Yes that’s what I was referring to.
A bee was placed in my bonnet about that and I didn’t want to send a gen 3 or 4 slide for milling if it was going to bounce brass into my glass ... I did many searches to look for reports of that specific problem, but uncovered no reports of such a thing, not to say that it doesn’t happen possibly, but not enough to get people to noticeably complain about it.
I did find a YouTube review of an early Gen 5 with very weak ejection, mostly with Blazer Brass, that would eject straight back along the slide and hit the shooters arms, the trajectory very suspicious for potential glass hits if an rds was present. I wondered if this is why Glock modded the breech on Gen5 MOS’s.
Part of me wants to ignore the fear that Gen 3’s especially would suffer from that problem, because I was inclined to convert a Gen 3 for RDS. However, I think I’ll take the opportunity to sell/trade a Gen3 G19 and Gen3, or 4, 17 for their Gen5 counterparts, with the serrations and the breech mod, and have the Gen 5s milled, for extra functional insurance as it were.
Actually out of the Gen 3 & 4 G17, which would you fellers keep, I’m very curious to know? I’m inclined to keep the Gen 3 because I have a ton of spare parts for the 3’s, but I’m conflicted regarding which one to replace!
