→Glock 19 round not fully feeding?

2007-11-25 17:05:27

I was shooting my glock 19 9mm and I have a new round get jammed during feeding. The spent round was fully ejected, but the next round was caught at about 45 degrees, so it never got feed into the chamber. Any guesses why this happened? This isn't the same as stove-piping is it?

Answered By: CIH(Ret)

This is not a stove pipe. A stove pipe is when a spent round is caught by the closing slide and is left sticking up in the air resembling an actual stove pipe. Thus the name. Your problem is a fresh round not chambering properly. There are two common reasons for this to happen. One is that your magazine is not completely seated into the magazine well. When you insert the magazine, give it a rap with the heel of your hand to make sure that it is completely seated. If the problem persists, the next common cause is the magazine. Usually it can be traced to the lips of the magazine or a weak magazine spring. If this is the problem, you can either replace the magazine or take it to a gunsmith and have him adjust the lips and/or replace the magazine spring. There is another unlikely cause but one worth considering if you determine that the magazine is not at fault, That is the ramp may need to be polished. Sometimes a flaw can get past the inspectors or you may have inadvertantly scratched the ramp when cleaning your gun. This is highly unlikely but someting that you may have to eliminate in determining the cause of the problem.

→Can a Glock 17 Hi cap magazine fit on a compact Glock 19 with a "spacer" so the grip is full extended???

2007-10-15 18:57:53

I find the grip for the Glock 19 too short for my hands and I have the lousey 10 round magazines. Can I kill 2 birds with one stone? Get a bigger Grip and a bigger magazine. I imagine there is a plastic spacer to take up the extra space of the longer magazine sticking out the end, but who makes it??

Answered By: Sheepdog

Yes, the G17 magazine will fit on the G19. Spacers are available, but unnecessary, really. They'll give the grip a more contoured feel, but I have no trouble shooting without them--and I have pretty big hands. I have a G19, and when I carried it, I also carried a G17 magazine as a spare. If you want a really high capacity magazine, you can also use a G18 magazine, which holds 33 rounds of 9mm ammo. Yes, it will stick out of the bottom pretty far, but on the bright side, the extra weight will help tame recoil.

→Considerations as buyer and in LA...Glock 19 purchase?

2008-01-29 12:05:19

considerations? Also please recommend a top notch glock fitting laser sight? Why no slim line version of the 19? If manual safety is important then what is similar to the 19 and a great piece?

Answered By: akluis

why no slimline version of the 19? well, the only reason the 9mm competes with the 45 is the concept of "which is better, 15 shots of 9mm or 7 shots of 45!" It's large capacity supposedly makes up for it's weaker powered ammo Obviously when the comparison is "which is better 8 shots of 9mm or 7 shots of 45!" then the 45 wins hands down. So most people aren't interested in a low capacity 9mm pistol. Remember, a safety is just a mechanical device, and can fail. don't worry much about the presence or absence of a safety. YOU are the safety. The gun won't fire if it gets dropped or bumped. Keep your finger off the trigger, that is the safety. Remember the 4 rules of gun safety 1. Consider all guns to be loaded, check them yourself carefully, and treat them with the utmost respect. 2. Keep your finger off the trigger until your sights are on target and you are ready to fire. 3. Always watch where the muzzle is pointing, do not let it point at another person, or anything you don't want to destroy. 4. Know your target and what is behind it.

→What is your opinion of the fobus holster for a glock 19?

2007-09-22 09:36:20

I am trying to find an inexpensive, easy on/off holster for my glock 19. I was looking at the fobus line (paddle) for their inexpensive price tag, but have not have much experience with them. I really like a smooth draw without the tightness and binding you can sometimes get with holsters. Any feedback on what kind of holster works best for some of you, would be great. Keep in mind, I am a thin person, and pancake type holsters have not worked out well for me because the holster curves too much and put friction on my draw. Also, I prefer an easy on off holster (like a paddle). I am also looking for an inside the waistband holster secure enough to hold a glock, and with the trigger protection glock users need. whew! sorry for the mouth full! but thanks for your advice!

Answered By: boker_magnum

When I'm not carrying my sidearms in a shoulder harness, I use the Blackhawk Serpa holsters, I have used Fobus in the past and I have no real problems with them, I simply prefer the Serpa. I also have a SafariLand thigh rig I use for cqb training, but mostly I just use either the Serpa, or my shoulder harness's.

→What is the best CCW Weapon? Kahr PM9 or Glock 19, 26, or 34?

2007-03-11 17:00:51

From what I have read, people state they like Glocks better because they are Glocks, which isn't really a valid reason. I have heard that KAHRs are pricey, but the difference doesn't seem to be an issue--for me. I realize the Glocks may have more magazine capacity; yet, the KAHRs are lighter and thinner. With this said, what is the best CCW Weapon, KAHR PM9 or Glock 19, 26 or 34? One would know that I am in the market for a 9 mm, but I would appreciate reasons for another caliber. Again, price is not an issue; CCW is.... I will appreciate any experienced advice and will ignore the Anti-NRA people and/or kids.

I have a kahr CW9, priced about the same as a glock, the kahr is shorter, slimmer and much easier to conceal and has a much smoother (although slightly heavier) trigger pull. However it has more recoil and barrel climb, which goes for anything that’s smaller and lighter. The kahrs handle is a little narrow and the trigger guard could be longer for my long fingers. Accuracy is on par with the glock, I can average a 3" group @ 9yrds and its dead on with a point and shoot draw w/out using sights. As for the PM9 I have heard both good and bad, apparently its had more problems than other kahr models, I personally would be worried about making quick follow up shots with the pm/km (also why I opted for the 9mm over the .40), the larger cw9 (same size as p9) is pretty snappy for 9mm, really likes to climb. I'm used to a sig pro in .40 and .357 sig and a p220 .45acp and find both easier to control for rapid shots, but for concealed carry the kahr is extremely comfortable and after a little practice completely controllable. As for mag cap. If this is a concealed carry gun and you end up using it, you shouldn’t need more than a couple of rounds to get the job done. for me the 9mm (+P+ JHP for carry) is a good round, I don’t believe that a larger caliber is a substitute for good shot placement and +P+ 9mm are pretty close to .40 s&w for stopping power and the Kahr is +P+ rated, I still haven’t seen a glock that was +P rated and .40s&w in glocks have had some issues (that would be the nice way of saying .40 glocks like to explode). If you’re looking for a gun to take to the range and put a few hundred rounds through on a regular basis and carry, the glock may be the better fit for you. If you’re looking for something very concealable but also accurate the kahr is the better weapon, IE the glock is a better all around gun, the kahr is designed for one purpose (concealed carry) and in that purpose far surpasses the glock. A good concealed carry gun for you is whatever you are more comfortable with, more accurate with, and trained the most with. went through a couple of local kahr dealers today, one has stopped carrying the pm40 because of customers complaints on controlablity, and the other doesnt carry any of the M line becasue of reliablity problems, the standerd size kahrs (p9,p40,k9,k40,cw9,cw40,p45) are still flawless. and if you end up with a kahr be aware of the 200 round break in period, mine was flawless unless I rode the slide (held the slide a little to long while racking). break in periods are common on highend pistols built to tight tolerences, my sigs were more like 500 rounds. glocks are built loose (not a bad thing in a 9mm) so no breakin period although it can compromise accuracy but not enough for the average shooter to notice.

→glock 19 for home defense?

2006-06-12 18:38:27

i was researching a gun for home defense and came upon a page talking about how glock pistols are so easy to use (automatic safeties). thats not all good if you think about it. what if the gun got into the wrong hands? it would be easy for your own gun to be pointed and shot at you with ease. (robber grabs it befor you) i've heard that some thieves who got hold of someones gun couldnt get a shot off because they didnt know how to work it (safeties, loading..) so it makes glock seem like a bad idea for home defense. can you suggest a better home defense gun to me? what caliber?

Answered By: Sam B

I am a retired police officer with over 20 years experience in the New Orleans area. In that time, I have never had a case where the presence of a weapon made any real difference in what took place at your "average" burglary. Meaning a random burglary where an armed homeowner was present in no way influenced the crimes outcome. Yes, I have had homeowners shooting at potential burglars but for the most part, burglars when confronted don't stick around. Of course, there are exceptions. My point is that for the average homeowner having weapons in the house is merely a "feel" good measure and does not offer any kind of deterrent to a burglar. Residences that are known to have weapons can ultimately become "targets" because the criminal is looking for those weapons. And believe me, burglars have ways of finding out if you have a cache of weapons. To answer your question, while it is true that Glocks are "good to go" and could be used against you by an attacker, the opposite is also true for other "more complicated" handguns. In stressful situation such as a home invasion, if you are not well trained on the weapon's use, you could very well forget to release the safety yourself and thus become a victim anyway. It is well documented that in some police shootings, the police officers were killed with their weapons in hand with the safeties still engaged. In fact some departments switched to Glocks for that very reason. If you are concerned about the Glock, you could always leave the first round out of the chamber which would then require you to pull the slide back before firing thus acting as a safety and giving you more time to react if the intruder takes you weapon away. I think that there are always variables beyond your control and to worry whether or not to keep a Glock or a Berretta (which can be complicated to operate) is a moot point. Someone else suggested a shotgun. It is the same scenerio. You would have to release the safety before you could "protect" yourself and I have seen countless times in shotgun training. Police officers jump out their units to engage a target and 50% of them will forget to release the safety. I have done it myself. It is a horrible feeling to pull the trigger and have nothing happen. Not to mention embarassing when theirs 20 other policer officers staring at you! My advise is to reconsider arming yourself, especially if you have a family. There is also a liability issue to consider should you harm someone other than the burglar. Rounds don't stop at you front lawn! If you must have a weapon take the responsibility to train and become proficient with it's use regardless of the make and model. If you choose the glock, leave the first round out of the chamber but keep the magazine loaded. As far as what caliber, if you goal is to shoot to kill, don't get anything smaller than a .40 cal. If you want to wound and maybe get lucky and kill em go for a 9mm. That's just my opinion!
