I want to start by saying that I don't doubt anyone who has had problems with the Gen4 guns and newer Gen3 guns.
What I don't understand is how can some people have all kinds of issues, ejected rounds to the face, stovepipes, failures to return to battery, etc, while others have no problems at all.
I have a Gen3 19, test fire date 9/22/11, that I have only put 200 rounds through, but those rounds were flawless. After a few hundred more rounds it will replace my Gen2 19 as my duty/carry gun and I will trust my life to it.
And yet, reading through all the posts, guns produced at the same time have all kinds of problems. How is this possible? Is Glock's quality control that erratic? I'm confused.

Well, with a gun that new, you might have good parts in it. Some of the parts in some of the older guns seemed to be out of spec. It sounds like Glock might have had issues with extractor specs. Maybe some guns got good ones, and some were crappy. After all, they use many different molds to make parts. So, the extractor in my gun might have come from a bad mold, while yours came from a good mold. Also, remember lots of people had guns that ran perfectly for hundreds of rounds, then they started acting up. Hopefully, yours will remain perfect.

Your gun is new enough that it probably has the corrected parts installed.

I was talking with a glock armorer today and he said glock will replace any malfunction parts in the g4 but he did also say the g3 has been proven and the g4 needs some tweaking before it will be right...

I bought my first glock 19 Gen3 about 4 months ago, 800 round so far and no problems what so ever, great carry gun. Did a lot of research before I bought it, compaired the G4 vs G3. I think Glock tried to make the G4 a little better but it back fired on them. Why fix it if it's not broken.

Maybe I got lucky on my G19 G3, I'm very happy with it.
