As an accused Glock fanboy this might be a little painful.
When shooting this last weekend I experienced a stovepipe in my Gen 4 G26. I was shooting rapid fire with a 33 round mag. Just over half way through the mag I had a phase 3 stovepipe. I think that's what they have been calling them. It's been a problem with the G19's for a little while. It fails to eject the round all the way and the slide closes on the casing while it is still horizontal. Slingshot the slide and it's clear and dumps the spent casing along with the round that was being chambered out on the ground. Believe it or not I have it on video it's not a very close up shot but it shows the round clearly not being ejected properly. http://youtu.be/K8huRdvJ7k4
The other issue was was a trigger problem. This was experience by a friend of mine as he was shooting my G26. The trigger had no take up and seemed to have a hitch in the pull. He has several Glocks and said it just wasn't right.
I called Glock this morning and they asked me to send in the gun. Glocks CS is so great. I called and talked to a live person right away. They sent me over to Tech support. He was very helpful and said they would replace the ejector and look at the trigger bar. They offered to send the parts to a Glock armor but I said I would like to find out what was wrong and then have it fixed. He agreed and was glad that they will have the opportunity to check it out.
I think I'll have them install some tritium sights on it too while it's there. $70 with a 10 year warranty is not a bad deal at all.
Please don't harass me with how your gun it better or Gen 4's suck. This is just an informational post. If you would like to hear my up dates or have had experience with these issues please participate.
