Well, I have been doing all I can to avoid limp wristing it. I don't think that is the problem but if it does turn out to be the cause I will be listing it for sale or trade. I hope it doesn't come to that cause I find it really comfortable to carry (and I like the idea of making BIG holes ), if it does I will probably replace it with the G26. Rest assured if I look to get rid of it I will list it here first!

Went to the range today and tried the G36 again - same result 3 rounds out of 100 failure to extract. I tried to be very concious of limp wristing and then I later tried firing a magazine full doing everything possible to CAUSE a limp wristing problem. No FTE when exagerating the limp wristing so I really doubt it is that. Have not yet been able to match schedules with a shooter friend to have someone else try it. If I have not resolved the problem by next weekend I will probably take it to the Pasadena show and have a gunsmith who is usually there take a look at it. I am trying to avoid sending it for a 5-6 week vacation trip to Georgia.

Should it prove to be limp wristing I will probably have to find a new home for it and try something else.

Can you tell me who exactly qualifies for LE pricing and how much of a savings it is? If it is listed on a website maybe you could direct me there.

I thoght of that as a possible cause and do have somewhat arthritic and week wrists. The thing that makes me discount that as the cause is I put over 250 rds through this gun without a single failure before I had the first FTE problem.

I have also never had a problem with my G19 after several thousand rounds, is the G36 more prone to this then the G19? Could I be "limp wristing'" in anticipation of the greater recoil of the .45 over the 9mm?

As far as ammunition I have tried several brands since the problem arose. I am mostly using Winchester Whit Box 230 gr FMJ, this is exactly the same ammo that I utilized for the first 250 rds which were trouble free. Did not see anything that looked wrong with the magazine or extractor at least to my un-educated eyes.

I am the first owner of this firearm and have never loaded a round through the top, always used the loaded magazine then reload the 'extra' round into the mag and reinsert method.

I am thinking I will take this gun to the Pasadena show in two weeks and have TR Graham look at it. If it is a 'cheap' fix I would rather pay him to fix it then have the downtime and shipping costs of sending it to Glock. I was going to have him smooth out the trigger a little on it anyway.

I recently added a Glock 36 to my arsenal for primary use as a CCW. I have been much impressed by it but I seem to have developed a problem with it: I had no failures of any kind for the first 300 rounds but have now begun to have FTE problems on the order of 1 per fifty rounds fired. Not horrible but enough to make me hesitant to use it for carry until I solve the problem.

Problems do not have a pattern - sometimes occurs in first magazine after cleaning somtimes not until I have fired 50 founds. Brand of ammunition seems to make no difference

I am dissapointed as I have never had a FTF or FTE in either of my other Glocks (17 & 19) in over 10K rounds.

Anyone else had or heard of this problem in a G36?
