So I have owned a few glocks at this point and can detail strip them in a heart beat. I usually try and buy them new but I got a great deal on a glock30. Took it to the range for the first time the other night and had 2 issues. While shooting one of the 5 mags that came with the gun all that looked to have been new and in good shape. I had a failure to feed on the last round. The spent cartridge was ejected but the round below it got jammed in to the feed ramp and did not seat properly.
History has told me it could be do to a bad magazine. Unfortunately when these two jams occurred they were the last 4 rounds I had remaining (loading only two at a time). When I got home I took the magazine in question apart and tried inspecting it for any obvious obstructions. Nothing seemed out of the ordinary so I put it back together.
I had ordered a new ejector just in case, Ive heard the newer style ejectors are more reliable so that's on its way for piece of mind. I was also shooting tul ammo and didnt have any issues with the federal brass I was shooting before I got to the crap tul.
I am familiar with glocks but this is my first 45. It is a older model in great looking shape but I was wondering if people had replaced certain parts when they bought their older MA compliant glock 45s almost as a "must do" to update the gun.
