    It's already been mentioned, but this is FSB failure, IME.

    Swapping in known-good FSB and extractor assemblies from Glock 37 and then taking it to the range.

    I can explain it to you. I can’t understand it for you.

    I've had the same intermittent & unpredictable experience with a couple Glocks in different calibers (a G23 and two G36s).

    It always "felt" to me like the gun might be every-so-slightly out-of-battery; not enough to prevent primer ignition, but just enough to make primer hits slightly off center. So far I haven't figured out the reason, as the slides have seemed to be fully forward.

    And while the sun and moon endure, Luck's a chance, but trouble's sure,
    I'd face it as a wise man would, And train for ill and not for good." -- A.E. Housman

    Anyway, FP safety and extractor assemblies swapped between 37 and 39. If the theories hold true, that means the demons are in the big gun now and the little gun should run like a champ.

    Off to the range.

    Well, having switched the FSB and extractor assemblies between the two guns, the 39 is still having light strikes and the 37 is still running like a top.

    The 39's problem has persisted through cleaning, degreasing, and replacing every single component except the frame, slide, barrel, slide lock, and slide lock spring.

    I'm stumped.

    Are you soliciting suggestions?
