Gen 5 Glock 9mm Lock Up After Dud

...I was looking at it backward in my mind...

Not gonna lie, you had me going for a while with the striker tip deal.

Tried to say as much earlier

Begs the question why it doesn't happen on his earlier gen models. If I was him I'd replace my firing pin.

Same happened with my Gen-5’s, but it also happened with an older G-22 that I converted to 9mm. Even the Gen 3 and 4 guns had a jerky cycle, I wouldn’t be surprised if a bit of firing pin drag inside the primer pocket wasn’t happening with those, too. ( No X-Ray vision here, just hazarding a guess .)

The two Gen 5 Glocks I have (45 and 19X) work beautifully when fired. It seems like this is a bit of an odd one-off situation with that type of dummy round. (If it starts happening while firing, then the gun really needs attention.)

Stay safe.

I was getting that old style Glock square primer mark/firing pin swipe issue from years past bubbling in my mind. Seemed to make sense while I was typing.

DOH!

Stay safe.
