Yea it had a little powder residue but the issue is definitely the slide not going all the way forward and the breech not closing 100% which is causing the off center primer strikes.

What, seriously?
I guess that's why I get those crazy looks at the range when I lube my guns.
I have the G27 Gen 4 if you want to try a different slide and or the guts. I also live in Aspren Hill and can take the ICC to 29 North bound and be in that area with in 30 minutes if you want to get together to try my Gen 4 guts. Let me know

Problem didn't crop up until the sights were changed. Lock the slide back and look for polished rub marks on the top of the barrel where the front sight would be above it when in battery. You may also want to field strip the pistol and look for rub evidence on the front sight screw. If there is, the sight tenon could be slightly long or the screw head a little thick. I don't have my Glock with me nor am I super familiar with them so I don't know what the dimensional relationships are there.
Secondly, that is short slide compact shooting a fairly significant high intensity cartridge. Subcompacts can fatigue recoil springs significantly faster than their larger brethren. Since the round count is unknown putting a new recoil spring in is wise. Not only is going into battery an issue with a weak recoil spring, so it bouncing back from battery impact and working against a rather significant striker spring.

Thats a very generous offer. I did order a new Recoil Spring last night. Are you a member of AGC? Just wondering. I’m up there often if you are not a member and every want some free range time as a guest just let me know. Hopefully by then I’ll have this issue licked...

The hex screw for the sights is very flat less than 1/16” and it does not appear to be scraping the top of the barrel. I do see some wear marks on the bottom of the barrel but it’s very slight.

Just reporting back that replacing the recoil spring solved the problem from what I can tell.
Shot 100 rounds of 9mm and 50 rounds of .40 cal no failures.

Good news. To bad it's a .40

I think the .40 cal basing reached it’s peak long before I became a member here. However I’ve got to learn whats good and bad on my own I guess. It was a low cost used gun and came with a 9mm conversion barrel. I just ordered a Sig .357 conversion barrel too. So it allows me to gain some subcompact shooting experience in 3 calibers at a low cost.

Hey Chad....I love 40. There. I said it.
Feels better now? No more sleepless nights or checking your post history. I’m sure your friends still accept you.
I’m tell mine, that I went to the gun store and every other caliber was sold out, and the ONLY handgun available was a .40CAL. So I had no choice. They take pity on me and say someday you’ll get a 10mm, and then you can have you man card back.

Glock and Sig!
On any .40 cal Glock, the recoil spring has limited life, I always recommend replacing it at 3k rounds fired, 9mm @ 5k rounds...
And just to make sure, if your gonna lube a Glock, make sure none of it goes into the striker channel, especially lubricants that can break down polymer (Mil-Tec or Rem-oil). If the weapon sits for a long time, the lubricant can distort the polymer channel sleeve. I've always used Hoppe's on the rails and barrel, that's it.
