Hi,
I just got a Glock 22 from a reputable gun shop that was a police trade in. I took it out to the range with my friend and put 250 rounds though it. I disassembled it before hand, but did not clean or do anything to it. We experienced many, many failure to feeds using both Fiocchi and Remington ammo. The FTF occured both during the middle of a magazine and upon releasing the slide after putting in a new magazine.
So, help me troubleshoot a bit here. The gun was probably dirty and unlubed, though visually it didn't look that fouled up. I imagine the mag springs may be worn, since the LEO that owned it probably left the mags loaded all the time. It's going to get a good cleaning as soon as the local store has .40 cal bore brushes in stock. And I suppose I could try other ammunition.
What else should I do? Also, this is my first handgun, but I own several rifles and have shot and worked handguns many times. Thoughts on what the problem could be?
