Glock Gen 4 problems?

[stonecutter2]

No problems with my new gen4 19, have 175 rounds through it.

Winchester NATO and WWB both fed perfectly fine through it.

It has the 03 spring in it.

I see that the last post re the Gen4 issues was made in October 2010. Now it's July 2011 and I'm wondering if there is any improvement overall with the Glock 19 Gen4. Has Glock made any improvements or adjustments? I'm considering purchasing a Glock 19 Gen 4 (I have a Glock 19 that I purchased in 1994 - it's fine but I want a Glock upgrade!) but I see more comments on problems than that the 19 Gen4 is finally okay.

Disregard previous thread

My previous post above can be ignored. I just found a more current thread on the subject.

glock now has a 4th updated recoil assembly for the gen4 19. it's the "0-4-2" spring. supposedly this is the one to fix all probs. too new to say for sure. i've only read a couple reviews on it, but they've been positive.

I have an early Gen 4 19 that had a few 115 (reload) failures in the first hundred rounds. Switched to the 124 loads I use in my 9mm Kimber and had zero failures for over 1k rounds. Just ran some of the old 115's through and they fed fine. Put in the new spring and couldn't tell the difference between it and the 1K plus spring.

Glocks have always worked. Why do they feel the need to change something that works?:banghead:

Just yesterday I passed 1,100 rounds through my Gen4 19; the last 300 or so with the replacement 043 RSA. Can't tell one whit of difference with the new spring but all 1,100 have functioned the gun flawlessly.

Glock Miserable Ciustomer Service

Yes Glock has gotten fat and is slipping up all over the place. My Glock 29 had one of the defective transfer bars "4256-1", causing failure to fire. Called Glock twice about it put on hold forever. Options are shipping it back for about 40 dollars or do it myself for 20 dollars. Bottom line is no warranty unless you pay money. So on second call I asked if they would at least send me the part so that a Glock armorer at next gun show could put it in.... NOPE. Cheap a__es won't even send you a 10 dollar part to fix their defects. So I asked for a list of Glock Armorers who I might be able to take it to, or have them get the part....NOPE! GLOCK DOESN"T EVEN KNOW WHO IS A GLOCK ARMORER... That doesn't even make sense! ....Uhhh how do they know who they can ship a part to because they are Glock armorers if they don't even know who the Glock Armorer's are??? More likely, they just won't tell you so they can save 10 dollars having you go buy the part yourself and put it in. Ok... I'll beat them yet, I found a Glock armorer. But let me guess... Glock probably won't pay them for the time to fix it even if they will send him the part. Geeeezz : (
I have had MUCH better customer support from Taurus and they WILL send me a part if it is defective. Taurus has had quality control issues lately too (like Glock, and yes they've had many). But at least Taurus doesn't cheap out on fixing it or even sending a cheap part... : (
Ok, no more Glocks for me.
