I agree.. In terms of shooting for me the Glock G19Gen4 is perfect. The parts that can actually rust are cheap and easy to replace. They are so easy to detail strip and work on I don't worry about them as much as say a 1911 or Sig. Although Sigs are also pretty simple to work on relative to 1911s.

 

I shoot my 226 the best. 228/229 I don't shoot them as well and I think it has to be the sight radius. I haven't shot my X6 yet lol.. It's not really a safe queen but I just bought too many handguns and don't have enough time to shoot them haha. I have shot my P210-6 and 229 Sport and I actually do better with my 226 and G19. Both the P210 and 229 Sport have amazing triggers that rival the best 1911s.

 

I would love to try out the M&P, I heard people saying great things about them. I wanted to get a M&P 9 Pro but never got one because the stupid mag capacity limit in NJ.

I'll PM you. don't wanna sidetrack the thread anymore. lol

Just pointing out the obvious.

 

Like I said , any gun can go bad, yes, any gun can kb with user error. My whole point with any Glock Block joke is to keep reality in check. A glock is a good handgun, but not some be all gun.

 

They work for some, but not for others. For me....

 

The ergonomics are junk,

The trigger is mush,

And not astheatically pleasing.

 

As a reloader it bothers me that the chamber is not fully supported, and 40 cal brass gets over worked.

 

Even though people should not be stupid and make sure the gun is clear, I hate pulling the trigger to clean the gun.

 

And most of all, listening to all the kool aide.

 

I never saw that as an issue... seems simple enough: drop the mag, rack the slide a few time, visually inspect, pull trigger to disassemble. Cartridges don't magically materialize in the chamber... but if they did, then that would be one hell of an awesome feature and would sure cut down on my ammo costs.

so u never dry fire ur gun for practice or anything? i agree with devs advocate if you are safe and check that there's no mag and rack the pistol a few times to be ultra sure than there is no room for an accident unless ur a contaminant to our gene pool lol. i know i have practiced plenty of times with dry firing and im sure all of us have to dry firing a gun to disassemble is almost a moot point

Sorta OT but...what exactly happened to that USP? Is there a thread on it somewhere?

Found it after a quick search. Seems like the ammo was loaded to unsafe specs. Lesson learned - Do not use other people's handloads.

Interesting thread....

 

I have a Gen4 G23, Gen2 G19, Gen3 G19 (bought in early 2010), Gen3 G26 and Gen2 G17.

 

I have about 825 rounds or so on the G4 G23 w/ zero issues. Right now, I would be hesitant to get a Gen4 G19 w/out the understanding that there may be issues w/ possible parts replacement. I've replaced the trigger bar w/ a G17 Gen3 unit w/ new tab for the trigger spring and polished the internals, along w/ Mep's night sights. I LOVE the slightly smaller grip frame, new texture and the "feel" of the pistol. By that I mean, it feels more precise in all its actions...trigger pull, slide movement, shooting it, etc. I wish the G4 G19's were up to snuff as I would already have one. Seriously contemplating a Gen4 G22 and G21 for the next additions to the Glock family. BTW, my favorite and oldest of my collection is the Gen2 G19. Mine had the slide replaced since I blew out the breach area from thousands of dry fire repetitions w/out snap caps. It also has the Gen3 G17 smooth faced trigger and polished internals and has Trijicon NS's. Actually, all my Glocks now have the Gen3 G17 trigger bar w/ polished internals. I also, just barely shave down the trigger safety to be more flush w/ the trigger face when pulled.

 

Someone mentioned that the only differences between the Gen4 and previous are the new grip frame and dual recoil spring. Not true.

 

The G4's have a different barrel, slide, ejector, extractor, trigger bar, mag release and take down spring (there may be more parts, just can't think of them).... in addition to the aforementioned. I do not know if a Gen4 upper will work on a pre Gen4 lower.

 

Someone mentioned the mushy trigger. All personal taste I guess, but I LOVE the triggers on my Glocks. Once learned, they are fantastic. Do they have the finesse of finely tuned 1911 trigger? No, but nothing else does either. They have excellent reset, a distinct and predictable break and can be made to feel better w/ the G17 smooth faced trigger. Not to say they are the best trigger available in a pistol, but again, once learned, they are very effective. I've tried the earlier version of the Lone Wolf 3.5 connector, as well as the Glock 4.5 connector (formerly 3.5 connector) and went back to the stock connector in all instances.

 

Someone mentioned the bad ergo's. Purely subjective. I like the ergos. I also like the relatively blocky feel of the grip as it allows me excellent purchase to pull the grip into my palm in a very repeatable way. Conversely, I do not like the rounded grip of the M&P as I feel I have a hard time getting a consistent grip on it.

called glock today it was mailed out this morning should arrive by monday. i asked about the extra mag he said hes not sure if they sent one out and i said if it didnt come with it how would i go about trying to receive one, the tech guy said i would have to call back and speak to his manager when i receive my pistol back. so well see what happens on monday

ok sorry for the late update.

i received my glock back yesterday morning with the new ejector which is noticeably more bet and angled than the other.

it came in a hard glock box but no mag. so i called glock and asked if they would send me an extra mag and they said that they would send one out to me for having to send the gun in for repairs .

so i got a new glock box and im getting another mag

here is the pic of the new ejector

 

this isnt my gun but heres a pic of the older ejector

hopefully this solves the issues.

hopefully

sorry for the late update went out shooting saturday and it functioned perfectly no FTE's

Good to hear man. If I got another Glock it'd be a Gen 4. Despite

them having some issues I see that they do get resolved or have

been resolved quickly with no issues thereafter. I like the Gen 4

looks and feel better.
