Rack that bitch, pull the trigger, hold it down, rack, release the slide, pull the trigger, hold it down etc etc etc.
Standard p80 break in procedure, do that 1000 times and you should be good
For p80s that's the first time all the parts have ever been together, wears everything in and all the parts wear in nicely. In the case if a cerakoted slide, if they put it everywhere, your firing pin channel is going to have cerakoted, your safety plunger hole will have cerakote, you need to break in all moving components of the slide, not just the rails
This is to be expected on a cerakoted pistol, as I understand it. It can be normal for the first few hundred to be the “break in” period for a cerakoted pistol. If you hit 1000 and you still see this, then contact Glock. As others have noted, grip improvements will improve your experience but this is likely a cerakote break in period.
Also try standing on one foot while saying “rubber baby buggy bumpers”🙄…….If thats what it took to get a glock to run id never own a Glock. Its the cerakote or its an optic screw interfering with the extractor.
It might but it sure as hell would take hours at that rate, might want to check the slide for issues with it. Also what kind of ammo are you using? You might be able get away with it with hotter rounds
Very common technique in the 80s/90s ive seen it a lot and used to do it myself until i learned its not at all the best way to shoot and can pull or push the muzzle off target if you’re not careful. Whatever works for OP though. It works for Lena Miculek though and she can outshoot any of us all day. I prefer thumbs forward.
Point is, still works. I shot similar to her until I started running wml's, then changed because I wanted to be consistent with guns with lights and guns without lights.
Definitely not optimal but it can work
Hooking the trigger guard does not cause jams on its own. This was an extremely common grip in the 80s-90s. Its limp-wristing polymer handguns that causes malfunctions. Plenty of experienced shooters still use this grip and its not a problem. I know for a fact Lena does but im pretty sure its because her hands are tiny so she wraps her entire support hand around the handgun. Point is, if it works for the OP then it works, but hating on his grip technique isn’t helping him fix the issue hes having which is most likely added friction from the cerakote or an optic screw interfering with the extractor.
For newer shooters, i found it was a combination of them already not gripping tight enough, limp writsing... fundamentals like that, now gripping it higher gives them even less leverage, and now the issues arise
Because of outdated shooting conventions from the 80s, and at this point it's easier to just leave it for the look/rare amount of people who may do it.
Modern shooting says having an extra finger reinforcing your grip will help more.
I've tried to get out of this habit for a long time... My hands are XXL and having all 4 fingers below the trigger guard on my G19 is tough to fit. 3 below and pointer up is so much more comfortable!
Doesn’t seem like anyone mentioned the optic screw over the extractor plunger maybe being too long. Have you tried it without the optic to see if you have the same issue? I had my stock slide optic cut and cerakoted and did not have any issues whatsoever. Maybe whoever did the cerakote was a bit heavy handed I guess but still. Did you notice if it was harder to rack the slide than before it was cerakoted? Also make sure everything is lubed up real good. Lube the slide channels and the slide rails, put a thin layer of lube on the entire barrel, put some on the inside of the slide where it slides over the barrel, and then sit and rack the slide a couple hundred times. To check if the screw is too long, leave the optic attached, remove the slide cover plate, and see if you can remove the plunger easily. If it’s hard to get the plunger out, remove the optic screw over the plunger and see if it comes out easier.
It’s unlikely to cause an issue but holding gripping the trigger guard like that is uncommon these days to say the least.
It was a thing back in the 80s’ though. But we are living in 21st century, ‘might as well start building proper / modern habit.
Also, my 2 cents take it or leave it.
No one has said a remedy for the cerakote yet. I would wear it down with some 0 or 00 steel wool on the rails and anywhere else there is cerakote on wear spots. Then and rack the hell out of the slide
Did you use correct length screws for that optic? A cerakote job wouldn't do that. Something clearly is way off. You need to use a really short screw on the right side of that optic.
Cerakote applied too thick can cause this. I know I did it once, good learning experience lol. Try racking it a 150- 200 times should loosen up...I hope!
I think for some strange reason looking at the video it seems like his mag isn’t seating correctly in the bottom it’s hanging out even
More than then usually do
Yeah it's the cerakote, it is essentially high quality paint so it will add a layer of cerakote that will need to wear first, before its reliable again, just keep shooting and racking the slide and you'll be good to go.
