Capt. Kangaroo. He wasn’t full of shit, either.

So I picked up my permit today. I applied Sept 7 of last year. In January the IT department at my job upgraded the phones to VOIP and my office number was changed at that time. My permit was ready last month on 2/23 (signed as issued on 2/19) and they called my old work number and I never got the message. No restrictions on the permit and no specific firearms listed on it either.

This may also be attributable to worn recoil springs - although not so much for the G26 with the lower round count. Regular 115gr rounds are fairly zippy (compared with heavier bullets). Slide speed is directly related to bullet speed. If your recoil spring is underpowered it will resist the slide less than a new one which will also increase the slide speed. The faster the slide speed, the less time there is for the fresh round to move to the feed lips of the magazine which means it may not be in the optimal position to chamber correctly. This only be happening on the last round in the mag is consistent with this theory as that is the round with least upward tension on it from the mag spring.

Throw it over the berm!

With the age and round count you mentioned, I'd certainly try new mags since they're so cheap. As others have said, Glock 10-rounders can be troublesome. Since all failures were the last round in the mag that points to weak springs. Good luck.

That nose-dive type malfunction is almost guaranteed to be a mag issue, in my experience. Glock OEM reduced capacity 10round mags are not known for reliability and the different follower can cause issues. Maybe try replacing the springs with Wolff +10% springs or try Magpul 10round G19 mags. Remember, the Glock relies on the mag spring as part of the extraction/ejection cycle. If the mag springs are weak, you can have a slow down in the ejection process which can lead to feeding issues. I’d also try shooting the 26 with standard OEM G26 mags (add a Pearce +0 Pinky shelf type mag floor-plate to get a full-size grip feel) and see what shakes.
