safenate Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 Guys, i bought a G34 recently and have been working up several loads. Yesterday i took another half dozen to the indoor to run over the chrono. This is my fourth glock and i've shot dozens. The G34 only has about 500 rounds since i got it a few weeks ago, plus previous owner. I pulled the trigger and could feel a sliding motion and a light 'tap', but no bang. I ejected the round and found a light, off center primer strike. The strike wasn't on the perimeter of the primer, but at least midway between the center and outside of the primer. i rechambered and it fired fine. Any thoughts? Thanks.

Dan Hefta Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 What pound recoil spring do you have in the gun? Have you customized the gun in any way? It could have been a primer that wasn't seated all the way, I've had that happen to mine, now I double check each round when I case guage my ammo. Good luck, the G34 is a great firearm and I hope that you get the bugs worked out. Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bountyhunter Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 If it only did it once, write it off to a bad round. But, If your slide is moving slightly as you pull the trigger, it means the recoil spring is too light and not holding it in battery. If you have a progressive rate recoil spring, chuck it and get the stock one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flexmoney Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 Your gun was coming out of battery as you pulled the trigger (from what you have described). What all is not stock on the gun? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
safenate Posted June 11, 2008 Author Share Posted June 11, 2008 As far as i know there have been no mods, sights only. i put in a lightning strike captured guiderod with standard spring. I had some light strikes on rifle primers (burning up old primers when i ran out of pistol primers and noting velocity differences). I hope this is a fluke. I would like to put a lightning strike steel striker in, but don't know if that would make things better or worse or just different. bonus round: Comments on Universal vs. V320 vs. Bullseye vs. Titegroup vs. ? for 9mm minor (115 MT Gold), 40 major (165 MT Gold) & 45 major (200 MT Gold)?

Greg Bell Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 off-center would indicate out of battery, put a stock recoil assy in to debug the problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
