I am having a problem with my Walther GSP .32.
It had four or five misfeeds/jams during a 100 rounds shooting session.
I noticed that it happened in the third round (I don't think it was a coincidence).
So, with the magazine fully loaded with 5 rounds, it shot two rounds, and the third round stopped (jam) just before getting inside the chamber.
The top of the bullet goes up and hits the chamber's entrance (at 12 or 11 o'clock).
Than, pulling the slide, the jammed round goes off the pistol, and it normally shoots the last two rounds.
This happened with Lapua ammo (factory made) and reloaded ammo.
Some guys said it may be a problem with the magazine.
Other sait that this pistol has very limited tolerances in measures, to be accurate, so that the ammo has to respect those tolerances. Well, it is true, but it also happened with Lapua...
Someone said it could be a problem with the GSP project.
Any clues?
Tks.

I don't know if it's the cause of your problem but when I had a .32 GSP the only feeding problems were caused by a sticking firing pin.
The back of the firing pin had become peened over from being hit by the hammer. This caused it to stick forward in the slot, stopping the next round in the chamber from rising properly. Just cleaning up the back edges of the firing pin with a fine file solved the problem.
It could also be a broken firing pin.

Mine was cured by adjusting the overall length of the loaded rounds. There appears to be an overall length that causes problems - slightly longer or slightly shorter than the critical length and the problem goes away.

Check the chamber for crud. Mine will get a build-up of carbon that will slow things down enough to cause problems. Once clean, with a film of oil applied, it's right back to working perfectly.
Anytime a gun of mine acts up, the first thing I look at is it's cleanliness.
Walthers are notorious for taking a beating and keep on ticking. Just clean them once and a while, and they'll go forever.
