Were you shooting factory loads or handloads? Have shot lots of both and have not had any stovepipes with any factory ammunition. When developing new loads for my Glock 37, I have had several due to too low a velocity to cycle the slide but that problem is easy for me to fix.

limp wristing is the main reason. other than that poor maintainence is the only other one i can think of but i'm sure theres more.
