I have never had it happen when I put a magazine in gentlely. But a slightly harder shove will do it. It's great in IDPA matches.

As an aside, my Bersa Thunder 380 also does that. My Sig will even do it with a significant slap. I wouldn't worry about it. Like I said, if you are placing the magazine in (which hardly anyone does) and it does this, have it looked at by a Glock armorer.

Thanks for the support! Looked like I was a loner on this for a while. Been there before. But hey! IT IS NOT A MALFUNCTION! WooHoo! Glock on!

Ram Rod, though my opinion hasn't changed, my comments were not directed at you personally, just thought I'd clarify that.

I have been messing around with this and no matter what I do, my Glock does not do this. That is fine for me, as this is not a feature I would like.

Obviously your gun is broken. Send it to me and I will fix it for you. I should have it back to you in, oh, 3 or 4 years.

You are right. It is on its way.

I guess I will just stick to my good old wheel guns.

I would never take it that way. Not a problem. Your opinion is sound. We're all different.
My Glocks have always chambered the top round when this occurs. If I pull the trigger someday and nothing happens, I'll do the tap-rack-bang drill. Could that cost me 1.5 seconds in a SD scenario? Possibly.....but I'd rather do that than eject a live round with the tap-rack-bang method thinking there was a malfunction. Practice and training with your particular pistol is the most important thing, and to be safe, and with minimal 'surprises'.

Not to beat what may be a dead horse but I went to the range today to practice with my USP9c and P-01 and figured I'd do some testing. When inserting a loaded mag into the USP with excessive force and the action open, the slide immediately closed everytime and chambered a round. It only did this with excessive force and not once with just enough force to lock in the mag which is my normal routine. The slide on my P-01 did not budge no matter how hard I inserted the mag.

In my USP manual it states "Forcefully inserting a loaded magazine into the USP may cause the pistols slide to close, chambering a cartridge and making the USP ready to fire." I got my Glock used with no manual, so I was unsure if this was a know occurance with them.

Yup, that's correct, as does my mine, which is why up until yesterday I have always avoided using too much force. I was checking for consistency and it proved to be consistent with my USP. You should consider getting a manual for your Glock for reference.

No matter what any one heard in some class or on a range. If its not in the manual it is not suposed to happen.
