I shot 100 rds of hot ammo with a 22 lb ISMI spring. No FTEs. I will try another 300 rounds of hot ammo with the 22 lbs spring. If not FTE's I will consider the problem solved. From what I have read, the G40 slide is thin walled and weighs a few ounces less than a G20 slide. This may be a reason more spring is needed on a G40.

I put in a brand new LCI extractor, spring, SL bearing and plunger from MidwayUSA. It certainly did HELP the problem. I only had one malfunction in 60 rds of hot ammo. I'll be trying the heavier recoil springs soon.

I will swap in a new extractor, spring, bearing and plunger and see if the problem persists. I have some heavy recoil springs to try if the problem remains.

I swapped in a brand new Glock ejector. It did not fix the issue. These malfunctions ONLY occur with VERY hot ammo (Hornady factory 180 gr XTP loads, all Underwood 180gr + hollow point loads) I do not have issues with mediocre ammo (FMJ practice ammo or Winchester 180gr Silvertips).

Yes I hold pistols with a thumbs forward grip.

I will swap in a new ejector and see if that helps.

This is a brand new Glock G40 (10mm). This happens sporadically with several varieties of factory ammo...Hornady and Underwood. Maybe 1 in 25 rounds. I'm guessing ejector or extractor.

Has this match been canceled?

I tried this mod and was pretty unimpressed. My 1050's run a lot better without the bearing IMO.

Are you sending out email confirmations? I sent in my check and app like a month ago and have not heard anything and my check remains undeposited.

Those in the know have piles of them.

With CProducts 40rd round mags I can run out to 2.27" reliably.

Very nice job! It's good to see jobs done properly with a mill and not a dremel.

Daniel used a 10.5" at the first and 2nd 3GN pro matches.

Long tubes can be very advantageous. It's not really about cramming in an extra couple shells at the buzzer. It allows a more flexible loading plan that could potentially save some amount of time.

Fiocchi makes fine ammo. I've shot tens of thousands of Fiocchi shells through my Benelli shotguns. You might want to have your gun checked out.

Ghost loading is legal but you can't start with over 9 in the gun total.

I'll leave the "RB^3" at home.

The 1050 is an amazing beast. I have two. I helped a buddy dial in his new 550 the other day. Wow it's like a little inefficient toy compared to my 1050's.

Do we need a rifle or shotgun sling?

The Super Sport has a ported barrel and is not legal for use in Tac Optics division. Stick with an M2 with a vent rib barrel of some kind.

What goes bang everytime? A Benelli.

100% normal

How long until "paper GM" 3gunner's start showing up to outlaw 3gun matches and can't even break into the top 25?

3GN Top 30: 17 Benelli (of which 4 are sponsored by Benelli) 5 Versamax (of which 3 are sponsored by Remington) 5 FN SLP (of which 2 are sponsored by FNH) 1 Mossberg (of which 1 is sponsored by Mossberg) 1 Beretta (Stefan Wiggins) 1 ?
