I have a Glock 42 that I've been shooting pretty heavily for a year now. I have about 2k to 4k rounds through it. Recently it started choking up, mostly the slide locking back when the magazine was not empty (this is with the '03' marked mags that have worked fine for the past year), but occasionally it would cycle and a round would chamber just fine but the trigger would not reset.
I changed the recoil spring assembly (which I've read needs to be done sooner on these smaller guns than on duty size guns) and gave it a good lube and put about 200 rounds though it. It worked a lot better but I still had one time when the gun fired, cycled and ejected the casing just fine and loaded a fresh round but the trigger didn't reset. This happened with steel ammo which is typically less reliable than brass in my 42 but I still can't imagine what malfunction could cycle everything but not reset the trigger. I have a ghost connector and some springs in it but on my next outing I am going to change those back to stock and try to get through another 200 rounds.
Are there other parts of a G42 I need to be changing out every ~4k rounds? Is it possible I am over-shooting this gun? I'll frequently load up magazines and fire 50 rounds over a few minutes before loading them all up and doing it again. Lots of dryfire practice too.
