Glock 22 Issues

Hey Firing Line...

I sold my brother in law my Glock 22, never had so much as a FTF or FTE out of it.

Today at the range shooting Remington White Box, he had 10 failure to fires out of a box of 50. The primers looked like they were well struck but failed to ignite.

If it were one or two, I could blame it on the ammo, but 10 of them leads me to believe it ain't the ammo.

Since I sold the gun to him, I'd like to make it right.

Any suggestions? I'm thinking about replacing the striker and spring but wanted to see what the group thinks.
 
Give the brother who bought the G22 another box of ammo from a different brand.
Doing that will likely be less expensive than the box of ammo and there's no evidence mentioned in the thread there's any problem with the Glock.

I agree with Post#2.
 
Good point gents. I'm going to clean it and test fire it before going any deeper into it.

I'd just never seen so many fail like this before.
 
GF bought a used 9mm that FTF'd 1 out of 20 the first time out. I put those well struck rounds in my G26 and fired every one.
Took it back to the LGS of purchase and they said heavy oil in the striker. I cleaned it with a spray cleaner and no issues since, it was an M&P 9c btw.
Hope your fix is that easy...
 
Pull the back off the slide and clean out the firing pin chamber, spring, pin, extractor. There should be no problem with WhiteBox ammo.
 
Thanks guys, the gun is currently in pieces. My plan is to clean out firing pin chamber etc, re-lube and and try it with different ammo. I am hopeful that solves it. Will update after I take it to range.
 
Cleaned, lived, and taken to the range. Shot assorted Winchester, Remington and Blazer through it without a hiccup.

I'm chaulking this up to some funky Sig ammo.

Thanks for your suggestions guys.
