View Full Version : Has anyone still had jams with G19 and 9mm4s?
Has anyone with the so called "f series" jams (not last round nose dives, but random nose dives) still had the problem when using the latest 9mm mags with 9mm4 followers?
I've had this issue a bit. It even occured with a NFML G19 mag with a 9mm3 follower. Just got some of the brand new 9mm4 LEO mags.
Some folks are getting new barrels from glock apparently. I don't think i'd bother if the 9mm4 mags would make it 100% reliable.

Well, I can say that I have not had a single FTF since I started using the 9mm4 followers. The 10rnd mags would give me problems like no other. This was with the 9mm1, and 9mm3. I couldn't shoot 10 rnds without a FTF, but now with the 9mm4s I have probably shot over 200 rnds of GD 124+P without a hitch. This is saying something since previously I couldn't shoot 10 without 2-3 FTFs.
Also got some new LEO standard capacity magazines w/ 9mm4s, and so far they have fed 100% to my G19 FSKxxx series. I also have some LEO marked with 9mm1s and 9mm3, but I haven't had a chance to test them out yet.
I have 4 LEO mags with 9mm4 and they all function perfect and the hollow points are hitting the middle of the feed ramp right where they should.

"4" seems to have solved my problem, too. I seem to recall that NYPD had to turn in their old mags and get the "4" versions when their G19's were modified by Glock. If so, that would tell us how important NYPD/Glock believe the new mags are.
I put over 400 rounds through a brand-new G19 Saturday, without a burp. A total of 15 magazines were tried; the three with 9mm4 followers that came with the gun, and 12 that are over ten years old with the 9mm1 follower.
From what I've been reading here, all this "jamming" seems to be occurring with the Klinton mags.
We have quite a few G19s in service at my agency, and there simply haven't been any problems at all.
9mm4 fixed my JHP woes in the 10 rounders. I've not had the chance to shoot my new standard caps, which came with m4s--can't imagine they won't work.
Anyone try the new #5 followers yet? I'm sure they work the same, but would like to know if the follower is captured like the other followers, or if it sits atop the spring like the #4.
Took my 19 out yesterday with the 9mm4 full cap mags. Worked as advertised. Absolutely no jams with a couple hundred HPs. Ran 147 gr Winchester Rangers and Wallymart 100 round greenbox hps. Remington i believe. Some FMJ too. Ahhh, I guess this 19 was designed for this follower. Glad to find the solution.
