I have shot Glocks since they were in U.S.
I paid $274 new for my first one, new in box. In Gen 1 and Gen 2, I have or have had 17,19,20,21,22,23,23,27,and 34. Shot tens of thousands of rounds collectively through them. They are/were like an AK-47, shoot anything you feed them no matter how nasty they were. I have a gen5 23 that is the same way, always runs any ammo.
Now I recently bought a 19x and a 43x. 115 and 124 ammo FTE and FTF is common. At least one every other mag. Ball or hollow point both perform the same. (Factory loaded ammo, Win, Rem, Monarch, Federal) Both pistols will run +p ammo flawlessly.
I used to be my dept armorer, and have built custom Glocks as well as serviced our departments Glocks. I know how to fix the problem, lighter main spring or shoot +p. Since they are carry and not range weapons, +p will probably be my solution. I was just wondering if this is common on the new 9mm GLOCKS,? IS IT SOMETHING WITH THE X series? Did I just happen to get two problem pistols in a row?
(With the Gen 1 and 2, if you saw this, it was ALWAYS due to limp wristing. I am definitely not limp wristing them.)
