My Glock 36 single stack .45 became my instant favorite and my EDC right off the bat, beating out my Glocks 19, 26 and 20 for that everyday job. I still occasionally grab the others but my default every morning has been the 36 for the better part of the last month.
During that time I've launched upwards of 1200 rounds thru it over many range sessions. It recoils light for a .45, is accurate and it's a Glock. I love shooting it.
But unlike most Glocks it has not been 100% reliable. More like 95% reliable. At all of my range sessions I've had at least one FTF, FTE, slide locking back for no reason and just lately, a spent casing trapped in the chamber. I get at least one jam per session/100 rounds.
All this has lead to me improving my tap/rack/clear drills but doesn't instill the type of confidence I like in a SD firearm. My 19 and 26 have been flawless through 1000 rounds through each.
So what do I do with a gun I love to carry and shoot but is suspect with regards to reliability? What have you done when you encountered that problem child in your carry rotation? I am carrying my 36 as I write this but wondering what I should do next if anything at all.
