Hi, I know there have been reported issues with the 3rd gen .40 G22's with a weapon light. I would like to pick up a used one for night stand duty with a light, should I steer clear of a gen 3 or take my chances? Does the gen4 totally solve this issue? Thanks

| I wanted to know about this so instead of starting another thread; what is the issue with lights on Glocks? I own a 17, 21, 30 and 35w/9mm conversion barrel. All gen 3. I currently have an insight M3 and will probably be buying a TLR1S some day. What models have a problem, what is the problem and with what lights? |
| I've experienced no issues with Gen3 G22, G35 and G23 (x4 of them) with TLR-1 and X300 attached. This without overtightening the TLR-1 and with mags with "1" or "2" on the back and #8 or #9 followers. Apparently the updated mags and non-overtightened light still does not solve the issue on a select few Gen3s, so test your weapon. From what I've heard (not experienced), the Gen4s are good to go. |

If you have the money, buy a gen 4 G22 with confidence. I have two gen 3 G22s, both work fine with a light but there were problems reported with certain lights. First post. The only one I've seen in real life with the problem, only had it with Blazer aluminum....but still, it shook my confidence in it. Go Gen4. |
