So it only jammed the one time or did two jam? Failure to eject and FTF or just FTE?
The gun only jammed one time.So it only jammed the one time or did two jam? Failure to eject and FTF or just FTE?
Thanks for sharing that. That might be exactly what happened to me. I'm certainly not blaming the G17 for anything.The first time I shot my G23 I had a jam.. I put about 200 rnds in that day. I think around 160ish I fet my grip get weak, I just got lazy. It had been a while since I had shot. It was a FTE. I removed the casing and never had a problem since. I don't think it was the gun for me. I was shooting Winchester white box 100 rnd pack. 180 gr.
Since then I put several hundred rounds through it with no problems.
I got to tell you, Boomer... I had a blast out there... I felt like Boomer, Jr...Awesome jb, glad to hear you got to go out and run some rounds through your 17. That vertical jam is commonly called a stove pipe and you might have just limp wristed it on that shot that jammed. Firing the fail to feed round is OK as long as it doesn't have any big dents in it and dont shoot it if the bullet is shitting crooked or jammed in the case in the case. Scratches wont hurt either. Also, just make sure its clean before you stick it back in. Sounds like you are doing good with it, grats on your new shooter.
Thanks for confirming that.You are right in your assumption of the failures, and the trigger felt like it was already pulled because the slide hadnt moved fully into battery not letting the trigger fully reset yet.
Yes, but I tried to keep them dry. I should have brought a cloth to wipe them on, but I ended up just using my pants. I liked the range, but I'll probably go earlier in the morning next time._jb, no problem man...
I was in Deston about a yr ago for some training and it can get pretty freakin hot especially with the humidty too. Did you your hands get sweaty?
LOL, glad you had a good time, I guess if I ever get down to Florida, I'll have to get in touch so we can go burn some powder together.I got to tell you, Boomer... I had a blast out there... I felt like Boomer, Jr...
I checked the cartridge out pretty closely before I put it back in and shot it. There were some marks/scratches on it, but there weren't any dents. It still looked perfectly round... so I shot it.
This would be my guess. That or cheap ammo. I know there are some QC problems with some of the cheaper range ammo right now due in part to the recent shortage and trying to catch up. Also, I know some of the companies are shorting ammo charges a little bit. couple tenths of a grain or so. Might not sound like they are making much doing that until you figure how many rounds they manufacture.ah you're first stove pipe .... limp wristing maybe?
Possibly...ah you're first stove pipe .... limp wristing maybe?
Well, I'm not sure... I think you should get a new G22 to see what you think... Hahaha...When your palms were sweaty, how did that Gen4 RTF3 texture work to keep the pistol planted in your hand?
Absolutely! If you ever come down this way, give me a holler for sure... We'll go out and do some shooting...LOL, glad you had a good time, I guess if I ever get down to Florida, I'll have to get in touch so we can go burn some powder together.

You got it there...practice and more practice. It will get better, by the way kudos on handling a problem SAFELY and figuring out what happened! Congrats on yer new toy..enjoy!I understand what you are saying.
It's like one of the first computer fraud cases... Programmer adapted a banks interest program to put all the calculated interest above three decimal places into a separate account. So, like .0003 of a cent would come from one account, .0002 from another, etc... They finally caught him because it was the only account in the bank that had withdrawls, but no deposites... interesting scheme though...
I think I might need to adjust the way I am shooting. I hold the gun straight, but when it fires it seems to rise a lot in my hands. I sort of let the gun go its own way. I don't put any pressure on the gun to make it stay on target. Should I do that? I notice that good shooters seem to be able to hold the gun still and not let it rise in their hands.
I know I need practice. I just don't want to develope any bad habits, if possible.
