No respectable Man Cave would be without them. They're in their house as well.

I'm getting some jams with my gen 3 Glock 20sf. Took this pic today at the range. Failure to feed. Anyone have any ideas what's going on? I'm thinking it could be the stock glock spring, which is only 17 pound. I think most guys recommend getting a 22 pound for the 10mm. I'm just not sure what it is. I get about 3 jams out of ever 75 rounds, I don't like this at all. Someone help:r

By the way, the only issues I'm having are failure to feed. No extraction problems or stove pipes. Maybe this can help narrow the scope of my issue down.

Try different ammo/magazines before you change springs.

I agree.
The few times I have experienced this it has been ammo related.

And mark your mags numerically. Easier to keep track of failures.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 
Thanks guys. I'll test my mags and mark the mags with failures next time. Will be testing new ammo too

Actually, just mark them 1, 2, 3, etc...

REALLY becomes helpful when you've got more than 10 mags. For different firearms. In different calibers. :D

So I was at the range the other day teaching my friend how to properly shoot a handgun. She has shot before but never was taught proper grip, stance ect.. so she caught a couple shells to the face and one down the shirt but took em like a champ and kept shooting. I as well got one or two to the forehead but I'm used to it by now.. well I wasn't expected or used to what was about to happen. So I was trying to show off and show her how awesome my grouping was and I was super focused on my front site and trigger pull.. slowly pulling the trigger back then I noticed something didn't feel right. As I left a round down range the brass managed to find its way between my eyes and my glasses. Now my glasses wrap around and since I'm asian my nose isn't that pronounced meaning.. it was stuck in there. I managed to keep the gun down range and with my off hand lift my glasses so it could drop out. At least it didn't somehow find its way down my pants!

Haha, don't feel bad. I've had the same thing happen to me twice. The first was my left eye got a nice blister from that one. A couple of weeks later I got one on my right eye and another blister.

By the way brass to face and in the shirt should be pretty uncommon from your own gun unless there is a wall next to you. What kind of pistol are you shooting?

M&P 9mm it ejects fine I've had a couple but its only got about 400 rounds through it and there was a wall (indoor range)

Cool beans. I've had that brass to face problem with my newer glock 19. Changed out the extractor and ejector and everything runs smoothly.

Nothing worse than rifle range day, 15 guys shooting AR's......I always try to shoot on the far left of the line, I hate catching hot brass on my neck, eye, down the shirt when trying to qualify!!
