this week and finally I had the opportunity to shoot it. I was using Winchester White Box from Wal-Mart at the time. Before I shot it, I did run hoppes #9 through the bore.
Here is my scenario:
1) Put 75 rounds downrange quite well
2) Decided to do rapid fire. 6 shots into the magazine, the slide locked back prematurely with 4 more rounds in the magazine. This was concerning, but easily fixed but manually operating the slide lock with my thumb. The 4 other shots went through without an error.
3) Decided to do rapid fire again. About 3 shots into the magazine, again, the slide locked back with 7 rounds remaining in the magazine. More concerning.
4) Not really knowing what else to do, I took the slide off to see if I could determine if anything was 'wrong'. It looked OK to me, but I did notice a part was 'bent'. I am not certain if this should be bent, so I included a picture. it is the bright metal part in the central part of the picture (sorry, not sure of the technical name of the part)
So, my real question is
a) In looking at the picture, is this bend supposed to be there?
b) Do you have any rationale as to why the slide locked back prematurely? Anything I can check and/or tweak.
Thank you,
Synapse
