It certainly would have fired. In fact, I'll shoot it tomorrow. Well, on my carry ammo, I have always liked the 165 grain Critical Defense bullet. But yes, I will be going to something different. I'll be switching to This BULLET now. And a brass case! Not nickel. What I use in both 380 and 357 sig. I bought them for grumpy bear country, since I have killed a few hogs out of the truck with them. I saw a special deal on New Glocks if you ruined the other one

Should get a Glock wouldn't do that! Real men don’t use plastic guns I have carried combat Tupperware on duty for ten years now. One malfunction when someone else loaded the mag with dummie rounds. She aint purty but she always go boom. It is the AK-47 of handguns. Granted....they point like $#1+ and the trigger is like the emergency brake of a 93 Ford escort but they do go BOOM!
I wish stupidity was not so handsomly rewarded.

We switched to the Hornady Critical Duty ammo at my department, I really like it but have 1 major concern. I have had numerous fail to feeds because the tip of the bullet catches on my magazine and causes it to go vertical in the magazine. I am apparently the only person in my department to have this issue, and I’ve been issued all new magazines because of it. You sure it’s a magazine issue and not a throat issue?

The OP’s problem was caused by a maintenance issue that all guns are susceptible to regardless of manufacturer. Rust is caused by neglect.

I'm guilty of neglecting the pistol long enough to cause this issue. I good cleaning and some slight oil in the right places, and she's back up and running.

Thanks Chad! As an Armorer for a metropolitan police force for over 20 years, I’ve seen several semi-auto pistols with their action frozen due to rust. I remember a S&W M59 that I had to disassemble that the barrel was frozen to the slide due to rust around the barrel bushing and in the chamber. Beating it with a rubber mallet didn’t work. I ended up soaking it in liquid wrench for 24hrs then was able to loosen it with the rubber mallet. I could never understand why someone who carried a gun for a living was so negligent with equipment that was meant to save their life. Oh, by the way, the round in the chamber was a 115gr Winchester Silvertip. Their casings were brass which corrodes too.

Yes! This happened in about a week or two's time. I often unload my carry guns, but I'll check it more often now. Especially after working in the rain and sweating.

Press check Chad!!! Keeps the brass/nickel from corroding and getting stuck. But I'm T.A.F so I press check in my sleep though.

The whole grip angle argument is the biggest bunch of BS.
It doesn’t take any effort to get used to a Glock grip angle, or to switch between a Glock and 1911.
The secret to a long life is to try not to shorten it.

Can't tell you the number of officers and civilians whom I have trained that shoot Glocks. Even with folks transitioning from another weapon to the Glock I have never had an issue with anyone having problems with the grip. Interesting how Chad posted an issue with ammo causing a problem with the weapon and it has morphed into a Glock issue.

I fell out of a boat into a lake with my S&W Shield on my hip. I just set it on the dash of the truck and never cleaned it. A few weeks later I shot it and no issue and no rust.

Every gun feels different every person. Some people have zero pointing issues with a Glock, I am not one of them. You place a Glock in my hands and I ahoot low if I don’t use the sights. It’s also feels to boxy in my hands. My P226 points very true and feels great

Could be one reason that TCOLE asked for my input when they rewrote their Basic Firearms Course and included it. I point a Glock real well. I also point a Sig well. Maybe there is something there.....

Did you not carry it for a week? If not and you carried it since, It's a good idea to perform a press check every time prior to holstering (like when you put your holster on your belt).

So maybe do a little dry fire I don’t have a problem shooting them, I shoot them as accurately as my Sig, but it requires using the sights vs being able to use peripheral vision which makes my follow ups slower. They are obviously a great gun, just not for me.
