Who has round counts and can offer how many rounds through their Gen 5 and how many issues, regardless of whether you think it is a particular magazine, magazine size or ammo type. My wife and I each have one but frankly the vast majority of our 26 rounds are Gen 3/4, and I assumed the G5 pistols were reliable and never went about testing that.
What is interesting is that I have heard of trigger degrading issues with the entire Gen 5 series, but otherwise haven’t heard much chatter on reliability issues.
