Buddy of mine is in the reloading business and gave me a 500 round box of .40 S&W to play with.
I got a deal on a slightly used Glock 23, put a decent set of sights on, and took it out to the range to plink with today after we were done with the real guns.
First mag fired, slide locks back, one round still in the mag.
Check the weaapon for lube and my grip to be sure that I am not activating the slide release with my hands.
Second mag, same thing.
Third mag, fine, all rounds go bang.
Fourth mag, locks up early again.
I went back to my Para Ordnance for the rest of the session.
Is this to be expected of a reputedly fine piece of Austrian plastic?
