There is no oil or grease on the recoil pin. Guess the flashmakes it aappear that way. Also, only way im putting a loaded mag in is with the slide off or when im ready to shoot.

Okay. I'm a Glock certified armorer and I see nothing wrong in your photos. I would only use the Glock Magazines. My best guess is either too much oil or not enough oil I can't imagine a Glock coming from the factory with issues. Their quality control is very good.

Give it a good cleaning and oil (just a few drops for the 7 contact points that involve the slide and barrel) and try different ammo in your Glock mags, only.

One thing is certain is that Glocks do not operate well with too much oil on them. I recently attended a shooting school where I shot the same Glock 23 for two weeks and it was not cleaned one time. I shot thousands of rounds in very difficult conditions and not one failure to feed. It was filthy dirty when they finally had us break them down to clean them.
