[@Mrwatson185]

Really grateful that you had those problems with your gen 4 glock 19s. What your channel became as a result has made the shooting community a much better place. Keep up the great work!

[@Mrgunsngear]

thank you; will do!

[@ReidHenrichs]

Yep. You covered it. Nice video.

[@christianmorales4526]

Reid Henrichs would you recommend a gen 3 or 4 now a days?

[@Alien300Blackout]

Christian Morales I have a Burnt Bronze Model 19 Gen 4 with a couple hundred rounds thru it which is not a lot ,but it's never malfunctioned not even once

[@MegaScorpio43]

My daughter brought a G19 gen 3 brand new. It had FTF, FTE, erratic ejection, slide locking closed. Glock said to clean to clean firearm then shoot again. Cleaned it good still the same problems so sold it and purchased PX4 storm and wallaaaa no problems at all. I feel if a pistol won't function fine from the factory especially after you clean it well then its not worth dealing with.

[@Mrgunsngear]

indeed

[@bryan1211]

The true Gen 4 G19 update happened sometime in 2013. Along with addressing the early issues in this video, they also added the nub in the beaver tail for better back-strap lockup. If your Gen 4 G19 has that nub you should be gtg. My updated Gen 4 G19 from 2013 has had zero failures with various types of ammo. No brass to face issues either. Also big thanks for all of the great videos Mrgunsandgear!

[@SlytigerSurvival]

I was your 3,000 subscriber. I remember the video. Looking back into your channel, I actually appreciate your gel tests, 5.45 stuff, Vepr vids the best. I didn't appreciate your channel until lately. I started getting into guns around 2012

[@d3rylle]

NIce video sir. I'm happy with my glock 19 gen 4 so far. I thought about getting the gen 5, but ultimately decided on the gen 4. Happy to see that at the tail end of the gen 4 and right when gen 5 came out, glock has ironed out the issues.

[@Willis2515]

My G19 gen 4 has similar overall weak ejection. I've had btf a few times, but it's been about a thousand rounds since the last time. Glad you did a followup and I hope this one serves you well.

[@ZachBillings]

Bought my G19 Gen4 in October 2012. It's been flawless from day one. Consistent and positive ejection for 5 or 6 thousand rounds now.

[@mattpelter]

I'm glad you did this review. I have Gen4 G19 (my EDC) and it has done fantastic. I've run about 600 rounds (I know, a low round count) of mixed ammo: subsonic, standard, +P, Winchester, Hornady, Tula, and some reload stuff. Works well HOWEVER as you have stated mine is relatively new. I want to say late 2011, early 2012.

[@1911Drew]

Great video! Thanks for putting it up. Glad to see your Gen 4 G19 finally got sorted out.

[@ww8wv1]

I recently broke down and bought a Gen4 19. I've got other models in gen2/3 but I held off on the gen4 because of the problems you've mentioned. I'm happy to report that my recent Gen4 has no issues at all. As usual, good vid and thanks.

[@rossgreenzweig]

gen 4, 19 here and have had 0 problems..thanks for the vid!

[@twe9043]

I purchased a G19 about a year and a half ago. Specifically went for a gen 3. It's my daily carry and I can't recall any failures in all the rounds that have been through it.

[@pssita]

Good to see you operationally operating the G4 g19

[@champy1210]

Great vid and great shirt! (I'll order mine shortly.) Congrats on the 150k subs! Appreciate your contribution to our 2A community!

[@AirForceAce3571]

thanks for the update! My first handgun ever was a Gen4 G17 (bought in May 2012), which has been flawless over 2000 rounds and 2 defensive handgun classes later. My current carry gun is Gen4 G19 that I bought in January 2015 and it too has been outstanding, and even survived a 3 day Thunder Ranch defensive handgun class with Clint Smith a month ago. The only jams it had were when I was doing one hand shooting with my weak hand and not providing enough resistance or hitting the slide with my thumb when doing flashlight work, but that's my fault. As a lefty shooter with small-medium size hands I MUCH prefer the Gen4 guns and both mine have been outstanding. Keep up the good work!

