Yes, Super Face! Heard of it, now I have experienced it. I have stopped using that bullet/powder combination, no loss, inaccurate anyway. Surprisingly inconsistent accuracy with that load. I was using it up for short range stages because past 20 yards things opened up considerably. Now it's gone and my new load, although having more recoil, is much, much better accuracy wise and I suspect safer using a much slower burning powder.Originally Posted by Greg
Finally, I own a Glock that can pass the 2,000 Round Challenge... After attempting it several times with my Gen3 19 and not getting passed 900 rounds, the Gen5 just ran through it with the following results:
Stoppages: 0
Malfunctions: 0
Breakages: 0
The ammo was a variety of Blazer, Federal Aluminum (mostly), and a handful of Critical Duties (which I don't carry anymore) through a variety of mags including OEM, ETS, and P-Mags (the majority of those were P-Mags). Before starting the challenge, I had a few stoppages which were a result of user error. The pistol held open prematurely which was caused by me pressing up on the slide stop with a less-than-ideal grip. Other than that, this thing has been absolutely flawless. As I'm sure others have mentioned, the wear in places where the slide contacts the barrel appears to be greater than that of previous generations due to the hardness of the new finish.

The gun was taken out of the box, given a few drops of Lucas Extreme Gun Oil down each slide rail and one each on the chamber hood and muzzle end of the barrel. VZ Grips were added partway through the test and are a dramatic improvement over the janky factory plastic ones which are somehow too sharp and too slippery at the same time.

It took a while for this gun to grow on me and we had a slow start to the test. I have been carrying it primarily as a running gun and it has been frequently covered in sweat.
Stoppages:
One short stroke with Brown Bear early on.
One failure to feed 147 HST around round 700, unsure of cause. Last round in mag and that mag had been in the gun at least six months.
One fail to lock back with Magtech. Either weak round or my thumb.
I dismantled it completely and cleaned it after the test. It was hardly needed. Minimal dirt and really dry, not that it cared about being dry. Re assembled and lubed wit five drops of oil.
I am impressed with the gun. I shot my first clean 5 yd Dot tortures with it. The only thing I dislike is it runs out of ammo fast.
It has a purpose and would be one of three guns I would keep if limited to that number.

Good to see the 43 going through the paces. I feel the same way, god forbid it ever came down to “only 3”.
Glock G5 19 with FBI sights, total rounds 2170.
American Eagle 124gr fmj 650 rounds.
Blazer Brass 124gr fmj 600 rounds.
Winchester 115gr fmj white box 300 rounds.
Monarch 115gr fmj steel case 150 rounds.
Winchester 124gr fmj Nato 100 rounds.
Monarch 145gr fmj steel case 100rounds.
Monarch 115gr fmj brass case 100 rounds.
Aguila 115gr fmj brass case 50 rounds.
Remington 115gr brass case UMC junk 50 rounds. 1 stoppage due to failure to extract.
Winchester 124gr Hollow Point 20 rounds.
Browning 147gr fmj brass case 50rounds.
Stoppage 1
Malfunction 0
Stoppage 0
The last 100 rounds were mag dumps trying to induce a stoppage from heat or rapid fire.
But no issues from mag dumps.
Over all seems like a solid gun and enjoy shooting it. I have almost 3000 rounds through the gun with a lot of junky ammo with one stoppage, so i am happy with it.
If i see anything wrong when i do clean it i will report it to you guys.
