Has anyone ever had a jam with a 9mm Glock?

My only personal failure is with my dad's G17L, cut-out slide, stamped with "Brigada Antiterrorista" on the side. That particular gun will FTF the very last round out of all but brand new magazines. Never a stove-pipe or jam or anything, it just closes on an empty chamber with the round still in the mag. Interesting, but not really a show-stopper. Besides that, it's honestly one of the most fantastic shooters I've used in recent times, so I'll gladly forgive it.

My personal Glocks have had zero malfunctions that I know of, of any kind, with several thousand rounds through each.

I've never experienced a jam or stovepipe. Of course, as most others have said, all guns are machines, and all machines eventually fail.

Glocks are very reliable. They're not absolutely reliable.

Yes, I have some that have yet to malfunction but every machine will fail sooner or later.

If you get a malformed piece of ammo, your gun will jam period.

Most Glocks, like every other gun, have jammed at one point or another. But getting their owners to admit it is quite another thing.

I just finished a matched Sunday, and watched a Glock jam twice. If anyone tells you their handgun will not jam, they just haven't shot it enough.

The one time I fired a Glock I had three failures in about 9-10 rounds.

Most freguent malfunction with sub/gun is a type #2 (stovepipe) and normally caused by the operator failing to utilize an aggressive enough grip, thus causing the stoppage.

It's a handgun not an ice cream cup.

My G19 jammed on it's first range trip. It hadn't been cleaned, just loaded and fired, over and over. Finally it got pretty hot and jammo... I doubt it will ever happen again.

Only from bad ammo. I can say the same thing about my Kimber 1911.

I own a G17 Jan'09 and a G19 even newer. In the first 1000 rounds I only had 1 FTF and that was because I was loosing the grip on the gun and the slide hit my weak hand thumb. That shouldn't count, operator failure not gun problem. Now I keep my thumb forward and gripping, not up like the Fonz. It feeds eveything; Federal HP, Federal round nose, Federal flat nose, Speer flat nose, Magtech, Sellier & Belliot, PMC, ...

If you haven't seen a Glock fail, you probably haven't been around them very long.
