You write " i remove any rounds that do not sit properly or have difficulty sitting in the chamber." This suggests that some rounds are not at the proper OAL. You can't just measure a factory round, or any other, and use that as your guide for the correct OAL. Each bullet nose profile is different, and therefore the OAL can be different. the action closing too fast therefore causing a failure to feed and the action opening too fast that the extractor, in lay mans terms, looses grip of the brass casing to extract it? What my question is, is it possible that a gun can jam when running too hot a load through it? i.e. what i have done is bring the powder down to 4.3gr and i will be shooting the rounds this weekend hopefully with no jams. I went back to my reloading data and found that i factored at 4.4 gr but i was actually putting in 4.7 gr due to increasing the length. This i figured out was because of too much pressure exiting the ports on the barrel causing the gun to move too much. the bought reloads grouped extremely well where as my reloads were all over the place.
I found this out by shooting my reloads vs bought reloads. This could be loading the rounds too hot? and causing the gun to cycle too fast. I have found a possible cause of the jams. I am reloading using s121 powder (fast burning) with a 124gr bullet.
I also make sure they are clean.ĥ) gun is always clean and lubricated correctly.Ħ) My OAL is correct for the gun and all rounds cycle smoothly. I know it is the first thing everyone asks when dealing with jams, dont ask me because i dont limp wrist.Ģ) My rounds do factor through a chrono for minor power factor.ģ) my brass is thoroughly checked cleaned and i plunk test all the rounds.Ĥ) according to every gun smith i have spoken to, my magazine springs, followers, base pads etc are all good. I have eliminated certain elements that could cause the jams and these are:ġ) I DON'T limp wrist. I am continually getting jams in the gun, specifically failure to feed (out of battery) and failure to extract. In shooting IPSC obviously it is considered an open class gun because of such ports. The barrel has 2 ports on the end (not strictly a compensator). The gun i am having trouble with is the BUL M5 Government 9mm. If I point out the Glock malfunctioning a couple months ago he's as likely to say, Oh, that was my fault, I was limp wristing.I have a somewhat complicated issue to explain and try fix. If I point out the Glock malfunctioning a couple months ago he's as likely to say, Oh, that was my fault, I was limp wristing. A couple months later he will be bragging how he's shot thousands of rounds through the gun and it's never malfunctioned once. I'll see a fellow having trouble with his Glock. I find that Glock owners sometimes have selective memories. She fired hundreds of rounds with not a problem. Recently a woman practicing for her CHL couldn't get through a magazine with her husband's G17. I used to recommend Glocks to shooters that for one reason or the other was not going to put in the effort to be much of a shooter.Įvery Glock/owner, except one recently, that has shot on my range has had problems. A good gun is made for the shooter, not the other way around.
LIMP WRIST GUN JAM HOW TO
When the first thing a Glock "expert" tried to tell her how to adapt her grip to shoot Glocks, She said, (She could outshoot everyone we ever shot with. My Wife was also a shooter since about 1960. I never heard of "limp wristing" until Glock came along. I've shot all manner of handguns since the late 1950's.įor many years I held the guns with a light, somewhat relaxed grip. I was not able to cause any problems (damn near dropped the gun though). I have tried to limp wrist my G27 by holding it and firing it with only three fingers. This integration of the impulse, can result in a longer duration impulse of significantly lower amplitude (while still having the same "area under the curve") that it may not overcome the spring constant of the recoil spring assembly. The movement of the arm/grip of the shooter is integrating the impulse of the pistol firing. This lighter the pistol (less mass), the more rigidity required from the shooter to ensure proper cycling of the slide. If both frame and slide move under recoil the same amount, the gun will not cycle. The more of the recoil that is absorbed by the movement of the frame (impulse not absorbed by the grip/arm) in addition to the slide movement, the less there is to move the slide sufficiently to allow proper cycling. The less mass in the frame, the more rigidity required in the shooter's grip/arm. To ensure the impulse of the slide moving during recoil (as designed), requires that the frame has some minimal amount of mass, or that the shooter has the ability to hold the weapon frame somewhat ridged against the recoiling mass of the slide.
