Back to back failures to feed in Glock 19

[Pariah Carey]

Today while shooting I had failures to feed on consecutive rounds in a gen 3 Glock 19. I was using a Magpul 17-round magazine and Magtech 124 g ball ammo.

When the first failure to feed happened I ran back the slide (I don't remember tapping the magazine), the live round ejected, then the next round also failed to feed. I ran the slide again, the round ejected, the weapon went back into battery, I reacquired the target, pulled the trigger and the next round fired. There were no malfunctions with the remainder of the rounds in the magazine.

I'm a pretty experienced shooter so I don't think I was limp wristing. I've probably had a few ftfs over the years but never can I recall two in a row. The likely suspect here has to be the magazine. It's a fairly new magazine, three months old with about 100 rounds through it. But I'm also wondering about the second ftf. Wondering if I could have short stroked the slide. Thoughts?

Did you also try a Factory/OE Glock Magazine?

fwiw: I'd swap out the mag for a factory Glock & run it again . . . sure it will run as intended

Use good mags....

I have plenty of those for everyday carry and home defense. I may be convicting Magpul without enough evidence, but I'd never use their Glock magazines for anything but practice. Even before this incident, something just felt a little off about them. They'll do, but they looked beat up right out of the package and are overpriced.

My Gen 3 G19 has run without faults with factory Mags.

Thanks for the feedback, I'll stick to OME.

As some of the above posters replied, stick with the original OE factory Glock G19 mags. IMHO, you will not find any aftermarket ones that are as good, period.

How many rounds through the gun? Did you continue shooting afterward? If so, how many more rounds?

Mark your magazines and keep track of failures. If it happens again with the same mag, throw it away. If it happens again with another magazine, start looking at the ammo, then the pistol.

The original magpul magazines for the glock17 had issues, but you should have gotten new magazine bodies mailed to you. Are you using the replacements ? I have shot several hundred rounds through my G19 and magpul g 17 mags without issues. However I only use them for training, not carry
