Glock 26 Gen 3 Jamming Issue Ammo?

[clfergus]

Purchased a new Glock 26 Gen 3 awhile back and just now shot it for the first time. Went to point blank and bought some of their point blank branded 9mm reloads for 12.00 a box. Loaded up the mag and the 4 round or so jammed with the slide locked half open. The tip of the ammo when I cleared it was almost sheared off. Ran a second clip through and the same thing happened. Luckily I had half a box of Magtech in my bag so I ran that through and all 25 rounds ran flawless.

My LC9s had zero issues with the reloads. I checked the ramp and it appears to be free of any burs. It is super smooth.

I now need to take it back to the range after a good cleaning and run a few more hundred rounds through it. Anyone else ever have issues with point blanks house branded ammo? This is the first glock issue I have ever had in my entire time shooting glocks.

Probably the ammo if I had to guess. I'm sure they're bunny fart loads
#1 Don't shoot someone else's reloads. Even when loaded by some no name ammo remanufacture
#2 $12/box of reloaded 9mm is high
#3 Refer back to #1

I friend of mine bought some and had the same problem.

Lead bullets in the reloads?

I ran through a case of their reloads (Midwest I believe) without issue but they are loaded pretty light. Dual RSA guns seem a little more ammo sensitive than the gen 3s with the flat wire RSA. If you still have problems with it PM me. Maybe we meet at Point Blank and I would be happy to take a look at it for you.

This! You can buy new 9mm brass case ammo for close to that price most places. I would not ever shoot reloads in any of my guns.

Agreed about getting new affordable brass. My 26 has never failed to feed this stuff, well any new stuff really.

Different strokes...I hardly shoot anything except my reloads.
Most Glocks run the best on "Full House" loads. Some light/mid-range 9MM, that will run in my CZ's will hang up in my Glocks.

FWIW, I have seen a whole lot of the cheap REM-UMC 115gr. 9MM loads give problems in ALL pistols...Bill.

Buy factory fresh, and see if that works, a Glock warranty is voided when using any reloaded or remanufactured ammunition in one.

Thanks for all the input. I assumed that the Magtech would have jammed as well if their was an obvious flaw with the gun but I didn't have much of it on hand that day. I'll run a bunch of CCI or PMC through it when I get a chance. I am going to stear clear of that Point Blank Ammo though. I have never had a gun jam and slice the tip of the copper jacket lead tip off cleanly like that.

Glad I have a backup in my LC9s until I can find time to prove the G26 worthy.