[@Mrgunsngear]

thanks for the report

[@TheJCP006]

Mine was manufactured at the same time period. No issues. Replaced sights with OEM Night Sights and Haley Strategic Skimmer Trigger. Tungsten guide rod is possibly in the offing.

[@deepiper6529]

I've had my gen4 Glock 19 for 2 years and it's been flawless. I have a gen4 Glock 27 and it's been great as well. That being said I edc a gen3 Glock 26. I love it.

[@Whitesp44]

Appreciate your videos. Just bought a G19 to add my Glock family last week. Stove pipes with Hornaday Critical Defense. Forget the grain but heavier than the 115. Odd for a Glock. Gonna keep testing before I carry it. Thank you.

[@CloudyFlyerRowdyNiemira]

I've never had a single problem with many rounds through my 19...one of my favorite pistols

[@clem9282]

Cool way of putting it!!by the way a few months ago I took your advice on the BCM elw kmr complete upper ordered it up along with a BCM lower soon as I got them put it together threw a closed tine Surefire warcomp on it went to the range and ever since it's my favorite rifle by far Very happy I took your advice

[@tlee1982]

I remember I was deciding with get the G19 3rd or 4th gen pistol back in March of this year. I ended up getting the gen 3 glock mainly because it was slightly cheaper. The local gun shop owner I bought G19 gen 3 from made a pricing mistake on the pistol which supposed to be $559.95, but was priced at $509.95. The owner went decide to honor the price that was listed and I ended up getting a sweet deal in the process. I can't complain and gun shoot great.

[@legiontraining4691]

The only thing needed for this problem is a stronger extractor spring. How GLOCK could not figure that out for months is beyond me, it took me less than one minute to see the extractor springs where not putting enough tension on the new extractors. Failures to extract and eject in a non gas system are usually caused by the extractor or low tension on the extractor.

[@basti080891]

i'ver got a g19 gen4 for a year now, no malfunctions (about 3000 rounds so far) except for when i experimented with the striker spring (went to light). sometimes i get brass on my head, but i can live with that.

[@Mrgunsngear]

glad to hear it's going strong

[@SouthpawActual]

Great video. My first purchase was a G23 Gen 4 around 4 years ago and although I never issues with feeding it used to eject straight to my face. I decided to trade the 23 for a 19 around 2 years ago, 3000 rds later and still going strong.

[@Mrgunsngear]

awesome

[@binyamj]

I had the same issue with my 23 that I bought in 2012. I used to get hit straight in the forehead. I still have it and it ejects normally. I talked to my local Glock rep, and he told me that the spring they put in was just too strong. He told me to give it about 1,000 rounds. It took around 1,500-2000 before the problem stopped. Thousands of rounds later and it's still never failed.

[@SouthpawActual]

+binyamj that's pretty awesome. I can't say I miss my 23 though, ammo is not particularly cheap to shoot but overall is a great carry piece.

[@fuigebhardt2966]

i have a g19 and g17, both in the Battlefield Green color (which i mention since i dont know the manufacture date, but DO know that that color was introduced in 2015. all battlefield green glocks are gen 4). both eject in my face at least three rounds per mag. ive used all sorts of different weight bullets (all factory new, i dont reload) and loads.

[@usa2amend325]

I bought my G19 Gen 4 this year and was having many BTF (brass to face) I changed to a thicker grip and after putting 200+rounds through it, I am no longer having the issue.

[@williewonka246]

I've got three gen 4 Glocks. A 19 & 26 bought in early '15 & a 30 just bought in June '16. The 19 & 26 run great and launch the brass just fine. Love the 30 as well and it runs great but does launch brass back at my face. : )

[@lentinikhalsa1]

I'm a little shocked your doing a video on Gen 4's this recently. I've had three g19;4's so far and they've all been flawless. I didn't have any experience buying the first year or two of the gen 4 though. Good video, I love your Glock videos

[@davidgiles9751]

My Gen 4 G19 is two years old now and I've never had any problems with the ejection pattern. I had checked previously, and it did have the latest parts installed though (that were available at the time that is).

