Help with Glock 23 FTF Problem

Federal is very good ammo. But, proper troubleshooting procedure would also indicate that you ought to try some different ammo. It's possible that you landed into a bad box of the Federal product that's not giving enough energy to properly cycle the gun or that has some dimensional problem. This is a cheap, quick, easy thing to elliminate too. A few bucks and a few minutes and you'll know the answer. If you're shooting at a range, you might be able to trade a handfull of rounds with someone else. This will be an especially-good test since you can see how your Federal stuff feeds in a different gun while seeing how different ammo which has been feeding properly in a different gun feeds in your gun.

Glocks are usually, if nothing else, very reliable... very reliable, indeed. But, it is vaguely possible that there is something wrong with the gun. To find that out, you're gonna have to put back the factory spring.

I honestly suspect, though, that everyone here is right and you're gonna find that it's the spring. I've heard, in the past, people have trouble with after-market, recoil reduction springs for Glocks (and other guns too, but Glocks especially seem to respond poorly to these after-market springs).

I never saw a Colt 1911 that wouldn't perform out of the box when used as intended. There is a reason it is the most copied handgun in the world. My guns for CCW are all left stock with the exception of sights, I do like tritium sights on defensive handguns.

I respect your past gun store experience; however a full industry of after market "improvements" sprang up around 1911s, back when Colt was the only maker. It was only after these improvements and rise the tupper ware showed what a well made pistol could do, that everyone else began making their own 1911.

Usually when industry giants fall, it isn't because they have a great product.
