# I bought a Glock 36 about four months ago.  After the first
hundred

the

I
# experienced this with both the Winchester USA 230 Grain FMJ
and the
# Federal American Eagle 230 Grain FMJ.  I tried a different
Glock
# factory magazine (plus the two that came with the gun), but I
# experienced that same problem.  The gun shop where I bought
the Glock
# 36 had their gunsmith smooth out the extractor, but the
problem
# continued.  Next, the gun shop sent the G36 back to
Glock--they
# changed the recoil spring and also switched out the
extractor.  This
# seemed to make the problem worse.  So, the gun shop sent the
G36 back
# to Glock again, and Glock sent a new gun.  No misfeeds for
the first
# hundred rounds or so; then the problem starts happening
again.
#
# The problem has been verified by the gun shop, as two of
their
# employees test-fired the gun with my American Eagle
ammunition and
# experienced the same problem.  This eliminates limp-wristing,
as one
# of the two test-firers is a national pistol champion, and the
second

years.

# This Glock 36 is a fine gun--accurate to 50 yards off-hand.
I want to
# keep the gun, but I also would like to be able to count on it
when the
# rubber hits the road.   So, this brings up the question:
What is the
# problem?  Right now, I'd like to hear your experience with
your Glock
# 36, if you own one (or if you did at some point).  Did you
experience
# this problem?  What ammunition did you use?  Please e-mail me
at
# [EMAIL PROTECTED], or post here.  Many thanks for your
help!

I own a number of Glocks but not the M36.  None of my Glocks
have ever burped, not one time.  I also use a variety of ammo..
I would suggest that you request yet another completely new
handgun.  Incredible problem.  Please keep us posted as to how
you resolve the problem.
