So, I purchased my Glock 23 pretty recently. I put about 200 rounds or so through it without any issue. At the time, I was using Winchester white box rounds.
I and a few friends went out to a rural area to plink a bit, when I realized to my horror that my Glock 23 wasn't feeding properly.
Here are a couple things to note:
1) I was using Remington 180 gr FMJ UMC rounds
2) With the action open, slamming my loaded magazine into my gun would cause the slide to close and chamber the round. This happened with both the Remington ammunition and the Winchester ammunition.
3) Pretty regularly, a round would load crookedly into the chamber - simply racking the slide would cause that round to feed properly, but this happened almost every time I loaded a magazine and fired it.
4) This happened with the 3 magazines I brought with me.
5) I also shot a magazine of the Winchester ammunition that I shot flawlessly before, and even had a failure to feed on that one.
I'm not so sure limp-wristing was an issue considering I never had that problem before. I'm hoping this isn't a big deal, but does anybody have any ideas as to what could be causing this?
I thought that it might be a bad recoil spring, but I'm not really sure if that would cause this strange behavior. I'll take it to an armorer as soon as I can, but hopefully some of you guys can put my mind at ease until then.
