CHAPTER 8

MALFUNCTIONS

Malfunctions are a critical training block and are rather simple and straightforward with the Glock pistol. The design and extreme reliability of the pistol make it simple and easily for training. There are two general categories of malfunctions, and those are ones remedied by immediate action (this will include clearing a stovepipe) and those remedied by remedial action. For reference, here is a definition of each:

IMMEDIATE ACTION

Action taken immediately up recognizing the pistol did not fire when the trigger was pulled. It is designed for the simplest types of stoppage (failure to feed from the magazine, failure of the shooter to seat a magazine properly, dud round, or stovepipe) and generally one or two extremely fast actions that can get the weapon operational again.

TAP, RACK, BANG

(FOR REASONS OF LIABILITY IN LAW ENFORCEMENT IT IS CALLED TAP-RACK-READY):

1. Tap the bottom of the magazine to ensure it is properly seated, Figures 8-1a.

2. Rotate the pistol just over 90 degrees towards the non-firing side to ensure a stoppage can fall free, Then rack the slide to the rear and attempt to fire, Figures 8-1b – 8-1e.

3. If this fails then go to remedial action.
