I think you're right, Wayne. That last 100 rounds went through it like poop through a goose. If I can get back to the range next weekend, I'll heat it up with a couple hundred rounds. If it does act up, I'll take your advice and call Glock.

Chief, those Legions are slick as snot on a doorknob, aren't they? I love mine.

Yes Sir! It's my EDC.

Hope to order a new 19x today. I was told it may be until
June until I get it. Just sent my p320 compact .45 to SIG for the voluntary upgrade program. They are adding a lighter trigger, and fixing the sear and safety lever to prevent drop discharges. One other side note....if you buy the .45 acp P320 You can not interchange it with any other caliber. I tried to buy the modular 357 SIG kit for my p320 and found out the .45 platform is not interchangeable with the other calibers.

I put a TLR1 Streamlight on the rail of mine and it's my bedside gun.

Byrdguy,
I have a feeling that you will not be making that call to Glock. It is pretty well settled in and will chug right along.

I have a Model 36 after about a gazillion rounds had the slide lock lever spring break. A call to Glock and the following Monday I shipped it off via FedEx and that Friday it was back in my hands just like new. They also replaced the recoil spring as well. No charge!!!

Let us know how the second range session goes.

Pat,

My first range session with my out of the box G30 several years ago was disappointing to say the least. Was trying to feed several boxes of Federal 185Gr SWC Jacketed. I probably had at least 10 jams until I switched to 230 FMJ and from there never looked back. Later I found a blog related to my exact problem.

Yeah, I just grabbed three boxes of ammo as I was gathering my range bag and don't even know what I was shooting until fired the last box of 100. It was federal American Eagle 115 Gr. FMJ. No problems at all with that box. I think the gun is fine and will run like a Glock is supposed to from here on.

A lighter trigger! Might do mine, see if it is as good as my PPQ!
Good info, thanks.

My experience is mainly with the G36, G17, and G43. The full sized gun started to suffer in reliability when they flaired the port, and angled the extractor top corner.

That is only a visual cue, along with the LCI, where perhaps the mass of the exterior bump had to be balanced by shortening, and, more importantly, the extractor went from a substantial hook, to a shorter, less substantial, and dulled edges hook, and a MIM part from cast.

Swapping to the longer straight extractor, along with associated spring plunger plastic bits normally has any 9mm ticking they way they did, and should. You would think it would, what, ruin the looks, or something? But, unless you KNEW what one was supposed to look like or had two otherwise identical guns side by side, nobody would ever notice it. Mine had anemic extraction until the extractor swap, and now it is a manly man operating cycle and no longer wimps them towards the shooter's face.

A highly recommended "mod" of swapping one OEM part for another. The old extractors widely available, for now, so long as Glock still forced to support older gun contracts, which will expire soon, so get'm while the gettin's good. A colorized gun owner will have cosmetic challenges, for sure.

Glock addressed the problem, and not satisfactorily for many owners, by lengthening the ejector to try to make up for the extractor. Why? I dunno, but suspect the cheap stamped longer part a lot cheaper than a bunch of new MIM molds, perhaps changes in slide to match what was needed, etc. They invested heavily in the changes.

So far,after seeing MANY Glocks in use,I have yet to see any problems with them.

I did see problems come up when owners started to switch around parts and do "customizing" on the gun.

Just my experience.
