SL, I'd suggest sticking with actual factory ammo (Rem., Win., Fed., S&B, Mag-Tech, etc. To my knowledge, Georgia Arms is a small reloader who MAY be having production problems. This isn't certain, but ammo causes more gun probs. than the gun itself. If you want to gain real confidence, look into reloading your own ammo. You are in control of your ammo and, if you do your job, you KNOW it's right, . A common problem with the smaller reloaders is that demand for cheap ammo quickly outstrips a 1-2 man operation and inexperienced "help" gets hired and quality suffers. I'd guess that you ended up with a round that was overcharged or had a bullet seated way too deep, causing a pressure spike. As in riding horses, the only cure is to get back in the saddle. I'm not a Glock fan, but the issue you had is not the gun, it's an ammo issue.
