Failure to feed. Most likley caused by me. I had a shotgun pointed at me by a very unfriendly person about to pull the trigger, actually he did pull the trigger and while I was ducking, I was also pulling my weapon from my duty holster and I had a very poor grip on the weapon, which is probably why it failed to feed the second round.Quote:

I had a Glock 27 a few years ago and had some of the same problems with magazine feed. I sold it to another agent who wanted a 27 as back-up. I went back to my Smith model 60 5-shot for undercover work and a general back-up. I always carry my Glock 22 and at least one extra mag. DEA regulations make it clear that an agent is to carry his issued full size duty pistol for all enforcement activities, but I have noticed agents that use the compact 27 with a Glock 22 mag. Personally, the Remington 870 12 gauge makes a believer out of everyone and I've had suspects scream like little girls and poop themselves when looking at the BOOM end. Guys who poop themselves end up in the new guy's G-ride. Makes for a great day:DQuote:

That was some freaky Sierra :eek:
Funny, my PFI kept telling me I was "limping wristing" the shot. I've never limped wristed anything in my life.Quote:

Law enforcement tall tale: Late 80s I worked a surgery on a victim/suspect who had been shot six times in the abdomen by a 44Mag at about 7 feet. The bullets eviscerated his stomach, kidney, big chunk of liver, and general mayhem to below the rib cage. Took the docs about 12 hours to stabilize and sew him up. After he was shot he jumped from the second window of a house, and ran five blocks dragging chunks. The doctors were worried that he'd get up and run away (we'd had that happen more than once during surgery).
My take away after seeing an officer die from 22lr's is that bad ass attitude is a true survival trait.
Slap and Gute:
We had our problem a year or two later so that you had your malfuction in 1999 would stand to reason.
Everybody in our organization initially attributed it to limp wristing also. I had a heck of a struggle getting them to see that proficient shooters all over the state were having the same problem regularly so it wasn't limp wristing.
The funny thing about limp wristing is the only pistol that I ever fired that would malfuction if you limp wristed it was that lousy Berrata.
My dad has one - it's a freakin hand cannon!Quote:
