Glock model 22, .40 cal

A few problems on this police department with their Glock 22's.

"We had experienced a number of issues on the range with our issued Glock model 22, .40 caliber duty pistol magazines, which represents 45 percent of our issued weapons," said Flynn in the memo."

Stovepiping?

I'm a little curious about how a magazine could induce stovepiping - I suppose if they were high and interfered with the slide, but that seems a little far-fetched. Maybe I'm just ignorant.
I don't have a G22, tho I do have a 23 and several others in other calibers, and the only time I can recall stovepipes was with my 45 ACPs when shooting Wolf and the gun was particularly dirty. My old Gen 2 G21 does light strikes once in a (great) while - if I was carrying it for social purposes, that would concern me, but I don't.

I've never seen a Glock stovepipe due to a magazine problem. Limp-wristing one will certainly do that though.
