Hi all,
I have had a few Jams with my used g43.
Some issues with extractor, but after a detailed strip and clean those seem to be fixed.
Now the issue I have is a few HST rounds want to hang up on the feed ramp. This occurs live fire with factory mags with aftermarket baseplates. Next time I go out I will test with stock mag. Burning through lots of HST $$$! ( I need to test more tonight with stock mag and aftermarket mag letting the slide run home on its own. )
If I hand cycle the slide slowly, the ammunition pops out of the mag and is not retained by the extractor. The reason this concerns me, is that NONE of my full size glocks or HKs do this. The extractor grabs the case rim and controlls the round all the way in, even cycling the slide very slowly.
I understand this is not the correct mode of operation, but when 1/4 guns is different it concerns me. I called glock and the tech kind of snootily told me the gun wasn't designed to operate slowly (duh?)
Can someone please hand cycle their g43 with HSTs or ball ammo and tell me is the round pops out or is controlled by the extractor?

It is a great gun but once I bought the 365 it just sits now.Another range trip, 150 rds FMJ, 15 rds of HST. No jams.
Definitly had to learn how to hold/shoot this gun, but I am consistantly amazed at how accurate it is.
