Glock gen 4 problems

[trlcavscout]

So I see a lot of people having eratic ejections, FTE etc with gen 4 17's and 19's mainly. Anyone have one that has the problem? I want one to see whats going on. All my gen 4's have been trouble free. And of course when you ask an arm chair expert if they tried something they get all up set and say that wouldnt help, wish one of mine would have acted up. Maybe my Glock 26 will do it?

The only problem i've had with my Gen 4 G19 was the slide not locking back after the last shot - but that was only when using some cheapo KCI mags. Haven't had an issue with the standard glock mags (same ammo), but 2 or 3 times the slide won't lock back on the last shot with the KCI's.

First mfg Gen 4's had recoil spring issues. Should be able to find multiple threads about it on Glock Talk. The issue has since been corrected.

No I guess more people are still having issues and the late model (still produced) gen 3/RTF's are exibiting issues also. They are blaming extractors now

I bought one of the first gen 4 Glock 17's available at Neves with no numbers on the recoil spring and it never had any issues. I am just curious if anyone local has had issues or if its all internet/user/ammo what ever problems. Most of the guys saying they have issues are useing WWB/FED/AE etc, I have trouble with WWB in any gun I try it in.

I've been researching the same thing all morning as I am interested in buying a gen4 Glock 19. Read on Glock talk that it was more so with the 17 than the 19 but I am still digging for more info. Updates also appreciated...

What is an eratic ejection? Sounds like a personal problem.

It was all I could do to make that an A They are saying the 19 also? I know a couple guys local that bought 19's and never complained about it? I guess I dont care where the brass falls as long as it exits the gun and goes somewhere? I did see one guy with a 26 complaining about it also so I had to go pay $50 for 2 boxes of shells and range time to make sure my new one ran fine today and sure enough not one problem, I only ran 111 rds though it and hate the sub compact but it didnt have any problems.

My new gen 4 26 does have the "dip" extractor they are saying is to blame?

EDIT: Hell come to think of it wouldnt it be really nice if it would shoot the brass straight up in front of you so it would land in your shooting bag while at the indoor range? No more bending over picking up brass

Isn't that what significant others are for? I think you're doing it wrong.

I have about 800rds thru my Gen 4 G19 all WWB and have only had 2 stovepipes. The first one happened in the first couple mags ran thru it and the second around 500rds. So far I'm pleased with it! Only complaint I have is I like the Gen 3 texturing better.

Interesting video and it's not even X rated either!


Humm.... maybe I should just stick to the big stick and get G21SF.
