I shot about 250 rounds through Gen5 17 today. I found the extraction a little weird, every so many rounds it would toss brass over my head other than that pretty strong to 4 o'clock. I was able to shoot it as well as my VP with zero effort, I ran in out of a GLS I had in my range bag with a timer. The trigger was excellent on the sample I shot and the accuracy at 25 was dare I say awesome. The Gen 5 is going to be a real winner if they aren't plagued by extraction issues like the Gen 4 pistols.

Much to the dismay of the Beretta, Sig and HK TDA's in my safe...I started carrying my G17 today. I've got enough confidence in both it and my comfort with it is high enough, even sans a SCD, to assume the role of primary carry (though I will add a SCD as soon as they are available). My shooting partner, who is also a Beretta whore, had high things to say about the G5 and how it shot today. Really hope to be 1,000 rounds in by the weekend.
Shoot more, post less...
Interested in your findings! Seems like the percentage of proper brass chucking is pretty high. But I have seen a few who said it can be erratic. If it shoots what I carry and usually practice with I do not know how much it would bother me though.

I had an interesting observation last week when I had to do a demo shoot for about 35 people who had never shot before or were very inexperienced shooters. We used a couple brand new/never been fired 19M's for the demo, and let them put about 10 rounds through each, one on one with an instructor. I saw several instances of bad ejection where the casings dribbled out or went back over the shooters shoulder. One casing hit a female shooter in the shoulder and she asked if it was supposed to do that. After the demo, I put a few hundred rounds through both guns and all of the ejection was perfectly consistent to my right. I tried SHO and WHO shooting as well and still had perfect ejection. I wonder how much recoil control/technique plays in erratic ejection?