[@theaveragewoodsman6002]

I've had my G19 for about 3 to 3 1/2 years and I've never had injection or malfunctioning issues with it. I must have just lucked out or something. LOL! Another great video!

[@Mrgunsngear]

thanks

[@ex-al5171]

+Mrgunsngear Channel hey man I know this is not on topic for this video but I have just built a 10.5 ar pistol and I have my own 3/4 steel silhouettes I made out of mild steel and I was curios if the shorter barrel and lower velocity would not pit my steel. I typically shoot wolf and tula 55gr fmj and I figured this could make an interesting video, thanks.

[@ScuffedEngineer]

Mild steel will always pit and is dangerous.

[@ex-al5171]

+Shadow for my pistol calibers it is fine I just do not want to fork out the money for ar steel

[@ScuffedEngineer]

Alex Payne Because spending $7-55 a target is sooo much. You can get (7) 8" round 100 yard rifle rated plates for $175 shipped.

[@playstation3demon13]

nice video, always with the good info

[@randystevens6302]

Bought a 19 in January 2013. Lost count of the number of times it drew blood from my forehead with it's erratic ejections. Sent it back to Glock , they changed out a few parts (ejector, extractor etc) and sent it back with little to no improvement. Put in an Apex extractor and it made a difference but still anything short of 124 grain made the ejections very unpredictable. Glocks have their place but my CZ75's will always be my go to guns.

[@redline870]

For anyone who's wondering about the smooth face trigger, it's a Gen4 Glock 17 trigger. I got one from lonewolf. It even has the same part number on it as the original G19 trigger, 3600-1, but has a smooth face instead. And BTW it feels a lot better than the serrated one. I wish they made a smooth faced one for the 43!

[@MALL1A]

thank a higher power the gen 4 19 was a problem, glad your on youtube!!

[@natewesselink]

had my 19 for a little bit. probably about 5k rounds so far with no failures even with lighter handloads. carry it every single day.

[@jakeweston8616]

I bought a NIB gen 4 19 back in May 2016. Ran 300 rounds through it before I cleaned it. Exactly 1 shell hit me square in my right eye but thankfully I had on shades. I've grown up with Glocks. I got my first 19 back in 1994 and my friends and I would laugh about how they would regularly drop spent shells right on your head or spit them out left or right at random. My current gen 4 seems to have come a long way. My gen 1 glock 26 was very consistent in its positive rightward ejection.

[@timbucker]

Good thing you were not having to defend your life without glasses, as the gun would have helped the bad guy.

[@TommyboyGTP]

My g/f bought a G17 gen 4 last spring. 2,000 flawless rounds thru it so far.

[@elir9990]

Ive had my Gen 4, g19 to 2 years, I have had failure to feed and failure to fire problems with it, Ive noticed that it all depends on the ammo that I feed it. I also have had the same problem with my Gen 4 g17 but not as bad. While I love the guns they are very finicky, to the point that I now carry a Walther PPQ for my off duty carry.

[@Darth_Smittious]

So far so good. I have a manufacture date of 2/2014. 3 years later still All good. All stock except the trigger shoe and sights.

[@Mrgunsngear]

awesome

[@KNiteshft]

I believe the Gen 4s were brought out to compete with the S&W M and P and Springfield XD (grip choices and sizes) So they were a answer to a question that was never asked. I have a Gen 3 and am satisfied.

[@Grevlain]

Got Gen 3's for family sidearms. I just got a spankin' new Gen 4 Grey Frame G19 and the thing is 100% with 3000 rounds and counting.

[@Mrgunsngear]

nice

[@HowIviewIt1]

I just picked up a new G19 Gen4 and did notice that it had a strong and consistent ejection pattern. I also noticed that usually on the last round would just hop up and fall back down on the gun like you mentioned. I have not had that issue with this new pistol.

[@elmooko69]

I know it's not quite the same as the G19, but my Gen 4 G23 will occasionally kick its brass so high into the air that it'll go over the divider at the range & land on the person next to me. It seems a bit unusual to me but I haven't had any failures with the G23 or my G26, both Gen4 models. Thanks for the update on your experiences with the G19!

