Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between a Glock jam and an empty magazine?

A Glock jam is a malfunction where a round fails to feed or eject properly, requiring specific clearing steps. An empty magazine causes a 'slide lock,' where the slide stays open because there are no more rounds to chamber. This video shows how to identify the latter.

How do you clear a Glock 43X after an empty magazine?

After firing the last round, the slide will lock to the rear. To clear, remove the empty magazine, insert a fresh one, and release the slide. The firearm is then ready to fire again. This is not a jam.

What safety precautions should be taken when clearing a firearm?

Always keep your finger off the trigger and the muzzle pointed in a safe direction. Visually and physically inspect the chamber to confirm it is empty before any manipulation. This ensures you are not dealing with a live round or a true malfunction.

What is the capacity of a Glock 43X?

The Glock 43X, chambered in 9mm Luger, typically has a standard magazine capacity of 10+1 rounds. This means it can hold 10 rounds in the magazine and one round in the chamber.
