And so far I have the Midas touch for picking new Glocks off the gunstore shelf.
Now after this weekends experience 7-0 for Gen 4 9mms that run and 3-0 for picking recent prod Gen 3 9mms that run.
“Run” meaning they cycle including eject with a high degree of reliability ie not quite a handful of malfs in 30K rounds of so; and just 3 dings to the forehead all from one box of ammo.
So I should buy with confidence that if anything is wrong Glock will fix it without a fight?? Are these flaws more of the 1:10,000 mass production thing or like the M&P where the accuracy thing is more of a 1:whatever are actually accurate?
I have bought with confidence. You have to weigh everything you learn for yourself when it come to plunking down your cash. Glock does seem to be getting much better and getting problem guns sorted out from published anecdotes; on this forum included.
For my dollar, there is nothing worse than having a brand-new gun shit the bed. You know what two manufacturers are famous for what you describe? Kel-Tec and Taurus. You think Glock owners should be happy about that? If I want to gamble, I’ll play the lotto, not lay down several hundred dollars of my hard-earned money on something that is supposed to protect my life and my loved ones.
The only reason I bought my ugly-ass, horrible feeling, horrible trigger Glock 19 is because it was accurate enough, fairly indestructible and doesn’t malf.
To your other point, there is such a backlash among a minority shooters that people are starting to flaunt their gen 2 pistols – not because they hate the finger nubs, but because they are so far removed from the current abortion.
Many of us are still running our Gen 2 Glocks because they just flat out run. They were the guns that built the Glock reputation.
Glock has gotten to be a little like SIG…want a good one?..buy an older one.

Ain’t that the truth!
