"Reliable as a Glock," huh? How does that saying go? Makes me love my P30 that much more.
Yeah, me too. I was back and forth on buying a G3 19 or a G4 19, decided to go with the G3 to keep the same grip style as my G3 34.
I'd also heard of a few people having problems with the Gen 4. Seems there's certainly something wrong with the test gun (or Todd has developed a huge grip issue overnight, which seems pretty unlikely).
My Gen 4 19s have been running quite well, no regrets here.
You don't know what he was doing all night. Could've worn himself out...I'd also heard of a few people having problems with the Gen 4. Seems there's certainly something wrong with the test gun (or Todd has developed a huge grip issue overnight, which seems pretty unlikely
I see Sumatra.
So...do we know what kind of stopages yet?
I'll post photos and descriptions on my site tonight.
After lunch, I had another shooter (who owns a G17 gen4 himself and has ~1k rounds through it without a single problem) give my gun a try. On his 144th round, he had a similar malfunction. So that's five malfunctions in 542 rounds.
I am not amused.
I've already called Glock and told them to switch the G17 gen4 they owe me (to replace the G19 gen4 that crapped out earlier this year) to a gen3. Not sure exactly what I'm going to do about the new (store bought) G17 gen4 that crashed & burned today.
Sad, too. It was awesomely accurate.
I guess you have another gun to add to A different take on reliability - Guns you've personally seen fail .
It seems like Glock is trying to follow Sig's recent business model. I'm 99% Glock but my experience with the Gen 4's, others experience I trust and my new Gen 3 26 has me thinking I'll refrain from any new Glocks for awhile due to being hit or miss.
Walther PPQ now maybe?
