mechthor44 Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 First, Hello, Just joined today. I was hoping for a little help with my question below. Thank you in advance!! Brand new G34 Gen5, stock except for a Alpha Wolf threaded barrel.Was using Glock 17 round and 24 round magazines. I had at least 2 light strikes every 5 - 6 rounds. Was shooting Sellier & Bellot 9mm luger 124 grain ammo. Anyone have an idea on what the problem could be and or what i should do. Just got the gun on the 23rd, and took to the range on the 24th. Any information would be great, thank you!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rooster Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 Put stock barrel back in. If problem goes away it’s the the barrel. If problem doesn’t go away then it’s the ammo. One thing to check is the safety plunger. Take slide apart and check plunger for any markings that could indicate the firing pin hitting it.

bcane98 Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 Did you clean all the shipping oils from it? When I purchase guns I do a full cleaning tip to tail, all the internals, and then apply Lucas Gun Oil... new and/or used. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mechthor44 Posted June 25, 2020 Author Share Posted June 25, 2020 Thank you for you response. I am going to hit the range with the original barrel today, not sure how it could cause light strikes, but you are not the first one who said it is possible. Kind of hope it's not the barrel, but i'll see. Thanks again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did oil the few spots they recommend for Glock, but did not clean it, but will now. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ima45dv8 Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 For your problem, remove the firing pin assembly and clean the channel with some q-tips. It needs to be dry. And like rooster said, check the safety plunger for nicks or dings around the narrower portion in the middle, though I think it unlikely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cuz Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 I would NOT recommend lubing the gun. It came with some of that copper grease on it and that should be plenty of lube for your first thousand or so rounds. Glocks actually run better dry. If you got any line in the firing pin channel, that needs to be cleaned out., as previously mentioned. Also putting the stock barrel in “should” solve the problem. Maybe the aftermarket barrel is just slightly off and sometimes prevents the slide from going fully forward. It may not be enough to notice visually. Also, for future reference, always take a new gun to the range and put 50-100 rounds through it before you start tweaking things.