[@Really-AintBuyn-nit]

My 19 was bought April 1 2016. My gen4 23 with the LW9 barrel gives brass to face. I bought it in August 2013. It's been so long since I shot 40 I don't remember if it throws 40 in my face. (need to remedy that!) They way we figured out something was wrong I took pics of my ejector side by side with my G4 17. My brother saw the difference when I sent him the pics. I kept the old part. I did try an extractor swap from my brand new 17 and that didn't fix it. $11 off a seller on Ebay with free shipping.

[@bluecollargunsandgear2361]

My gen 3 G22 ejects .40 perfectly, but the ejection definitely changes when I add the LW9 barrel. It still functions and ejects reliably, but the ejection is noticeably weaker.

[@azmaddog6]

I have 3 Glocks, all Gen 4. Two 17's (Coyote & Battlefield Green) and a 19, Gray. They have been 100% just like my Gen 3 19 which I sold to a friend. The Gen 4 fit my hand better than the 3 series. By the way I was a Glock and AK hater for years. Now I love them both!

[@DavidMN-]

Not going to lie, when I bought my XDM, Glock was of course on the short list but the number of problems I read about and heard about from people at my range... was a major factor in going Springfield. I LOVE my XDM.

[@Mrgunsngear]

There are a lot of people that avoid Glocks just like you did

[@artichoke890]

my g19 gen 4 works flawlessly. My wife's has bad pignose. It slows the slide down so it stays out of battery everytime. Also shells strike her in face most of the time. Tried differet ammo, I fired it and it also does same thing to me. switched mags also. 150 rounds. didnt fire any more because it was out of battery almost everytime. sent back to factory. hope they can fix it its brand new...

[@Mrgunsngear]

stinks

[@jamesbreen7394]

I have a BBKN gen 4 and it ejects about the same. It's all about the recoil spring. It's designed for euro ammo which is like +p+. I have competition 34's with lighter recoil springs and it clears up any weak ejection.

[@wmsymms]

That’s an interesting thought about the recoil spring. So a lighter recoil spring would allow to slide to operate at a faster cycling speed and the empty bullet case would hit the ejector harder for a more powerful/positive ejection. I may have to try that for my Gen 4 G19 BTF problem, although maybe it’ll just hit me in the face harder.

[@darton2010sean]

my gen 4 19 full fde has been flawless ive put alot of boxes of federal aluminum and numerous brands of hollow points and the ejection is perfect i agree they fixed it i know they changed the guide rod in newer models ,it recoils a little less than the gen 3

[@Mrgunsngear]

glad it's running

[@tackytrooper]

Got a Gen4 G19 back in early 2015, and aside from slinging brass literally everywhere, which doesn't really bother me, it has been very reliable.

[@domsugar9160]

I'm going to pick up a Glock 19 in a few I was going to get a Gen 4 I don't want to take the chance of it being a older model even if it's a brand new gun so I'm going to get the Gen 3 thanks for your video dude appreciate the feedback

[@b0lobattali0n78]

Glad your 19g4 works boringly reliable now. I have a 4 yr old gen 4 that has an excess of 4.5k rounds down range, and I've never had a malfunction that wasn't manually induced. When I was first debating whether to go G3 or G4 I was almost worried about the problems I was reading online, but the 4 won out due to the lgs not having a 3 and I'm glad for it. 5 pistol classes later and everyday carry abuse, it's been a boring gun lol.

[@JnJOutdoors]

just bought one 2 months ago, still having weak ejections. Just barely lobs spent brass out "some to the face" but.......100% reliable

[@ravenboy300]

JnJ Outdoors did you ever send it back to glock?

[@chrisadams3482]

Great video. Thank you, sir. Thumbs up.

[@samdelaet3587]

Haven't had any trouble with mine. I reload and all my brass is in one spot easy to pick up.

