Question about glock 22

[sergeant_11]

Does anyone know how much ware is "normal" for the firing pin safety in the Glock model 22 ? And is there anyone who has ever had the 22 do a partial feed whenthey attempted to do a tactical load of the magazine(slapping the magazine in with force enough to send the home in a firing position). I had an officer on my department who thought he had a safe weapon, magazine in hand "empty" chamber.
He sent the slide forward while holding the trigger(SMART) and had an accidental discharge.

Can't answer your first question, maybe Glockarmorer can. As to the 2nd, when I slam my mag in my Glock the slide does release and it loads the next cartridge. I thought that is what they are supposed to do???? My 22 does it and so does my 21.

As for the ada, I'd tell that guy to keep his friggin' finger off the trigger! Don't pull it and it won't go BANG!

How old is the weapon?
Has it had the new firing pin safety installed? (the upgrade)

If your department has a Glock trained aromrer, I would highly suggest having them take a look at it.

I don't have all the info at hand right now, but I'll do some checking.

We've seen this happen a couple times with some Glocks - even brand new ones. I used to see this almost every time with my old Sig P226.

My Glock 22 has over 15,000 rounds through it and it is still looking good. I rarely have this happen. But in my years, I've seen almost every make of weapon do this. We used to teach that there was a possibility that there was no round in the chamber when this occurred, but over time, we realized that there is almost ALWAYS a round shoved into the chamber when this happens.

Hope this helps!

And it wasn't an accidental discharge. The gun went BANG because that's what it's supposed to do when the trigger is pulled. (Feature by design) That's no accident. That's a Negligent Discharge. The officers' negligence caused the discharge.
