Love my glock 43, can shoot nice tight groups with it and it is now my CCW. I have about 800 rounds through mine, and have recently run into a problem that has me worried.
Using wolf WPA military classic (steel) ammo I experienced one failure to eject and a complete jam of the slide in 50 rounds.
The slide would not move at all and I could not eject the round. While at the range I looked up solutions and found out that I could brace the edge of the slide above the barrel and push on the frame. It took about half the force I could push with and the casing was ejected.
I ran another 50 rounds of fiocchi brass through just fine.
One of the causes that Im not sure about is that on the prior failure to eject I disassembled the gun to look down the barrel to make sure it was not a squib. When I put the recoil spring assembly back in, I may not have put it all the way in properly (there are two depths of bracing, one is tight and the other fits but the spring is not compressed).
Would that be enough to cause the completely locked slide? Or Did my forcing of the slide cause the recoil slide assembly to come off and the slide locked for other reasons?
