Does any one know when the gen3s started having problems? i just picked up a 19 from 2010.
thanks for any info stuck |
| I thought I had posted in a thread about that a few months ago but I couldn't find it. My Gen 3 RTF2 G17 has a date of Feb. 2010 and I haven't had any problems with it. A couple of cases hit my wife on the forearm when she was shooting it but I haven't noticed anything more than that. |

Quoted:
Started withn "M" prefix. And not coincidentily about the time of the rollout of the Gen 4. My theory is they are deficately related. Some of the M prefix Glocks have had problems. The majority having ejection problems are P, Q, R, and S prefix. A member here had a gun with SUX prefix that displayed the problem. My SAK (as in sack of shit) prefix had problems until installing the 30274 ejector. Ejection is better but still really weak. I guess I'll look at the serial more carefully next time I buy a new handgun

I have a Gen 3 G17 with "SEY xxx"
It came with the extractor with the dip. I got brass ejected straight back at me a little too often. Luckily, I had a couple extractors on hand, with no "dip," and it instantly solved the issue. The pistol is probably over 3000 rounds or so, all with zero malfunctions. It just had a shitty extractor in it for a very short while. |
