Prevelant in Glock 22's. My research and discussion lead me to believe this really was a disconnector problem on top of an unsupported chamber. However, some math wiz told me the odds of it hapening are better for winning the lottery. Bottom line it has happened, particulerly in that model.

The following safety advisory was received on 05/17/03 from NLETS (National Law Enforcement Telecommunication System). It's editted.

 

Warren Co. Sheriff's Office(TN) reports that on 05/16, while training at the range, 3 deputies were injured when 3 separate G22s exploded in their hands. Ammunition used at the time was Federal Classic 155gr. HI-Shok JHP (Lot #2-42W262 or 2-42N262). 1 deputy was taken to the hospital for minor injuries.

40 S&W is a very high pressure round. It needs full barrel support much more than 9mm and 45ACP. Older Glocks had far less support on their barrels (i.e. the feed ramp was so shallow that the six o'clock position under the case had no metal around it) and they started fixing them on the sly. Their PR department is so obsessed with "Glock Perfection" that the company does not let the public know when small changes like this are implemented. I believe it was fixed somewhere in the Gen 2 guns.

The use of lead bullets with Glock barrels is a separate, but also Kaboom creating issue. Soft lead accumulates in the sharp polygonal rifling. Over time this constricts the diameter of the bore and raises pressures when the round ism fired. If the pressure gets high enough, Kaboom. There are plenty of people who shoot lead bullets in their Glocks. Just keep the damn thing clean. I don't because I don't like handling lead, but mostly because I bought a Glock so I don't have to clean it.

BTW, I am not a Glock hater. I own a 34 and a 20, and have owned other and probably will own more.

No. Its an actual issue with Glock 22's. The disconecter can allow an out of battery firing. If this has been solved or not in recent years I do not know. I dont own glocks.

 

Shane- I really have to think about this disconnector issue. I have to run out now but I really have to think on it...

 

Any reference you have will be appreciated. Initially it just doesn't sit right with me. Lunker's unsupported chamber theory I've heard before and may have some credence based on possible thin walled cases at the web.

 

Just remember all Mauser actions I've seen have chambers that are unsupported at the web of the case.

      The Tax Man Commeth

      We never let then inside.  Last re-evaluation was 6-7 years ago, wife politely told him that he was welcome to look around the property and he could look in the windows. He saw two white resin chairs in the basement and told her that this constituted a finished basement. And everything in the basement is bare concrete/ cinder block, and mechanical systems. Nothing finished about it. Ultimately he relented and I'm sure that was a ploy to coerce us to allow him in

      I use an Alien Gear cloak tuck (IWB) with my Shield.  Neoprene back - in the summer it does feel warm but doesn't rub or chafe.   https://aliengearholsters.com/ruger-lcp-iwb-holster.html Could also go with the shapeshift as it has multiple options - OWB/IWB, Appendix... https://aliengearholsters.com/ruger-lcp-shapeshift-modular-holster-system.html

      The  12-1 compression ratio L88 is long gone. This is GM's updated version. it might be  pump gas 10-1 engine The L88 was a aluminum head  cast iron block engine with a nasty solid lifter cam. the  ZL1 was a all aluminum  12 or 13-1 compression ratio engine with the best forged internal parts at the time and had a even nastier solid lifter cam

      Softer Holster

      By maintenanceguy · Posted

      I like my regular carry holster.  OWB leather with belt slots.  I've been carrying for over a year and it was comfortable and I hardly even noticed it.  I carry (usually) a Ruger LCP .380 - light, convenient, tiny. But...today I ended up taking it off an leaving it home after a few hours. I cut down a big maple tree a few days ago and I spent 3/4 of today loading and unloading firewood into the back of my truck and a trailer.  It was a warm day, I was dirty, tired, sweaty, and my holster was rubbing against my side.  The leather and exposed metal snap was no longer comfortable. I'm thinking about adding a layer of something to that part of the holster to soften the contact.  Anything insulating will make it worse.  I don't want a sweaty, hotter holster against my skin.  I'm imagining something thin, breathable, that won't absorb sweat, and softer than leather, metal snaps, and rivets.   But I have no idea what would work. I'm hoping somebody else has already figured this out and I can just do what they did. Any suggestions appreciated.

      Light primer strikes

      By Mr.Stu · Posted

      Check the primers on the ammo you didn't shoot yet. Are they fully seated? If the primer is not just below flush with the back of the case, the first hit can seat it better then the second hit ignites it.
