I've always just done the basic strip and clean. Never removed the striker and checked the channel until today. I coudn't belive how much gunk was on the striker, spring, and in the channel area. Dumped the whole striker with spring and all in some hoppes 9 cleaner and let it soak for a few minutes. Then cleaned it and the channel with a clean rag and some qtips. I'm really curious how that much gunk could get in there, as I follow the manual and only lube the 6 places shown.

I'll go to the range again this weekend and see how it does. I have to believe all that gunk was affecting the integrity of the striker, resulting in light hits on the primer.

I had a brand new box of laxammo factory reloads. 500 rounds total. I shot half the can. 125 rounds in a glock 17 with zero issues. 125 rounds in glock 19 with 15 FTF. I can't believe the ammo would be the issue. With a sample size that large the glock 17 would have had at least a few FTF.

There are no mods to the glock. I perform a basic strip and clean after every trip to the range. I don't take the whole glock down and reassemble. I separate the upper with slide and barrel from the lower. Remove the barrel and spring and follow instructions in the manual. I'd rather have someone who knows glocks take is apart further and troubleshoot to see what is causing the FTF.

Put about 125 rounds today through my g17 gen 4 and ran flawless

Put about 125 rounds of same ammo through my g19 gen 4 today and had 15 FTF. Looks like light primer strikes. I would reload same round and next time they would work. Also had several instances where slide didn't lock back on the last round. Obviously the issue is isolated to my g19 based on same can of ammo being used.

Anybody know someone they would trust to work on a glock and troubleshoot? Certified glock armorer in DFW preferred. The closer to north Irving/Las Colinas the better.

Thanks in advance.
