Yep, on the range with a Glock 43 (got it for $320, with tritium night sights by Truglo tg-h3 and grip reduction by Taran, and Taran +1 magazine floor plates on both mags) and decided to empty my Glock 26 carry gun (it was also a consignment gun I got 6 years ago for $400, with Henine night sights and Bowie Tactical Concepts grip reduction.)
Well the Glock 26, using Winchester T series +p+ 127 gr JHPs had a failure to extract. Bummer I say!
So when I got home I totally disassembled the slide, firing pin, extractor, firing pin safety, etc...
Cleaned everything up, inspected the extractor (looked fine), and reassembled.
But folks, never ever carry a UNTESTED GUN. So I have to shoot a bunch of ammo, with no jams, before I can let that 26 back in the holster.
Happily for me I had my 'other' carry Glock I don't pack much. Glock 32 in .357 using Gold Dot 125 gr JHPs. It's very accurate, powerful, and TESTED. I just slipped it onto the same holster and same mag pouch my 26 rides in and went out to eat with my wife!
Moral of the story.... have a second carry gun in case. Never know when you might have to take your primary out of service.
