It's a Glock...
And it's a Glock 19... Of course it's g2g. What kind of question is that? |

I can only speak about mine, and I've only had it [ETA - almost 2 years - time flies I guess] but so far it has been flawless. I like it a lot more than the Gen 2 G23 I had previously.

IN!
Good questing just got my gssf card and the gen 4 is the planed purchase but I'm hesitant. What about Mag compatibility? I don't care about the Ambidextrous mag release. Or do I just keep stacking up 34s? |

It seems as if the teething issues that started late Gen3 and early Gen4 have kind of gone away. I've heard nothing but good from folks that go buy a new one these days. |

There's good reasons behind why the 19 is Glock highest selling model.

Anything 15 rd or bigger should work fine. |

IMO, Gen 4 Glock 19 is the best Glock ever made.
You won't be disappointed with a Gen 4 G19. |

I have a Gen 3 and Gen 4. The only time the Gen 4 has hiccuped is when someone was limp wristing it. It seems that it is sprung a little tighter than the Gen 3 so you may want to give it a little time to break in.
Two friends have them and shoot regularly and their's have been excellent. |

The OP was asking about Gen4s, though, and I agree with TargetBlaster in that the OP won't be disappointed with a Gen4. I'm a fairly recent convert from Gen3 to Gen4 and am really liking the slightly smaller grip circumference, new grip texture, and larger mag release. |

Mine has been flawless in terms of reliability, though it's started to throw brass at me once in a while. Due for a new recoil spring.

The beaver tail grip panel is outstanding! The finger grooves force me into a high, tight grip, but it also causes my slide serrations to get bloody, but the beaver tail solves that. All grip, no blood.

The "Glock perfection" today is just not the same today as it was 10 years ago, which is a shame. I'd still recommend a G19, but you just need to keep an eye out for potential issues. |

This, I've had erratic extraction problems on enough 9mm Glocks to just go ahead and factor those into the cost when buying one. Other than that they are perfect. |

The spring was replaced right before I bought the gun, but the ejector wasn't fixed until several months later. That was several months of brass to the face that really turned me off of Glocks. Especially considering that it was my first pistol. If you buy a current Gen4, the issues will have all been fixed. Although for what it's worth, I'm all Gen3 now. |

I put lots of time in on the G29 with reliable and consistent extraction even with full power Underwood loadings then moved to a 2015 G19 and a 2011 G26 and had brass to the face and weak extraction with WWB on both. Replaced the extractor with an Apex Tactical FRE and problems went away. Not sure how an extractor can fix weak wrist issues. But a slide out extractor that is out of spec can definitely be fixed with correct parts. |

There's definitely a run in there that chucks brass at your face, and not from limp wristing. |

None of the men I shoot with have experienced this problem either with their Gen 3's or 4's I doubt it, but maybe my friends and I all magically recieved unaffected Gen 4 Glocks. |

You have been fortunate enough to receive unaffected Glocks, but it doesn't mean that the issue is imaginary, because it isn't. Plenty of competent shooters have ejection issues with recent Glocks. It's very well documented, and fortunately it's usually fixable, though it does involve aftermarket parts which is a ding against Glock IMO. |

I love my G19G4. My girl had "some" issues with BTF with WW white box (which I expected in that the G4's were built with the dual recoil spring (RSA) to handle hotter loads.). Seems to be running fine now.
