Bought one about month ago. About 500 rounds thru it so far and not one problem. |

Bought my Gen4 23 back in May. It had a test fire date of 4/20/12. I'm over 500rds now without a single stoppage and I'm still waiting to get hit in the face with brass for the first time.

Really want to go shoot it tonight but other obligations are going to prevent that. |

The .40's were never affected in the first place, so its GTG

I have owned ten glocks in my lifetime and only had two of them malfunctioned. One was a Gen 3 Glock 23 and the other was a Gen 4 23. I'm sure it was just coincidence.

Ok update: The deal happened.
The terms were: Elijah1: One Frankenstein Stag arms ar15 that I had about $400 in by the time I traded stuff around. It did have a MOE handguard, and a CTR stock. My buddy at work: The Glock 23-4 NIB with storm lake barrel (and original), a Taurus .38sp revolver in 80%, AND $200. I then went to the local fun shop. I really had no use for a Taurus POS revolver. So I traded the wheel gun for a set of Tru-glo night sites, a Ghost rocket trigger bar, extended slide release and $100. So my new Glock is almost pimped out how I want it to be... and I have $300 in my pocket. Life is good. Here is the pic of the gun  |

I shoot a LOT with many people I have seen, in person 3 9mm glocks with BTF (brass to face) disease, consisting of (2) Gen4 19's and (1) Gen4 17 two of which I shot personally Every Gen3/4 .40 I have ever seen had a great ejection pattern, and I have never seen one on here Alot of airheads on internet forums will see that someone else has problems with their Glock, and immediately theirs is having problems too 
I would say someone had a stray case with the cheap ass Tula ammo in their .40 glock that had not been cleaned in 6 months... <shortly after> MY GLOCK IS A POS!!! F**KING MIM PARTS!!! OUT OF SPEC EXTRACTOR CHANNEL!!!! NEW EJECTOR!!! BLABLABLABLA!!!!!!!!

I don't shoot a lot of Tula. Usually S&B or at worse, blazer brass. I am not against the steel cased rounds, BUT they are filthy and typically do not simulate full power rounds used for self defense. |
