WWB ammo

[gs50401]

My 23 eats anything but Winchester White Box ammo gives me misfires. I put a 6 lb. striker spring in it and it is still happening.
Wolf or anything else works great. I bought some boxes and got around to using them a couple of weeks ago.
It happens about 4or 5 times per box of 100.

Does anyone else have the same issue?

It happens with the stock spring?
I use .40 WWB FMJ/JHP in my 10mm conversions with no issues.
Have you detail stripped the slide to see if there is some crud in the striker channel?

[gs50401]

Both with a standard and a wolf 6lb. striker spring.  I used windex to clean out the firing sprig channel now. It has not been shot since the windex treatment.  There  were a few particles in there.

[HAMMERHEAD]

You use the windex with all the parts removed?

[gs50401]

Yes.

  I know its a little late but i practice with wwb ammo in both of my handguns.  My g26 has no troubles feeding or firing this ammo.  how much of it have you fired through your pistol?  what im wondering is if its possible that you just came across a bad box of ammo.  - steve

Rarely do my guns see factory ammo, but  Winchester primers are my first choice for pistol ammo in my reloads. I have fired tens of thousands of them over the years with no issues I can recall. If an oily striker channel is not your problem, check your striker cups/ channel liner, and the striker it's self for burrs/damage/ proper seating. While you're at it check the firing pin hole in the breach face for damage/burrs. Good luck, I'm sure you'll get the problem corrected.

Thanks for the help. It has been very hot , so a trip to the range has been on hold for a while.
I will report back on my results.

WWB ammo was a little tight in my LW barrel.  I sent it in and they corrected it.

Old thread, but I'll add:  Stop using an acerbic acid like Windex on your Glock and especially inside your slide!  If you're using a 6# striker spring then it's, also, a good idea to use a 6# trigger spring too.  (Better trigger pull!) 
 
Your slide channels should be thoroughly cleaned out with Q-Tips and some sort of CLP solution at between 1,200 and 1,500 round intervals.  Just before you finish cleaning run a few dry Q-Tips around everywhere inside the slide.
 
It ain't your Glock; it's the crappy filthy dirty WWB.  The FTF rates you quote are all too typical for this kind of cheap target-quality ammo.  If you can get your hands on Blazer Alumium I'd suggest you try some.  Fewer FTF's and they feed like slick glass.  Glock pistols seem to love alumium cases!

Both my Glocks shoot anything and I mean anything you put in them. Never had a single misfire, jam or anything but BANG, BANG, BANG, BANG ETC.

You could have gotten some bad ammo though. I help teach the TN handgun carry permit class and we use Ruger MKII 22lr pistols to teach people how to shoot. We have gotten some very bad lots of ammo from Rem, Win and CCI Blazer. I think with them running everything at full tilt to supply the panic demand their quality control has suffered.
