I've been having extraction failures, resulting in type 3 jams. Seems to be about once every 100 rounds on average, but there have been times when they came in spurts. I have meticulously cleaned everything multiple times, swapped extractors and springs with my G17, and most recently put in a full new set of springs. Took it to the range today to see if the new springs fixed it and sure enough, two jams in about 150 rounds .
I have done enough record keeping on this problem to know that it is independent of mag and ammo--it has happened on all four of my mags, and while shooting WWB, AE, Blazer, frangible ammo at the Sig Academy, and Corbon JHP. The spent casings that get left in the chamber don't seem to be damaged in any way.
I got home today just barely too late to call Glock, but I'll be talking to them Monday. I just hope I don't run into problems getting it shipped back to me in Mass (I bought it in MD and moved here with it).
Even worse than the hassle of sending it off and waiting for it is the fact that I have lost confidence in the gun now, even though I really liked carrying it and I know they are supposed to be ultra-reliable.
Bleah. [sad2]
