Glock question

[Shemp]

Quick question regarding glocks...I've been carrying my 19 and so far it's been pretty great. I do have one annoying problem though...when I insert a fully loaded 15 round mag,chamber a round, and holster the gun I noticed that bending or otherwise moving around rapidly causes the rounds in the mag to rattle...its fairly easy to hear.

Is there a way to fix this?

I've also noted that slamming a loaded 15 round mag in on a closed slide is pretty damn hard...not a huge deal but not ideal. Is this also normal?

It's normal, every 19 I've had does it. It's a minor annoyance but I try and leave mags alone so I don't fuck with reliability.

Indeed. That seems like a problem glock would address...oh well. Not a huge deal.

That's the sound of "perfection". It exists to remind you constantly of how perfect it truly is.

I was going to point out how ugly they are but I think it's best if I don't.

I'm pretty ugly too so I guess it works

Yet you did. Very clever.

are you topping the mag back off after you chamber a round? I don't know that I have ever noticed my mags rattle. Let me check.

 

[NWS]

just checked, no rattle. I even took a round out, still no rattle. Tried with the mag in the gun, out of the gun, etc. I guess I don't understand what you are describing. I'll be at the M&G in douglasville Saturday if you want to compare Glocks.

 

[Strider12]

Same here. No rattle.

 

[Shemp]

Hmm. I'll try and take a video.

It sounds like one or two rounds are moving back and forth in the magazine...

My Gen 3 15 rnd rattles, my 15 + 2 rnd gen 3 doesn't, and my magpul 17 rnd doesn't.

 

[George P. Burdell]

I've never had that issue with any of my mags or g19s

You know that it is a Glock and not an HK right? In a Glock the rounds go in frontwards.

I have a mixture of mags that rattle and some that don't. There seems to be no pattern. Some just rattle with -1. They are fine at -2. I have the same issue with CZ P07 mags. None of my HK mags rattle.

Put the mag in the oven for 30 minutes at 400, it solves the rattle

The only other mag I've had this happen with was with a CZ PCR

Never noticed either ,carry 17. But I am partially deaf. Had issues with XD with mags being tight but neither of my Glocks.
