Glock Jammed!!!

[harmon rabb]

If you know WWB works, you should look for more. Fiocchi is a tad on the warm side if I remember correctly and it's usually inexpensive and clean. However, it's not likely to be found on the shelves of your local Walmart. If you're going to order online, I would stick with what works for your Glock (apparently WWB).

It's a glock. Not some finicky high end 1911. It ought to feed and eject any commercial ammo, no matter how crappy and dirty. Unless the particular batch of ammo he got is out of spec, there's something up with his gun.

Your glock jammed?! Ahh, I don't believe it! You limp wristed!!!!!!

J/K sounds like I would stick to what works.

+1 for the Fiocchi

Good ammo seems to be loaded slightly hot.

Glocks are notoriously vulnerable to limp-wristing, so a slightly lighter powder charge is guaranteed to make it fail.

If this is the only ammo it has ever choked on, switch to another brand and move on. (It is also possible that this particular lot or production run was loaded feeble.) Unlike a revolver which will fire anything that fits in the chambers and has enough power to push the bullet out of the barrel, pistols are dependent on ammo powerful enough to cycle the action.

Once again, the question was "So not all ball is equal. What brands are on the "hot" side of things, as my Glock likes hot ammo and I need to buy more ammo."

It is an AMMO question -- not a question of limp wrists or American -vs.- Austrian gun design. If we don't have any more ammo recommendations for bg226, maybe this one is done...?

I'm not sure this is relevant but I would try another batch of Rem ammo with a different lot # before I gave up on it. The demand for ammo has been so high that the manufacturers have been running at 100% capacity. I'm surprised we aren't seeing more QC problems.

Try some of the more expensive Lawman line, or one of the 147gr JHP loads offered by the major makers, or even consider trying some of the 115gr/124gr +P loads found among the major lines of defensive ammo.

It might only require that you 'step up' from the border line (in power and/or consistency) budget & bargain loads to find the ammo which works well with your gun when you're shooting it.
