Glock 36 and the Cor-Bon 230gr. +p's..........

[JERRY]

my bubble has been busted(or is it burst?).

shot my g36 loaded with c.b. powerball, my carry load for the past 2 years.....old ammo, shoot it up replace it with new.


i bought about 200 rounds of the c.b. 230gr. 200gr. and 185gr.......during the 230gr. shooting(what i wanted to carry from now on) i got f.t. feed randomly with 3 different mags, hollow point caught on the feed ramp.....

ive shot this ammo before without any problems in this gun until today(no limp wristing here). the 200 and 185 grainers have the same h.p. profile and appear to be of the same length, eyeballing it, and they fed just fine right after the 230gr.

i carried powerball in my g36 for this exact reason as it was alledgedly prone to this failure....i now see this is true in my gun at least.

i wanted something heavierthan the 165gr. powerball even though it penetrates like a 200grainer in ballistic gelotin.

i then shot some wwb 230gr. h.p.'s with no problems what so ever and 185gr. sthp wal-mart had on clearance.

the win sthp and the wwb h.p. have the same profile.

i guess this gun just isnt designed for reliable feeding with agressive h.p. profiles. DAMN.

by the way, the sthp shot so smooth and easy, it is what im loaded with now until i find something heavier to settle on.



got a glock 36? what say you?

From what I've been reading, the G36 is the problem child in all the Glock line. So your experience is not that far off.
Try WInchester SXT. Its the most reliable to feed JHP I've tried so far. All of my 1911's like it.

Try sticking to ammo from regular ammo makers and not "Make A Death Wish" ones like Corbon.

Yep, some here will scream about that comment but that's my opinion and I'm sticking to it.

You want performance ammo go to a company that makes and loads their own bullets like SPEER or Hornady.

I had a 36 and it ate any ammo from the likes of Rem. and Winchester; also my handloads using XTP's; which are not on the light side either.

However some of the mags for the 36 can be defective wear prematurely and not hold up well to use.

"i guess this gun just isnt designed for reliable feeding with agressive h.p. profiles. DAMN."

For one thing that stuff isn't proven on the street and another it's very probably the ammo that's the problem not the 36.

Own dailey CCW is a 36 using Rangers T-series. It's never typed one'd on that ammo not to mention it is ext. accurate. Personally don't use their +P as own drills show the extra 100 ft. Lbs. make it markedly harder to get the required, accurate 2nd round off in a "Quick Aimed Pair" at speed.

i didnt get some of your post.........typos i gues?

street prooven? there have plenty of street shooting with cor-bon and there are quite a few bad guy pushing up daisys because of it. were they police shootings? no, but that doesnt negate its effectiveness.

this particular model has a different feed ramp design than other glocks.... and cor-bon ammo has one of the most agressive h.p. cavities in the business. together they can add up to jams, which i didnt have before with this combo but have had now so i wont use it anymore.

if you must ammo bash, start a new thread.

also, i agree with the +p making follow up shots slower as a general rule, but for me it hasnt been a real world measurable difference. im sure somewhere there is somebody who could tell me that im .0538 seconds slower with it, but im o.k. with that.
