Question about replacing magazine quickly.

[phathom]

Is it just with newer glocks? Because my 2g 19 doesn't and my brother in law's 1g 17 doesn't. Maybe it got added in 3gs?

Normally it works on all gens of the glock, in my experience

I have had it happen on an M9 on several occasions and my Glock 21 more often but never enough to rely on it shooting for score and wouldn't even think about relying on it in a fight.

I've got a pair of S&W 4013s that were made back in 95 that don't do this. You can rule out age of the weapon I think.

Then again on my G-27 I never had that happen.

I took this theory when to the range yesterday with Glock 21sf, Glock 22, Glock 17, Glock 19 and Glock 22 lonewolf conversion barrel for glock 22. They all in third gen glocks and I tried to slam the mags in as hard as I can and still no luck to get the slide closed. I want to get the slide closed when I insert a fully mag... if anyone ever find out how to make it happen please let me know. TIA

It stands to reason that if the slide will close on an empty mag, that it won't hang open on an empty mag, and would have to be manually cycled/racked when you inserted a loaded mag.
Make sense?

My FNP 45 will release the slide if I insert a mag with more force than required.
I tried it after reading about others having it happen.
I see no reason to insert a mag that hard.
Wear and tear being my first concern, that and I am used to pulling the slide back to release.

It's covered on page 15 of the manual. <broken link removed>
Normal for most USPs. All of mine do it if you insert a magazine hard enough.
