So Ive been carrying my glock 36 for quite a while. I was switching out the ammo for something newer and realised the mags arent dropping out. This is a failry new occurance as it used to drop them free. It feels like its getting hung up on something but after disassembily I see no rub or wear marks where it might be getting hung up. Now I have a carry gun I dont feel comfortable carrying until its fixed.

Any ideas or likey problems with the slim line glock I can look for?

Have you tried wiping the inside of the mag well?

Yeah, not all that dirty and no sharp edges or anything.

Having mags that don't drop free should make you hesitate from carrying it. Is it just one mag or all your mags? Do you have pics of the mags?

This never happens with a 1911....

Plenty of other issues with 1911's though.

I have plenty of non drop free 1911 mags.

He won't need a reload. He's using a man's caliber

Every man should practice the pull out method

Don't always expect your magazine to fall out, when doing emergency reloads.

Do you feel any resistance while inserting the magazine? What happens if you press the mag release all the way in one smooth push firmly? Will it drop free then?

You guys are obviously doing it wrong....or you are shooting Tauruses. If Glock wanted their platform to work they wouldn't have made plastic magazines.

have you got one of those Hogue rubber grip wraps on the pistol?

I've practiced having to pull the mags out but since I have other carry setups mind as well use em till I figure out whats causing the issue.

No deformation on any of the mags & yes all mags seem to catch or get hung up in the same spot.

And no wrap around grip. Stock glock w/ oem mags.

The cause is plastic rubbing on plastic. All of my Glocks do the same thing. I find that a slight shake of the gun gets them to fall right out.

If you shake it more than twice, it means you're playing with it.

How old are the mags you are using? I have never had it happen with newer mags I've purchased in the last 4 years or so.
