Glock 5th Gen Double Feeding Issue.

[Big JD-From the hills]

The striker wasn’t held up and the problem was my feed ramp. It’s worked perfect since I polished it. I couldn’t get through a mag previously without it jamming. I’m aware of the 22 Gen 5 slides being a lot heavier. Everyone automatically just assumed I was limp wristing until they actually witnessed me shoot it. They quickly realized I wasn’t. It’s not my first time using a handgun either. I’ve fired over 6000 rounds in the last two months alone from a variety of handguns including other Glocks. I’ve also taken a few courses with professional handgun shooters as well to help me brush up on some skills for competing. People just don’t seem to want to admit that although Glocks are great guns and I love them. They can have flaws also like any other manufacturer and this proved exactly that.

ahh man too bad you didn't get some pics before hand. yeah so far my .40 gen 5 has chewed through atleast 1000 rds, factory, reloads, hollow points, lead, and whatever else i had left over from my sig p226. Nothing hangs up on mine, you can let the slide home slowly with your hand and its butter smooth. The biggest complaint I have is that the finish is crap compared to gen 4.... may as well have painted everything.

Yeah I’m just happy to finally have a functioning and reliable gun. For the first time last week I was able to take it to IPSC practice night and leave my Gen 4 9mm home. It fired and ejected every round I shot through it that night without a single hiccup. I didn’t get any pictures because it was hardly noticeable. But I could definitely feel something wasn’t right on the feed ramp. It was just enough to continuously cause failure to feeds and would just jam the bullets on the top of the feed ramp so bad. That you couldn’t budge the slide anymore going forward no matter how hard you pushed. All you could do was pull the slide back and eject that round. Which would then just do the same thing on the next round most times. I don’t mind the finish so far but I do like my Gen 4 finish more.

you could fire 10'000 rds out of a gen 4, and have less finish wear than 100 through a gen 5. or thats how my usa gen5 g22 is behaving....

What holsters have you managed to find for your gen 5 g22??