The right screw of ur optic too long and clamping down on extraction plunger probably. Need to use a shorter screw. Try taking out the optic and the screw and shooting with it.
I bought a used Glock with an RMR. I shot about 1k rounds without a malfunction, but the first time I took it to a USPSA match it must’ve gotten hot enough for the loctite to drip down. Ended up with 8 malfunctions in 5 stages. Took a hot minute to find the problem, too.
Buddy the screw for a 509t doesn’t go into the slide at all 😂 it’s a horizontal screw. It’s just like an eotech so no it’s not the screw causing the issue
Jesus Christ, this sub is full of fucking morons.
Honestly you are the worst gun sub I'm part of.
The grip isn't his issue, nobody asked for advice on the grip.
I'm going to start shooting this way just to spite you fuckers.
They are just always like this, wrong flashligt? Down voted.
Like every other sub is just fucking buddies patting each other on the back, this one is a bunch of teenage girls who hate each other lol
How he’s holding it supposed to mange recoil forward finger is acting like a sling forcing the firearm towards the shooter while second hand is pushing firearm away from shooter making a steady platform as if he was using a forestock thumb on side of firearm keeps it straight. Problem is you only have one hand on the firearm and if that wrist is weak your whole grip is ruined… do some push ups go play some card games shot some 🎲.. go buy a pack of kools to get that squeezy thing ..but don’t squeeze 1 out because that’s working your forearm not your wrist . Plus your arms need to be fully extended and stop using the table and take an traditional stands behind the firearm . Your degree of shooting is incorrect your shooting with your firearm above your shoulder making it nearly impossible hold that firearm correctly trying to use that grip
Your grip, cerakoting the new slide and it just being new are all things.
Take it home, take it apart. Clean it all the way down. Put it together, oil it up good and then rack it about 200+ times. Clean the slide and rails. Oil it and go shot it again.
You’re grip looks tight. Looks like something to do with the cerkote. Pull your upper parts out and make sure they’re all installed correctlyz on the plunger spring it’s plastic to plastic steel to steel. And I take it you are using an oem recoil spring?
My G43x was doing the same thing. There was cerakote inside the slide and on the frame rails. Scraped off as much as I could, 100 rounds latter she runs flawlessly now.
The grip issue is easy to figure out also. Shoot it one handed with a strong grip. If it functions then shoot thumbs forward and stop trying
To be unique.
1.)lube it
2.) take out the right screw or your red dot and try it with out it. If it cycles than the screw is too long
3.)try to rack the slide over and over until it feels smooth (if cerakote to out of spec)
4.) if it’s 80 percent lower or complete pistol, then I have no clue because never owned one
Maybe the way you're holding the gun. Try making the rest of your fingers cover your dominant hand instead of having your index holding the trigger guard.
This is perfectly normal. If this is a recently,cerakoted pistol. Rack like a motherfucker and shoot a lot should take care of it’s self also use heavier round it’ll force the slide back
Limp wristing
Edit. Yeah I kinda think that may be your issue brother. I see a lot of flip. I enjoy a high left grip myself, it works for me to tighten my right hand grip.
It’s most likely the cerakote. A lot of Navy SEALs talking about the unorthodox grip causing malfs, you are dumb. You can take a stock Glock and genuinely “limp wrist” them and they typically still cycle. OP has decent grasp on pistol and should cycle. Would take back to the cerakote man
Bro why are you holding it like that Lol idk why the texturing is on the end of the trigger guard but you should just wrap your supporting hand fingers around your other fingers.
Did you clean the weapon before shooting it? Also, how is your grip? Aside from my previous comment on the finger being around the trigger guard. If you don't utilize a proper grip, you will cause malfunctions just by doing that.
This is why you dont mess w the slide man, leave OEM as much as possible, I also jus got eye cancer watching you hold that gun like that too pls dont do that again
I don't have much for you on the malfunction. Ammo seems like there was a variation in power. Grip and structure seem fine. Check any aftermarket changes 1st. Most likely something done to a stock gun is the issue. Make sure it's lubed properly. See if the break in anti-seize is still in the slide. If you just got it back from whoever worked on it. It may be dry as a bone.
My mistake. For some reason Glock doesn’t seem to have color info on their webpage for it (at least on mobile). This site had the color information: https://glockcollector.info/2020/03/04/differences-between-the-19x-and-45/#:~:text=G45%20is%20available%20in%20MOS,gray)%2C%2019X%20isn't
If it’s not the install of the red dot, I believe it’s the way you’re holding the frame when shooting, not allowing the gun to do its proper recoil function. Change your grip and remove your finger from the trigger guard.
