Add another G19 or get G17

[PaiMei]

Not to derail but, I found a few rtf2 17's at my LGS. The fired casing packs were marked NOV 2010. Do these fall into the category of gen3's that Id be taking a chance with? Reason I ask is, the whole point of me getting one of these is to wait out the gen4 teething issues.

Yep. Do it. I believe it is 2011 is the problem year.

I have both. I shoot the 19 in GSSF and the 17 in IDPA. I shoot the 19 better at speed as I prefer the recoil impulse to that of the 17. I use the 17 in IDPA because the draws and reloads are a little easier with it.

I don't think there is a wrong answer to the question.

I'm on my 4th 9mm RTF2 specimen and haven't had a single gun-related malf out of any of them over LOTS of rounds through all of them (my most recent is a 19 prefix NZXxxx, January 2010, but I had a 17RTF2 that IIRC was Nov '10 too that was fine)... think they're a pretty safe bet.
