Trust me when I say it was the ammo. I see it on the regular with many different firearms with that specific ammo especially on a fresh spring I've even seen it ON VP9 and other name brands forget about it even chambering on some 1911. seen it even with some 223 AR's. The gun is stiff right now being new coupled with that ammo. I will meet you at xring if you would like and assist you and wife to get that GLOCK° running with PERFECTION. Shucks I'll buy the box of ammo even. Let me know I'm good for it. Ask around

I’m pretty sure you nailed it on the head bro! I gotta wait for a day off to go back and put more rounds though it! I’ll shoot you a pm...

@flapp I agree... just a bit disappointed our first glock purchase... kinda makes me lean towards the S&W pro 9 rather than the glock 34

Was the same ammo used with the M&P (without issue)? You could try taking the M&P with next range session.

At a recent handgun class, a number of shooters were having failure to fires with a specific bunch of ammo with suspected hard primers. Same ammo malfunctioned with a bunch of guns and different makes (Glock and Sig). Also some more stock and others more mods.

A shooting friend loves to tinker. He was getting tons of failures to fire and we narrowed down to that he had recently swapped springs. Back to stock springs and no problem. He was shooting his own reloads though, but that worked fine in my stock 34. [revised after seeing response about mods]

Yes sir! Shot my shield with the same ammo on the same day... no issues then or ever if I recall... lol

Glock perfection....

@oldfart @heavies I know right? This was my first glock and it wasn’t even mine. I’m more of a S&W kinda guy but my wife wanted it. Happy wife happy life right? LOL?

Reason I ask is glock is probably one gun you don't clean out the box. That copper lube is the break in grease. Just wondering on that part...but I'm pretty sure you were using armscor ammo and I know that ammo runs a bit tight in the glock (née springs and barrel+ sticky ammo= malfunction (maybe a little  limp wristing sprinkled on top)) with that being said use the federal ammo at the range and you will have zero issues.
Correct... it was armscor. I’m sure there was no limp wristing involved. She and I have shot my M&p 600+ rounds no problem. Thank you for the help!

Just a light clean. The usual out of the box cleaning.

Took my wife to xring to test her brand new gen 5. Sad to say a few shots into the first mag there was a fail to fire. Looks like light primer strikes. After clearing the round in the chamber, I made sure the slide was in full battery and tried for myself. Same thing except with a new mag. Very disappointed... out of about 150 total rounds, about 10 were fail to fire. My shield 9 never ever had this problem before.

Happened to anyone before?