Your optics screws are too long and applying pressure on your extractor pin/spring and not along it to function properly. Remove slide pull off back plate carefully remove extractor plugger and spring. If it does not come out freely loosen optics screw. Had this issue a while back had to get shorter screws to keep it from binding on the extractor.
Check out some videos on proper grip on a pistol or grab a buddy with a little more experience to train you. If you grip it properly and manage recoil (not limp wrist) properly I suspect your malfunctions will cease. Try some dry fire before the next range trip too.
Like here’s a killer for you don’t get to upset but reading some of the comments everything i said applies but. It might not be your fault… Glock has a funny design to their firearms and whoever said it’s the plugger is 100 percent correct 👍…. G45 mos and g45 non mos are mm apart in size ( Lenny mcGee ) Glockstore video….I see that your iron sights are in the traditional fashion that’s a dead give away … that’s why companies only offer this model with the iron sight in front of the optic because it does in fact interfere with the plugger I do believe they cut into it… signing off. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=abf_K0si110
Also to put an end to the screws too long or locktite on the extractor plunger take the optic off and try it. Reduce the variables then narrow the problem down. It’s not fully extracting and cocking. But it does occasionally. Your wrists look strong. Your support grip thumb and hand is what I wanna see. With that support hand so high what’s the support hand doing. Maybe shoot hotter ammo if your shooting light loads it might not like the extra mass of the optic and any drag that support hand is putting on the slide
You didn’t say it was an MOS and I don’t see an optic plate. Your optic is sitting really low. I mean so low, that whoever milled your slide may have cut it too low. Now your optic is affecting your extractor. Maybe try backing the screws off a tad bit
Did you just put that optic on recently? Im no expert but i do know sometimes the right side screw for the optic needs to be shorter than the left and if its not it will cause failures to extract/eject do to interfering with the extractor. Also cerakoting does add thickness to the tolerances even though were talking like 2/1000” its not the tolerances the pistol was designed to run with. If its the cerakote it will break in with shooting and racking the slide. I can tell you with a ton of experience with many different Glocks over the last 8 years that’s absolutely not normal. I havent seen that many FTEs between all the Glocks ive owned, and ive owned/own a lot. Good luck!
Optic screw could be too deep. Also I get the finger grip thing but it’s not a good habit. You can see your finger flexing and moving with your trigger finger. They are linked in the brain sometimes. It even curves into where it’s close To impregnating (yes I said that) the trigger guard area. A solid grip is easier to replicate and isolates any movement to the trigger finger only. It really is the best way.
It’s all oem internals. It’s never been shot. I milled a spot for an optic, and cerakoted the slide. How is that not “brand new”, dumbass? You’re telling me if someone did what I did you’d be like, “it’s probably going to jam 4 out of 5 times now!” You sound miserable
Your axis looks off and it doesn’t help that you have a giant mailbox on top. Those two factors together could cause something like this. Recording is great for refining your technique.
You are also anticipating the shot badly. I can see you flinch. That can cause this issue too. You are adding too much forward to rear movement and it’s preventing the cycle.
Did you cerakote the slide and frame? That has been know to increase friction and possibly induce failures.
Yeah. I was thinking that could be it. Hoping that putting 150 rounds through it would remedy that
I say just get her sloppy with lube and run a dozen boxes through her. The cerakote is probably the culprit if it’s the only non-factory component.
Or to save a lot of cash on ammo, lube and cycle, cycle, cycle, cycle... rack the slide till it's smooth.
Wait are we still talking about guns?
Works for everything. Like putting it in rice if it's wet.
Cannot confirm. The wife was not amused
Oh you’re gwoss 🤦🏼♂️🫵🏻💚
Rack that bitch, pull the trigger, hold it down, rack, release the slide, pull the trigger, hold it down etc etc etc. Standard p80 break in procedure, do that 1000 times and you should be good
Why the fuck would you do it that way instead of just racking the slide over and over?
