Glock 29 extraction problem

[Eagle Eye]

Well, Im pretty sure I wasn't limpwristing. I shot other 10mm ammo through the 29 and wasn't having that problem. I also shot the reloads through the G40 and wasnt having that problem. Wouldn't limpwristing be a problem that transfers to all guns? Or you think I could just be limpwristing the little 29 with the reloads?

I did a detail strip and saw nothing unusual.

I am leaning toward the idea of the spring since it was only doing this with the hot ammo.

When it does this, does the slide come back far enough to start to strip another round from the mag?

It did that once or twice but I am not sure it did every time.

Your ejector could be bent. Or the tip broke off. You should be able to compare it to your other 10mm to see any problems.

I've looked it over and compared to the other 10mm several times now, and can't identify anything out of the ordinary.

Me thinks another range test is necessary

If you were close I could put a fresh set of eyes on it.

It was the recoil spring.

It was the recoil spring.

I’m just curious; because I have a 29 too partly. Was it a stock spring? If so, was it just time to change or did it just fail? Please; elaborate a little more on what caused this and your fix etc.

I bought the gun used. I believe it had a stock spring. Old one looks identical to the one I replaced it with. Although I am not sure on exact round count, I put about 2000 rounds through it. I also do not know what the cause of the failure was, but i think a regular diet of 10mm wore the spring out. The same spring is used for the G30 and G36. Wonder if the springs last longer in the soft shooting 45's

I replaced it with a stock Glock guide rod and spring. I will probably start replacing guide rod and recoil spring between 2-3K rounds regardless of reliability issues since it is my CC.

I tend to agree. In fact, if I buy a used pistol I might have to count on, a new recoil spring is cheap insurance. Good call.

I believe glock says replace at 5k rounds but they are so cheap its cheap insurance.
