Did I screw up?

Just purchased Tula steel case 115 grain 9mm fmj for my glock. racked the slide through all the rounds in the magazine to ensure no feeding problems and got problems. some stuck and I had to force the dam slide back hard to get it loose. any one have problems with steel cased ammo and glocks? dont wanna say what i payed, my town is running dry on ammo.

Hand cycling rounds is a terrible and ineffective way to see if they’re going to cycle.

I’ll bet $5 sight unseen that they function just fine in your Glock.

probly right, just never purchased steel cased ammo
heard bad reviews

They’ll work. And they absolutely will not harm your Glock.

Usually a very bad idea to cycle live rounds. Take them to the range to determine functionality.

I run Tula all the time through my Gen 3 17. All of it runs like a champ.

Thats what I got, gen 3 g17. good to hear it :smiley:

Yeah you’re gun is done. I will vebe nice and take it off your hands for $100 bucks! Now seriously speaking. I have heard from both guys that never touch steel-cased to guys who use nothing but that. I only use brass. But if it works after you live fire it. Keep going I’d say.

Care to elaborate? Is it because of the higher potential of a negligent discharge? Perhaps the dented casings that could potentially cause a malfunction in the future?

I’m curious as well. What is the difference in un-chambering a round when putting a gun away for storage or unloading the chambered round after duty? Only thing I could think of is repetitive chambering of one round causing the bullet to be pushed deeper in the case and spike pressures.

My factory G17 eats it no problem but my G22 with Stormlake 9mm conversion barrel doesnt like the steel cases much.

Negligent discharge potential and the forces at play during live fire are not the same when hand cycling.

I am used to hand cycling full magz! never had bullets get stuck in the barrel and had to force the slide back to get the round out… 1k through the g17 gen 3.

Why are you hand cycling 1000 rounds through a gun? What are you trying to accomplish.

fuk no! one k through FIRING REAL bullets. I hand cycle most of my ammo before the range. So 1000 rounds through the Glock No malfunctions Yet!

Well at least you didn’t go that far.

Stop hand cycling every mag before you go shoot it. It serves no purpose and doesn’t simulate feeding during fire.

I shot 50 out of my glock the other day and have 0 issues.

I don’t get the reason for hand cycling practice rounds. At that point, you had already bought them anyway, might as well just shoot them and see what happens.

For ‘duty’ ammo, LAV recommends chamber checking each round - meaning removing the barrel and dropping each round into the chamber.

I think this says it all.

I’ve shot around 2500 rounds of steel cased Wolf and Tula thru my G17. They are okay, but are not for taking to a gun fight.

Ive shot over 2k of Tula alone through my 2 gen 3, glock 17’s

I’ve had two “Dud” rounds. (Tap Rack Bangers).
