98.SiG and Rising |
Be sure to check the Striker Channel for oil/residue. My G43X MOS was pretty oily. ************************* Warning...SiGs are addictive, keep out of the reach of adults! Blue Lives Matter: Thank a Police Officer for their Service! | |||

I've had one occasion to send a pistol back to Glock; it was a G33, and only went back because of a "recall," that glock didn't call a recall. There had a been a few isolated reports of rail failure on one of the rear sides, on the G33, and as a precaution, Glock was replacing the frame. They quoted six weeks, I think. As I recall, it came back in three. That's with a replacement frame from Europe, with a specific serial number. | |||

What is wrong with using reloads? When my Glock 26 was brand new I found my old standby reload that worked in all my other 9’s including other glocks was too weak to run the 26.( reload was with about a middle of the road powder charge). I loaded up a couple hundred rounds at 2/10ths of a grain below max they ran fine, and after that the gun ran fine with my usual lighter load. And for the record these were reloads in the factory barrel with run of the mill commercial cast lead bullets. If you own a bore brush and can swab a bore every 200 rounds or so cast lead reloads will be fine. | |||

Lead through the Glock barrels is largely a myth. It runs fine. Hard cast is better. A problem for some may be running too light a load, when bullets don't properly fill the barrel and blowby causes leading. I use cast coated bullets and can fire thousands without deposits in the barrel. I shoot a lot of blue bullets, no deposit issues at all. I run them .001 oversize, usually reduced loads to 130-135 power factor in 9X19. Never an issue. They'll run through the G48 as easily as any. | |||

It's a carry gun. If it works with your carry ammo every time, drive on. It does it's job. Use something else on the range with the crappy ammo. And yes, I would lock the slide back for a week, lube it up, and run some more ammo through it, too. Bruce "The designer of the gun had clearly not been instructed to beat about the bush. 'Make it evil,' he'd been told. 'Make it totally clear that this gun has a right end and a wrong end. Make it totally clear to anyone standing at the wrong end that things are going badly for them. If that means sticking all sort of spikes and prongs and blackened bits all over it then so be it. This is not a gun for hanging over the fireplace or sticking in the umbrella stand, it is a gun for going out and making people miserable with." -Douglas Adams “It is just as difficult and dangerous to try to free a people that wants to remain servile as it is to try to enslave a people that wants to remain free." -Niccolo Machiavelli The trouble with fighting for human freedom is that one spends most of one's time defending scoundrels. For it is against scoundrels that oppressive laws are first aimed, and oppression must be stopped at the beginning if it is to be stopped at all. -Mencken | |||

I’d leave the slide locked back for a day or two then run the action a bit then reassess. | |||
