Like many of you I'm sure, I was surprised to learn about the Gen 4 9mm issues. That's why I waited it out for a couple years before buying another Glock 9mm. I've owned a G34 since 1999 and it's been flawless -- I can recall one malfunction and that was a failure to eject using cheap/weak ammo.
Last week I purchased a 19 with a test fire date of 7/31/12. Red label box with serial number TNVXXX. It has the new ejector and the 043 spring. I ran 150 rounds of ammo through it this morning at the range -- American Eagle 124, Blazers 147, UMC 115, and Federal HST 147 (my defense round). Not only were there no malfunctions, but the brass was tossed out uniformly and consistently to the right. Absolutely flawless. Moreover, the new 043 spring is pretty amazing in terms of the reduced recoil. This 19 feels as smooth and balanced as any gun I've shot.
You have no idea how happy and relieved I am -- not just for my own sake but for the sake of everyone who's come to rely on Glock, both law enforcement and citizens alike.
