    Angry Making the dog hunt

    Bottom line: IMHO, send your Glock back.
    Why should everyone else get to own an engineering marvel when you have to put up with an occasional failure?
    Like I said, let them figure it out.
    Believe my SP5K will only run with MP5 mags.
    It's really a civilian MP5.
    And when I bought OEM mags from Hk they were actually MP5.
    The curved 30 rounders are not cheap and run ~$70 each.

    As for the Glock, I'm no armorer, but FTF is usually RSA or mag springs (already changed out).
    Strange thing is it ran fine with OEM 40 Storm Lake 40-9,357,40 up to around 6K on the clock.
    Then occasional FMJ FTF with all barrels?
    The only stinker was the jam o matic OEM G33 357 barrel (with G33 mags)
    That POS FTF nearly every mag from day one (and was my reason for going with Storm Lake).
    Only thing I can think of for FTF is polishing the feed ramp and/or opening the chamber?
    Maybe at 6K it just needs an overhaul/tune up?
    That seems to be what Bawanna is recommending?

    I really like the Scottsdale Gun Club gunsmithing service.
    Maybe I should break out the G27 and give it to them for a complete repair/replace everything?
    Go back to bone stock 40 or 357?
    I'll think about it.
    Really hate having a gun I can't trust

    Update:
    I've decided to go with;
    1) AlphaWolf Stainless Steel LCI 9mm Extractor,
    White Sound Defense High Reliability Extractor Depressor Plunger Assembly for 9mm
    and a OEM 9mm trigger housing/ejector.
    2) Using my Storm Lake G27 40-9mm stainless steel conversion barrel (it's a tack driver).
    3) Have Scottsdale Gun Club inspect and replace any other worn parts.

    Maybe I can make this dog hunt after all
    Thanks for the push guys!

    Update 2.0:
    Dropped off gun and parts at the gunsmith.
    Having the Storm Lake barrel throated and polished as well.
    Gunsmith is confident he can make it run right - Woo Hoo!!!

    The gun is a TALO EXO exclusive G27 with a nickel boron Fail Zero self lubricating slide.
    The Storm Lake 40-9mm barrel is stainless steel and looks like a Bull Barrel in the gun.
    Gunsmith commented on how nice it looks.
    I'm beginning to believe this story is going to have a happy ending - LOL!