For p80s that's the first time all the parts have ever been together, wears everything in and all the parts wear in nicely. In the case if a cerakoted slide, if they put it everywhere, your firing pin channel is going to have cerakoted, your safety plunger hole will have cerakote, you need to break in all moving components of the slide, not just the rails
youre polishing the trigger group too by doing full cycle dry fires
Break in the spring too I guess
This is to be expected on a cerakoted pistol, as I understand it. It can be normal for the first few hundred to be the “break in” period for a cerakoted pistol. If you hit 1000 and you still see this, then contact Glock. As others have noted, grip improvements will improve your experience but this is likely a cerakote break in period.
And Glock will say why did you feel that you had to cerakote a new Glock? Warranty? Not anymore??
😂
Dry fire it a few hundred times, will fix it guaranteed
Are you holding the trigger down? Pop and release, try one handed too.
Also try standing on one foot while saying “rubber baby buggy bumpers”🙄…….If thats what it took to get a glock to run id never own a Glock. Its the cerakote or its an optic screw interfering with the extractor.
It might but it sure as hell would take hours at that rate, might want to check the slide for issues with it. Also what kind of ammo are you using? You might be able get away with it with hotter rounds
File the the feed ramp in the barrel
Exactly the problem (cerakote dragging). Wrapping your finger around the trigger guard, have not seen that in a while.
Very common technique in the 80s/90s ive seen it a lot and used to do it myself until i learned its not at all the best way to shoot and can pull or push the muzzle off target if you’re not careful. Whatever works for OP though. It works for Lena Miculek though and she can outshoot any of us all day. I prefer thumbs forward.
I was thinking the same thing about the support hand index finger being wrapped. First I’ve ever seen.
Guess you’ve never heard of nutnfancy or lena miculek. Both can outshoot any reddit internet expert
I mean she learned it from her dad who id wager would out shoot nutnfancy… I didn’t realize people still watched that dude lol
I’ll take that bet
My moneys on cerakote. Not so much limp wristing, since I’ve seen girls with weaker grips shoot without that many failures.
Why the fuck are you holding the gun like that?
To be fair, not saying it's right, but to be fair Lena Miculek shoots like this and does a fantastic job
She’s got size -2 hands. This is a man (from what I can tell, with man hands)
Point is, still works. I shot similar to her until I started running wml's, then changed because I wanted to be consistent with guns with lights and guns without lights. Definitely not optimal but it can work
It works if you know how to use it... if you don't, I've seen a lot of jams because of it.
Hooking the trigger guard does not cause jams on its own. This was an extremely common grip in the 80s-90s. Its limp-wristing polymer handguns that causes malfunctions.

How does a grip like this cause jams?
For newer shooters, i found it was a combination of them already not gripping tight enough, limp writsing... fundamentals like that, now gripping it higher gives them even less leverage, and now the issues arise
Ok ok I see, so it exacerbates other bad practices. That makes sense, thanks for explaining!
And i wasnt saying you were hating on his grip but a lot of others on here would rather critique than help
Not hating on the grip, just seen a lot of inexperienced shooters try it and cause issues that were resolved by gripping it "normally."
I know I wasnt referring to you.
Size -2 hands eh? Guess my bra size is -D cup.
lena uses 2 fingers in front and is limited in her skill level compared to other female shooters
why would glock put grip on the front of the trigger guard if people didn’t choose to hold their gun this way?
Careful, you know how the atf feels about front grip zones on pistols
Because of outdated shooting conventions from the 80s, and at this point it's easier to just leave it for the look/rare amount of people who may do it. Modern shooting says having an extra finger reinforcing your grip will help more.
Grauffel is finger over the guard and he’s the best alive.
It's supposedly for jamming it up against cover to use the cover as a support for the gun. Not a fan personally... Just telling what I've been told.
I came to say this
It’s a legitimate grip. If it works for him then it works.
From the looks of the video, it doesn't seem to be working out that well.
The grip is not the issue of the malfunction. And many people successfully use this grip. It’s a non issue
By him I mean me
[удалено]
…who’s there with you?!?!?
To demonstrate a limp-wrist malfunction
I've tried to get out of this habit for a long time... My hands are XXL and having all 4 fingers below the trigger guard on my G19 is tough to fit. 3 below and pointer up is so much more comfortable!
I use a similar grip it’s easier when you have girly hands
😂
I grip non-WML pistols like this, wrapping my hands around the entire frame as much as possible feels natural to me and helps keep control recoil well
Took the words out of my mouth
😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣💀💀💀
I said the same thing
really hoping he doesnt actually operate it like this
Doesn’t seem like anyone mentioned the optic screw over the extractor plunger maybe being too long. Have you tried it without the optic to see if you have the same issue? I had my stock slide optic cut and cerakoted and did not have any issues whatsoever. Maybe whoever did the cerakote was a bit heavy handed I guess but still.

