Well it's official the 40 is working as I cleaned and brushed the feed ramp now all rounds feed!!! A friend wanted to polish the feed ramp and I may still do that.  Craig

I polished the feed ramp of a couple of my Glocks with a dremel tool, polishing head, and green jewelers rough. Worked pretty good...doesn't take off enough material to change the profile. Only takes a few minutes.

My friend is going to do it as he has done it before. He doesn't use the dremel tool but does it by hand some way.  Craig

Boy I got that screwed up!! He did use a Dremel tool with a buffing bit of some kind. But all done now and I will shoot tomorrow weather permitting!.. Craig

I posted above but will make this short. I shot the 40 today and the feed issue is still there. I will try FMJ reloads and if that doesn't work give up.  BTW when it shot it was very good. Craig

I haven't posted in a while as there hasn't been to much to report. I was still having problems on the first round being a problem to feed out of the mag. The good news is I loaded a bunch of Gold Dot 180g and they seem to feed just fine. I did everything I could think of to try to screw up the feed but it just fed all rounds. So now we are down to the 165g round being the culprit or whatever. I think I have said previously that the Nosler store bought rounds fed and shot great. I am giving up on this for now as I just got in some blue bullets for 9mm and need to load up some of those.  Craig :P
