Brand new Glock 23 Gen4 FTE

[Austin83]

I shot my brand new Glock today and I had one FTE out of 125 rounds. I've never had a FTE so I was fairly suprised and perplexed as to what exactly happened. I was shooting Winchester Bonded PDX 165 grain, and I fired a shot, and I noticed the trigger didn't reset and was all the way back. I first thought I had emptied my clip and my thumb had been sitting on the slide release causing the slide to return to it's position. I removed the clip and noticed it was not empty. I then turned the pistol to the side and racked the slide and the shell extracted. I looked around to make sure it wasn't a live round that came out, but I was unable to find a live round sitting in the pile of brass at the range. I believe that occured in the first or second clip. I also fired a box of Blazer 180 grain FMJ w/out any problems and two more boxes of Winchester Bonded 165 grain withoiut any further problems. I do have a cut on my trigger finger that really did affect my shooting so I'm wondering if I limp wristed it. The more I think about it, the more I'm confused as to what actually happened, and now I'm doubting whether the trigger clicked or whether it didn't reset as I initially thought. Anyone ever had this problem? Any ideas?

There have been some problems with the springs on the GEN 4 Glocks. Check out http://www.glocktalk.com/forums" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; for details. I think there is a fix being shipped already by Glock.

Has happened to others, check glocktalk.

Shoot some more and see if it is repeatable or just a fluke. With the gun being that new it needs more rounds through it anyway.