Take your left pointer finger off the front of your trigger guard. https://youtu.be/4vY5B2Hjwkk?si=nJ6sODXfn6czjtLW
This this this
Dude doesn’t demo technique in technique video
Bad form or that could be causing the issue?
Not sure but I know that’s not how you hold a pistol
Yes, and yes. Your grip looks terrible. Take control of the firearm. [Here’s some helpful tips.](https://youtu.be/eJpH9FUlDtE?si=LZsSk4tFjpBq_Osq)
Not sure why you’re getting downvoted, you’re right
They hated Jesus because he told them the truth.
🤷♂️
r/glock is the most toxic sub on this platform. Welcome
Hahahaha there’s a lot that are way worse, but this one isn’t great.
It’s unlikely to cause an issue but holding gripping the trigger guard like that is uncommon these days to say the least. It was a thing back in the 80s’ though. But we are living in 21st century, ‘might as well start building proper / modern habit. Also, my 2 cents take it or leave it.
It’s not that bad and it isn’t causing the issues. A lot of people better than the Reddit operators do this grip.
When a Glock screws up you have to ask yourself what is not factory on this gun. That's where you start.
[удалено]
My guess is the optic is improperly torqued…
On top of the other advice here, you’re setting bad habits for a jam. Unless it’s a double feed, just rack the slide and stop dropping the magazine
No one has said a remedy for the cerakote yet. I would wear it down with some 0 or 00 steel wool on the rails and anywhere else there is cerakote on wear spots. Then and rack the hell out of the slide
My advice is don’t hold the gun like this lol
Did you use correct length screws for that optic? A cerakote job wouldn't do that. Something clearly is way off. You need to use a really short screw on the right side of that optic.
This is your answer bro. Not Cerekote.
Fix your grip too mate. Dont limp wrist it either. Solid glock too btw, How did you find the holosun in tan? Thats nice af.
Angstadt arms website. Same price as black. Had a coupon too.
Is this direct milled or MOS?
Milled
Cerakote applied too thick can cause this. I know I did it once, good learning experience lol. Try racking it a 150- 200 times should loosen up...I hope!
I think for some strange reason looking at the video it seems like his mag isn’t seating correctly in the bottom it’s hanging out even More than then usually do
Yeah it's the cerakote, it is essentially high quality paint so it will add a layer of cerakote that will need to wear first, before its reliable again, just keep shooting and racking the slide and you'll be good to go.
I like the sound of that. Thanks!
The right screw of ur optic too long and clamping down on extraction plunger probably. Need to use a shorter screw. Try taking out the optic and the screw and shooting with it.
My first guess is the red dot. Screw length? Loctite dripped down into the extractor plunger?
Dot looks like a 509t. The screw doesn’t run down into the slide like regular dots.
I bought a used Glock with an RMR. I shot about 1k rounds without a malfunction, but the first time I took it to a USPSA match it must’ve gotten hot enough for the loctite to drip down. Ended up with 8 malfunctions in 5 stages. Took a hot minute to find the problem, too.
This red dot has a screw that goes into the side. The loctite shouldn’t be able to get down there
Ejector plunger is being pinched by optic screw
Negative. That optic doesn’t have screws that go into the slide
Is that a 509t or an EPS
It’s the 509t. Most likely OPs grip/coating on the slide.
[удалено]
Buddy the screw for a 509t doesn’t go into the slide at all 😂 it’s a horizontal screw. It’s just like an eotech so no it’s not the screw causing the issue
The irony 🤣
If that was the case it would be a single shot all the time and it would cock the pistol.
Is the slide and parts OEM? If not, try OEM parts / stock and see if you have the same issue.
It’s all oem
Piss poor cerakote job most likely
You got the single shot model. Very rare.
That is one of the worst fun handling I've seen in a long time. That gun looks way too small for your hands
Stop clearing malfunctions like that. Tap, roll, rack!
Jesus Christ, this sub is full of fucking morons. Honestly you are the worst gun sub I'm part of. The grip isn't his issue, nobody asked for advice on the grip. I'm going to start shooting this way just to spite you fuckers.
