PROBLEM NO.1 - GLOCK 19 FEEDING ISSUE

The first G19 issue that can be found is the feeding issue. It can happen that it feeds great until it hits the last round or two in the 10 round magazine. Then the bullet is not lifted high enough to guide onto the ramp and it just hits the bottom of the ramp with half of the round below said ramp. This problem can easily result in jamming of your Glock 19.

PROBLEM NO.2 - GLOCK 19 RECOIL

Sometimes, it can happen that the recoil spring in your Glock 19 is slipping out of the spot where you push it into when assembling the pistol after break down. There is a circular groove on the barrel that you depress the spring into. And when you seat the spring all the way into this groove and then try to rack the slide back and take it apart again, the spring can slipp all the way out of the groove and be just barely hanging in there.

PROBLEM NO.3 - GLOCK 19 FAILURE TO EXTRACT

Another very common one of the Glock 19 issues is the extractor issue. It can cause a few failures to extract per magazine. You can try to clean it many times and still the failures can keep occurring. This tricky situation can happen because Glock 19 doesn’t have the spring loaded bearing in the end of the extractor depressor plunger spring that goes in the extractor depressor plunger. This particular issue can be really problematic especially for not so experienced shooters.

PROBLEM NO.4 - GLOCK 19 SLIDE ISSUE

The last issue we would like to mention is the Glock 19 slide stop lever issue. Some shooters experienced the slide come back and stayed like it is supposed to do when the last

bullet is fired when firing just a round. Meaning the slide on your Glock 19 locks back after firing a round and still having rounds in the magazine. That can be caused by the slide stop lever going up and catching the slide. In some cases when this slide stop lever issue occurs, removing it, cleaning it, inspecting it and then reinstalling it might help.
