I've finally decided that I want more information on an issue, and you Glock owners out there may be able to help me.

My carry weapon is a Glock 19 9mm, and the issue in question involves a loading proceedure.

When I load magazines into my pistols, I do not do it gingerly. I do it very stoutly. I don't SLAM them in, but if I got a piece of skin between the floorplate and the magwell, a few layers are probably comming off (not often). It is how I was trained to ensure proper magazine seating, and I believe that the muscle memory helps me in hi-stress situations.

Now the main question. When I load a magazine with the slide in lock-back position on my 19, with the force that I load the weapon, it causes the slide-stop to disengage; chambering a round. No slide release lever, no sling-shoting: Insert-aim-fire. I can and do make this happen reliably with my weapon and have never seen a problem with it. There is no damage to my pistol or the magazines I use because of this, and I can choose whether or not I want the slide to come forward by how hard I insert the mag with the heel of my hand.

Is this technically a malfunction?
And to you Glock owners out there with factory slide-release levers, go ahead and give it a try. If you're inside, you may want to use snap-caps in the magazine.
Can you get it to work?

All things considered, I prefer to have the option of doing it this way. It feels to me like slapping the bolt-release on an AR platform after loading, and I don't have to worry about my fine motor skills durring a stress-reload. Now I don't always do it this way, but I'd say 85-90% of the time I do. My prefered alternative is to insert and slide-release.

Thoughts?