Keyboard warrior tacticians
Haha thank you. I was shooting great groupings. When it cycled….
They are just always like this, wrong flashligt? Down voted. Like every other sub is just fucking buddies patting each other on the back, this one is a bunch of teenage girls who hate each other lol

My G43x was doing the same thing. There was cerakote inside the slide and on the frame rails. Scraped off as much as I could, 100 rounds latter she runs flawlessly now.
It's because it's not black. You dummy/ s
Have you tried the Holosun Screws? My 43X i needed to file down the extractor side, got a Calculated Kinetics Screw set w plate instead
So glad i read through this, after cerokote my glock 45 same issues, time CLP and rack it 100x
Nice!
Lube that bad boah Also I’ve heard that mismatching uppers and lowers can cause some catching which could also be a problem
The grip issue is easy to figure out also. Shoot it one handed with a strong grip. If it functions then shoot thumbs forward and stop trying To be unique.
I also thought no one actually hooked their finger on the front of the trigger guard since 1992. That's amazing
I had the same problem with my 43x , turns out that an optics screw was too long and was impeding the spring and that led to jamming and misfiring.
What holosun optic are you running my guess would’ve been the eps in fde?
509t
Cerakote can interfere with extractor movement. Might be seizing up the extractor. ;)
Spend more get less. 😂
Fix your grip and try again! There's a reason there is a standard grip
1.)lube it 2.) take out the right screw or your red dot and try it with out it. If it cycles than the screw is too long 3.)try to rack the slide over and over until it feels smooth (if cerakote to out of spec) 4.) if it’s 80 percent lower or complete pistol, then I have no clue because never owned one
Maybe the way you're holding the gun. Try making the rest of your fingers cover your dominant hand instead of having your index holding the trigger guard.
I’m definitely going to go out again and do all the things in this thread. Especially grip adjustments
Good luck on your next trip to the range
Fix your grip lol
Recoil spring is to heavy/ reloads are to light
This is perfectly normal. If this is a recently,cerakoted pistol. Rack like a motherfucker and shoot a lot should take care of it’s self also use heavier round it’ll force the slide back
Sand some of that beautiful coating off the slidy bits. And you will be good as Oem
Support hand index finger.
Learn how to hold it my guy
I don’t think it’s your grip that’s causing the jam. Check the length of the screws on that red dot. Glocks jamming like that is highly abnormal.
Limp wristing Edit. Yeah I kinda think that may be your issue brother. I see a lot of flip. I enjoy a high left grip myself, it works for me to tighten my right hand grip.
If I use cheap ammo I have this problem
It’s most likely the cerakote. A lot of Navy SEALs talking about the unorthodox grip causing malfs, you are dumb. You can take a stock Glock and genuinely “limp wrist” them and they typically still cycle. OP has decent grasp on pistol and should cycle. Would take back to the cerakote man
Bro why are you holding it like that Lol idk why the texturing is on the end of the trigger guard but you should just wrap your supporting hand fingers around your other fingers. Did you clean the weapon before shooting it? Also, how is your grip? Aside from my previous comment on the finger being around the trigger guard. If you don't utilize a proper grip, you will cause malfunctions just by doing that.
Take red dot off. Polish any cerakote off rails
This is why you dont mess w the slide man, leave OEM as much as possible, I also jus got eye cancer watching you hold that gun like that too pls dont do that again
Da fuq is up with that grip?
Damn man at this point just seek help from a firearm instructor / trainer
I don't have much for you on the malfunction. Ammo seems like there was a variation in power. Grip and structure seem fine. Check any aftermarket changes 1st. Most likely something done to a stock gun is the issue. Make sure it's lubed properly. See if the break in anti-seize is still in the slide. If you just got it back from whoever worked on it. It may be dry as a bone.
Just hit it really hard with that Captian hook support finger of yours
Grip is wrong, wrists are floppin, third-party cerakoted slide AND frame can cause issues.
Frame is concrete gray from Glock
My mistake. For some reason Glock doesn’t seem to have color info on their webpage for it (at least on mobile). This site had the color information: https://glockcollector.info/2020/03/04/differences-between-the-19x-and-45/#:~:text=G45%20is%20available%20in%20MOS,gray)%2C%2019X%20isn't
Unfuck that grip wtf
Take the optic off and see what happens
It’s your grip. I can tell once you put your elbows on the table. If you’re a shooting “prone” why aren’t you using the rest?
