CCI Blazer Brass - Misfeed?

[Glock Jock]

I shot my Glock 23 this weekend that had about 500 rounds through it and got 3 misfeeds (round didn't make it up into the chamber and got stuck) in about 100 rounds of Blazer Brass I got from Bi-Mart. Just wondering if anybody has had this problem? Never jammed up until yesterday. And I was using brand new and almost new magazines.

I would chalk it up to ammo.

How many magazines did u use? Did it jam on 1 particular mag or was it spread thru the all ur mags?

 

[Fast Eddie]

Was it fmj? Aluminum or brass?

I'm a Glock aficionado but I've never fired a G23. I understood them to be pretty snappy beasts, so it's surprising that they could hang up at all. But then, I never had anything good to say about CCI Blazer. It's the only ammo I've ever bought that was defective on arrival - just plain messed up right outta the box. So I'd recommend blowing through a couple boxes of Magtech before deciding that it's the gun's fault.

This is CCI Blazer aluminum, but it's from the same factory as their brass-cased junk:

The jerkwad answering the phones at CCI didn't help their case, either. (Hi, Coy!)

I've shot a lot of the Blazer Brass in 9mm with no issues.

I'd try some other ammo and see if that fixes the issue.

 

[Glock Jock]

thanks. i used 2 mags that were brand new and slightly used, don't know if it was one or the other? and it was FMJ Brass. I am going to say weak loads at this point because i have never seen this before and i have never used this ammo before. will update if anything changes (or stays the same).

Brass Blazer .45 is the only brand that jams in both the weapons I own that shoot it.

I shot many blazer brass 9mm, never had any problem.

 

[Glock Jock]

sounds like the 9mm stuff shoots well and not so much for larger calibers.

It might be brass but its still cci junk!

 

[Screwy]

Bet you can trace it to 1 mag. A friend had a nib g4 40ca with a new defective mag misfeeding and Glock replaced it.

+1 I've used Blazer Brass without issue....definitely try another brand and see what happens.

Odd, I have never had any issue with Blazer, aluminum or brass and it was so reasonably priced back in the day. I would be testing the devil out of the mags. I have also had a bad, brand new, factory magazine.

based on what?

I would not hesitate to stock up Blazer Brass and CCI mini-mag ammo for emergency use or whatever.

I like CCI in everything.
I have gone through about 15 or 20 thousand of their primers and never had a misfire from any of them.
I would put money on it that it was a magazine issue,

What were you expecting him to do? Are you a jerkwad? Why call the person answering the phone one? The only factory round I ever got that look similar to the picture you posted was a Remington 6mm Remington round back in the 60's. Manufacturing glitches are not limited to CCI.

It looks like it was the Blazer Brass. I went shooting and took only the 2 suspect magazines and had zero misfeeds.
