I originally sent this to Dean, and he suggested I post this on the forum.
I'm about one month from turning 18, so please excuse any mistakes in terminology. I recently went shooting with a family friend. I used a Glock 19, firing "military surplus" 9mm ammo (M882, I guess). Several times, I had failures to fire, and I did TRB to clear the gun. When I took a look at the cartridges afterwards, I noticed several primer strikes in the 12 o'clock position, and one centered light primer strike. I could try to dig up these cartridges and photograph them.
Because of the similarities to Dean's with your Glock 21, I'd guess that the pistol was out of battery, and when I watched the owner fire the pistol I saw that it was once out of battery after firing. I'm not sure about the age of the gun, but I know that the owner is very dilligent with cleaning and maintaining his guns.
Any thoughts? By the way, what type of primer is used in M882 ball?