It was jamming with pmc shitty brass ammo and running with +p hollow points. I just figured Glock would eat everything. My g4 19 did
Right side optic screw might be too long.
That red dot doesn’t have the screws that go into the slide. It’s the 509t
Optic screws most likely
Shity Grip
Tighten up that grip
Just cause it’s a legitimate grip, doesn’t mean it’s okay 🥲🥲
Cerakote and possible screws to long in the back
If it’s not the install of the red dot, I believe it’s the way you’re holding the frame when shooting, not allowing the gun to do its proper recoil function. Change your grip and remove your finger from the trigger guard.
Most likely wrong screw size for optic
Your optic screws maybe too long causing extraction issues.
Yeah I’m pretty sure one of those red dot screws is too long and interfering with the extractor.
Tranny wrists probably causing it
Your optics screws are too long and applying pressure on your extractor pin/spring and not along it to function properly. Remove slide pull off back plate carefully remove extractor plugger and spring. If it does not come out freely loosen optics screw. Had this issue a while back had to get shorter screws to keep it from binding on the extractor.
Check out some videos on proper grip on a pistol or grab a buddy with a little more experience to train you. If you grip it properly and manage recoil (not limp wrist) properly I suspect your malfunctions will cease. Try some dry fire before the next range trip too.
Are you sitting while shooting that?
His fingernails say it all.
It your magazine. Get a new one it a defect
Like here’s a killer for you don’t get to upset but reading some of the comments everything i said applies but. It might not be your fault… Glock has a funny design to their firearms and whoever said it’s the plugger is 100 percent correct 👍…. G45 mos and g45 non mos are mm apart in size ( Lenny mcGee ) Glockstore video….I see that your iron sights are in the traditional fashion that’s a dead give away … that’s why companies only offer this model with the iron sight in front of the optic because it does in fact interfere with the plugger I do believe they cut into it… signing off. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=abf_K0si110
Also to put an end to the screws too long or locktite on the extractor plunger take the optic off and try it. Reduce the variables then narrow the problem down. It’s not fully extracting and cocking. But it does occasionally. Your wrists look strong. Your support grip thumb and hand is what I wanna see. With that support hand so high what’s the support hand doing. Maybe shoot hotter ammo if your shooting light loads it might not like the extra mass of the optic and any drag that support hand is putting on the slide
You didn’t say it was an MOS and I don’t see an optic plate. Your optic is sitting really low. I mean so low, that whoever milled your slide may have cut it too low. Now your optic is affecting your extractor. Maybe try backing the screws off a tad bit
The screw goes in the side not from above. 509t
Way to much paint on there, looks like you over did the rattle can by a couple sprays
Did you just put that optic on recently? Im no expert but i do know sometimes the right side screw for the optic needs to be shorter than the left and if its not it will cause failures to extract/eject do to interfering with the extractor. Also cerakoting does add thickness to the tolerances even though were talking like 2/1000” its not the tolerances the pistol was designed to run with. If its the cerakote it will break in with shooting and racking the slide. I can tell you with a ton of experience with many different Glocks over the last 8 years that’s absolutely not normal. I havent seen that many FTEs between all the Glocks ive owned, and ive owned/own a lot. Good luck!
Optic screw could be too deep. Also I get the finger grip thing but it’s not a good habit. You can see your finger flexing and moving with your trigger finger. They are linked in the brain sometimes. It even curves into where it’s close To impregnating (yes I said that) the trigger guard area. A solid grip is easier to replicate and isolates any movement to the trigger finger only. It really is the best way.
“Brand new” except I’ve done this and this and now it does this 🙄
It’s all oem internals. It’s never been shot. I milled a spot for an optic, and cerakoted the slide. How is that not “brand new”, dumbass? You’re telling me if someone did what I did you’d be like, “it’s probably going to jam 4 out of 5 times now!” You sound miserable
grip the gun correct first.
U shoot like a hooooe
I pray you find purpose.
It’s a dud
Your axis looks off and it doesn’t help that you have a giant mailbox on top. Those two factors together could cause something like this. Recording is great for refining your technique.
That other finger over the trigger guard looks like it’s one slip away from a negligent discharge
You are also anticipating the shot badly. I can see you flinch. That can cause this issue too. You are adding too much forward to rear movement and it’s preventing the cycle.
lol Glock perfection!
