No. The issue happens when releasing the slide stop to chamber the first round not when firing. Well, occasionally it'll happen when firing but 99% of the time it happens with the first round. I'm just disappointed that Glock couldn't correct it, or didn't test it enough to reproduce the problem.
The gist of your question is that maybe it's me doing something wrong. I am not dismissing this outright however I've tried holding it limply, using the "slingshot" method of loading the first round, four different magazines and 5 different brands of hollow points. All this probably 300 hundred times now (loading the mag, inserting it, releasing the slide, repeat - concentrate on NOT pulling the trigger!). Another 50-60 times tonight. I'm an engineer and am familiar with statistics. While I haven't kept a written log, I'm pretty confident stating that it does not appear to be any better now than it was before I sent it in. I bought two brand new Glock OEM magazines. Same problem. I could try replacing the RSA but I hate the idea of randomly throwing money at it replacing parts. I'm already out $140 in ammo and mags.
Anyone know of any competent Glock smiths in the Memphis area that could take a crack at it? The only reason I got these was their supposed infallibility. All one ever reads about Glocks is that they'll eat any bullet you throw in it. These are self-defense tools, not range toys. I mean
come on, the Continental's Sommelier recommended them for heaven's sake (John Wick reference in case you didn't get it
). Now that that bubble is burst I'm kind of lost...
PS - I got the 43 long before John Wick 2 came out so I really am joking about that just so y'all know.
