i've always believed that reliability is key when leaving a gun stock or the way it was intended to perform. like a car, the more you mod it, the less reliable it becomes. (aftermarket parts) anyways the topic today involves glock magazines.
let me start out by saying i purchased my first handgun in about 2007, a glock 22 and left it bone stock. around the 1500 round mark the gun finally had it's first malfunction, a stovepipe with blazer steel case 165gr (the cheap stuff from walmart). it was also a cold day as i recall it so no biggie.
in january i got my ccw permit and bought a glock 27. I also got the pierce magazine extension on it and have not had any problems with it so far, however when i use the factory glock 22 magazines in the glock 27, I keep getting the round tilted down in the magazine after firing and the slide would lock on the rim of the round. I would have to drop the mag and rack the slide to clear it. I tried not gripping the mag and just the grip but still same problem. My friend has the same two guns and he says his g22 mags work fine in the g27. I don't know if I'm the only one having this issue? i tried all 3 g22 mags i had in my new g27 and the magazine kept jamming like it's binding up or something, the three g27 mags i had ran 100% in the g27. we tried a g23 mag and it also jammed...
the other day we went back out to the range and i put one of my pierce extensions on one g22 mag in the g22, along with a 6" extended barrel and flashlight. Fired several rounds and had the same jam i had with my g27 involving the mag.
i don't know, maybe it's time for new g22 mags? or springs? i don't keep them loaded and they are all factory. i'm just gonna leave the g22 mags stock for the g22 and the pierce grip on the g27 because they run fine in the g27. it's kind of frustrating because i was hoping to carrying the g22 mags as spare for the g27. anyone have a similar experience or suggestions? the g22 has about 2000 rounds and the g27 about 200. i like to keep them clean too, oh and the ammo used is winchester white box 165-180gr. I know it's not the best but it's rather a magazine issue, not ammo.
