Beware of my temper, and the dog that I've found...
It's not even fair
Last time there the tech pressed me if I had any mags. Well yeah just these 5 beat to hell range mags of years abuse.
He takes them and explains later he had replaced/upgraded everything but the baseplates. New mag bodies too because they were so tore up.
Just sayin

So M stands for "scoff" now?
This has been an interesting read.
I am not surprised that this happened. I switched to the G22, for police duty carry, in 2002, and soon experienced the drama of Glock denying the obvious. The work-around of heavier magazine springs made my Glocks sufficiently trustworthy, but, yet again, I found myself wishing I had just grandfathered my .357 duty revolvers in 1997. (We standardized on .40, in specified pistols, in 1997.)
Notably, the problem was NOT just when using WMLs on the rail. One of my three G22 pistols was unreliable even without a WML in place, until I installed the heavier mag springs.
I switched to a P229 in 2004, for better accuracy. I do not, however, hate Glocks, and switched back to Glocks, though in 9mm this time, for personal-time carry in 2012, and for duty in 2015, when my chief approved the change, because .40 recoil, combined with the high SIG bore axis, was starting to torture my right wrist.
FWIW, the finger groove spacing of the Gen4 G19 is actually quite good for my hands, better than the G17, Gen3 or Gen4.
Anyway, I hope the problems with the M can be made right. The ambidextrous slide stop would be handy, to expedite left-handed administrative handling of the weapon.
