I have a Glock RTF model 22. It's had a TLR1 light on it since purchase and has about 3 thousand or so rounds through it. Within the last 500 or so rounds it started failing to feed. The slide just stops on the round and doesn't force it in the barrel. I first noticed it when off hand shooting and thought that maybe I was just lip wristing the weapon. It stopped when I locked my arm out even stiffer than before. But then it started doing it when I was strong hand shooting. Now its about every 3rd round on average. I'm a firearms instructor for my department and I had another firearms instructor shoot it. He had the same problem. We took the light off and it seems to function fine.
We are going to contact Glock, but I was under the impression that any problems concerning the light were fixed with the Gen 3 Glocks. A couple of other shooters in our department had some fail to feeds and we just assumed they were limp wristing. Now I don't know. I think my gun has the most rounds through it of any of our departments Glocks so far and I'm wondering if this is a problem that just takes time to develop.
Any thoughts or ideas Glock people?
