| Are current production gen 4 good to go or are there still issues with them? |

It's hit or miss, OP. No misses here. I've got a Gen4 22, 23, 27, and 34 and they've all been good so far. Admittedly, I live close to Glock so I've taken all of my Glocks to them for tune-ups. It's possible they fixed any issues with updated parts before they occurred. -bob |

I bought my second one today. Spent shell casing is 4-11-13. Hope it runs as good as the one I bought earlier this year. It's hit or miss, OP. It's also not just a Gen 4 issue. The misinformation has gone viral on this topic. I don't know that its really misinformation as much as a lack of consistency. In the armorer's course they said only 2 or 3% of guns are coming back with these problems. I would interpret that as likely double that number, and probably 10 times that number of people actually having problems and not going through with sending it in, just bitching about it on the internet. |

I was really talking more about people saying only the Gen 4's have issues. the current issues are in both Gen 3 and Gen 4 guns. |

My Gen 4 G22 runs like a top, but the Gen 4 design is more friendly to the hotter cartridges. When I was breaking in my Gen 4 G34 the other day my buddy seemed to be having weak ejection and failure to lock the slide on the last round... but I didn't have these problems so I assume he was limp wristing and possibly activating the extended slide release with his thumb. Seems that the Gen 4's do like hotter ammo than their predecessors as a general thing. |
