glock troubles

Try this grip

It's all in the grip technique

Perhaps but I use my Glock to shoot all the crappy ammo that won't shoot in my other guns, Remington being one of them.. but it's a Gen 4

Remington 115gr works in my G22 Gen 4 with 40-9 conversion and G17 RSA. The Gen 3 RSA is the same one used for the 9mm, 40S&W and .357 Sig.

You sure you're not riding the slide lock? I have a bad habit of doing this on my Glock and even worse on the Sig 226. Too used to riding the safety on my 1911.

Haha. Same here.

^^^ This! I still do it on occasion when unholstering quickly. Practice, practice, practice......

Okay then it's the grip..Glocks don't fail

Well I've had some Glock problems (G17, Gen 4) as well but kinda the opposite of the OP. On the first trip to the range with my new Glock, it shot about 150 rounds flawlessly. On the second range trip, the slide locked open on every shot - no changes in grip from the first trip. Three other shooters tried the gun and several types of ammo were also tried. This made no difference.

Thought the slide lock spring may have been installed incorrectly, but a quick look into the frame shows it squeezed under the pin as it should be. Also the gun is relatively clean and the slide lock does not bind or stick up.

Very puzzled. The same issue affected my friend's G17 on his first range trip then the problem vanished on the second trip with no changes to the pistol.

I would also go with the weak wrist, the grip is one thing but if you don't hold it firmly you might get all kinds of issues

In my case, I don't buy it being a grip issue. I shoot other folks' Glocks frequently and have never had a lock-open failure. As mentioned in my earlier post, other Glock shooters tried my pistol and experienced the same failures then went back to their own Glocks and did not have an issue. Similarly, I experienced lock-open issues with my Glock but when using other Glocks (all G17s) experienced no issues. All of this with all guns using the same Commercial ammo.

While I don't dispute that limp wristing is a possible source of problems in some situations, I can't see it being a credible explanation for what I am experiencing currently.

Could you take some pics of your glock with the slide off, looking down at the internals. Also have you done any mods to the gun at all, changed a trigger spring or put in a extended slide release?
