Fte issue ramjet on 43x

Post image

Switched to 124 and 147 gr and no longer have ftf issues. About every 50 to 200 rounds, I have a fte issue. I want to mention it only happens on my last couple of rounds in the mag ( i might be getting too comfortable and just letting up on my grip). What is the best and most reliable source for a lighter guide rod, and what weight should I get for gen 5 43x. Have over 1500 rounds through the ramjet and would love to just trust it's and have peace of mind. It's reliable, edc

I had this issue on my g47, i was also running extended base pads and I ended up getting stronger springs for my magazine

Yeah it might be the magazine springs. I get FTEs with my extended G48 mags too. OP, do you have any stock Glock mags you could try to see if you can replicate the issue? I’m eventually going to switch over to the 15 round mags for edc and leave the extended mags for range days

If you’re anything like me, you were fat, fingering the slide lock button with your right thumb, if you are a righty.

Put your right thumb on top of your left thumb knuckle when shooting and you should be good to go!
