Title: G 40 failures
Post by: Wolfie on December 04 2015 06:12:42 PM MST
Shot it for the 1st time today. Nothing but failure to ejects and stove piping. Called Glock got the label and sent it back. (Used Armscor, Remingtons and Blazers) It seemed like there was not enough oomph to cycle the slide.

I'm not surprised with the Armscor but the Remington UMC and defiantly the Blazer should have enough grunt to cycle it.

This gun seems to me to be designed from the ground up for real 10mm ammo.  Their's a lot of mass in that slide.  Even slightly limp wristing it will cause stovepipes with PPU in my G40.

I'm sure Glock will have it sorted out and back to you soon.

Hmmm,
Any idea what would cause these issues? My G40 has digested everything pretty well. Hopefully, Glock will get ya all fixed up.

No ideas, just have bad luck with 10's out the box.

Have 7 of them and 5 had to go back.

Stinks. I hope Glock doesn't start reducing the recoil spring weight.

Or, if this is genuinely the issue then they should offer two spring weights with the gun....one light and one heavy.

That's where I am with my G20 longslide. No way will it run plinking ammo with even a 20# spring, suck thing is a 17# stock spring is a bit light for super hot ammo. Running an 18# now..........I could be nuts, but I swear springs between different manufacturers are not all equal.

Anyway, Wolfie, hope Glock mothership gets you a running G40 ASAP.
