1st things first: This is my first posting on pistolsmith.com--- greetings to all!
Here's my question: I took a friend and his two sons shooting this weekend. It was their first time on a range. We shot mainly with .22s as this was their introduction to target shooting. However at the end I pulled out my 3rd gen Glock 17 and fired a few rounds. When it came time for the boys (ages 11 and 13) to shoot, the Glock experienced several failures to cycle and one failure to fully extract (empty case at 90 degree angle in ejection port). Is this caused by the boys not holding the gun firmly enough? I also experienced failures of the slide to stay open after the last round (I was using original Glock post ban mags). Should I be concerned? The gun seemed to work just fine in my hands.
