You’ll begin to see how reloading might make it simpler to fire more rounds. However, ammunition will cost a lot of money. The G40 is a favorite among shooters who like the long-slide Glocks (G34, G35). Naturally, if that’s what you want it for. With all that extra length, it is definitely made exclusively for hunting. Boy oh boy I had a blast streaming through them.īut one thing is clear. Perhaps the magazine needs a new spring to fix the issue (in case of stock magazine). While shooting, stop pressing your hand against the exposed portion of the tube. At leats until you find the perfect magazine, keep switching.
The FixĪ new 22-round magazine should be used. Additionally, it occurs if you press with your hand on the exposed portion of the tube while shooting. The gun is bothered by the 22-round magazine. You will overall have a disappointing shoot. You will have failure to feed, magazine not going into battery, extracting and ejecting issues etc. You may face many malfunctions with several different types of ammo. Evidently, with proper maintenance, the Glocks’ wear can be reduced. If you’re in law enforcement, buying new guns is not an issue. You can also replace the barrels after a while. You can switch to a 9mm other than going for a. The S&W frames are not sustainable enough to take this pressure. The high pressure rounds accelerate the wearing out process. Glocks in 40S&W, so they switched to 3 pin frames. A Glock in 40S&W will likely degrade more quickly than a Glock of the same size in 9mm.Įvidently, Glock wasn’t pleased with the early’s build quality. Failures and Fast Wearĭoes Glock 40 wear out faster? Yes. Clean the gun, polish the feed ramp and check again. This is because the probem maybe the gun itself. You will often find that eliminating the ammunition, magazine and spring as problem by changing them still doesn’t resolve the issue. Check the ejector for deformations as well. For example, PPU, SIG Elite 10mm ammunition etc. Weak ammo and certain magazines also do not work well with the Glock 40. Possible Reasonsįeed ramp burs or any imperfection in the finish of it can cause these issues. The appearance of fired brass is good there are no signs of drag marks, pressure issues, or manipulation. The failure to feed is what I would refer to as a “soft” jam because all that is necessary to reload the gun and feed the stopped round is to pull and release the slide.Īdditionally, the slide always, without fail, locks back on empty. I’d wager that all Glock would offer to do for you is to drift the back sight. If you find that the rear sight drifting is unacceptable to you, you may just buy a new gun. You can also try replacing the barrel with a KKM barrel. You would have to move sights all the way right to move point of impact to center. The large frame adds fuel to the fire of this issue. It seems to be an inherent problem with the Glock 40. But many long barreled guns shoot better than this one. The length of the barrel seems to be a problem. Often you will notice along with less tighter groups that you are shooting a little to the left or right. Aiming IssuesĪpart from the accuracy problems from the MOS, the gun seems to reject all types of ammo. So switch to cross hairs for distances such as 50 yards. With a 3 mil dot, you can get good groups, but once you reach 5 mil or higher, your groups start to open up. You won’t get the same group with a dot optic as you will with a cross hair optic. To get a really small group, you need a scope with cross hairs. Glock 40s have no real potential for long-range accuracy. Because the front of the barrel has a lot of leverage against the locking surfaces.Ī Glock barrel has no support at the front of the slide. Possible Reasonsĭon’t anticipate good accuracy from a barrel that long. It is unreliable enough to make a 50-yard shot seem uncertain. The issue is inconsistent lock up of the shot. Magazine Issues Troubleshoot or switch magazines. Failures and Fast Wear Maintain properly or replace the gun. Failure to Feed Troubleshoot or replace the gun. Aiming Issues Drift the slide or replace the gun. GLOCK G22 GEN5 MOS 40 S&W 4.Glock 40 Common Glock 40 Problems and Solutions Problems Solutions MOS Problems Switch to cross hairs.