[@vicjaguar995]

I've bought two new Gen 4 Glock 19s in the last three months and I've had a Gen 3 19 for about two years. I've had to put 40 S&W extractors in all three to get them to eject properly. The problem I found is that the stock 9mm extractors don't hold the empty case against the breach face firmly enough to get consistent ejection. The 40 S&W extractor holds the empty case much more firmly, so much so in fact that I've had to stone the area where there extractor grabs the rim in order to allow a fresh cartridge to slide under it on two of them. The last 40 S&W extractor I put in my newest 19 came from Lone Wolf and it didn't require any fitting. Just to backtrack a little here, my Gen 3 would throw the occasional empty in my face and I had a couple of stove pipes with it, the first Gen 4 I bought had horrible ejection and would throw almost every empty in my face and my newest Gen 4 ejection was barely acceptable.

[@glock2119]

I'm ready for gen5. revert I to gen3 mechanics and keep the gen4 grip texture and enlarged mag release.

[@jimb4597]

Thanks for the video, very informative. I'm thinking of getting a G19 gen4, but am waiting to see if all the kinks are un-kinked. I had a G43 for a while but had all kinds of FTF/FTE issues with it (I counted 12 FTF/FTE in one 100 round series). Sold it and got a G26, which I really like. That's leading me to the G19 shopping....again, thanks for the info, I always enjoy your videos...

[@Mrgunsngear]

you're welcome

[@tacticalpharmacist6887]

I just bought one that is a Big Beautiful Woman serial number as well. I hope it works!! Just wanted a spare for my Gen3.

[@robertfrancisco1193]

i have the g19 g4 glock and have to say i can count the # of issues on one hand. accuracy will improve with re loads

[@JohnGreyman]

Mike I'm super Diggin the Princess Leia look

[@JohnGreyman]

May the Glock be with you

[@bobby398]

I bought a brand new blue label Glock 19Gen4 with glock night sights in early 2012. I never had any issues with that pistol that people have said plagued the gen4 glocks. Never had any brass to the face, etc.

[@Mrgunsngear]

glad to hear it

[@navyman8903]

Yours ejects much better than mine does. I think mine is also a 16.

[@everydaycitizen1089]

My sample size of 3 Gen 4's, including 2015 manufactured units, either exhibited issues out of the box or more worryingly, started to somewhere between 500 and 1000 rounds. My current pet theory is a lot of folks with Gen 4's don't shoot them enough to discover issues. I hope you do a 1k round update! Thanks for the video!

[@Mrgunsngear]

thanks

[@nightfury6836]

Great video, as usual Mike!! Interesting stuff here... I'm sticking to gen 3s for now but if they come up with those "FBI no finger groove" frames I may have to get a gen 4 G19!! 😉

[@hodlwise2470]

Did you get a gen 5? =)

[@nightfury6836]

Hodl Wise nah never did. Can’t afford em now. Too many bills, too little money. Plus now I’m into motorcycles 🏍 🤷🏽‍♂️ sold a bunch though!! Kinda ironic...

[@RockyTop1911]

I have a 5 year old Gen 4 G19 with no issues. Eats and Ejects anything I feed it. It is one with the newer recoil spring.

[@RobertSmith-le8wp]

I've heard the aftermarket extractors from Wolff and Apex work pretty good. One of the tests is removing the magazine and firing the gun. All my other guns will eject normally, on the Glock the shell falls through the magazine well.

[@Mrgunsngear]

thanks

[@E-ROCK0180]

great job, keep it up

[@Mrgunsngear]

will do

[@wormraper]

I've had the G19 Gen 4 for about 2 years now (got it at the end of 2015) and it's been near flawless .I had a few failures to return to battery with one brand of ammo, but it's ate everything I throw at it after the first few hundred rounds. Sadly I've had more issues with the newer gen 3's as I have a G26 that throws it back at your face right out of the box (it's better with hot ammo) .. my gen 4's surprisingly have all been flawless . .I had BOTH the G19 and G17 gen 4's and they've both been great. my gen 3's in 19, 26 and 30 all had BTF.... nothing big, like mostly over my right shoulder, but still annoying..... The Gen 3's started showing the same flaws the gen 4's did because Glock switched over to using the Gen 4 extractors and parts in the gen 3's (including using the same dual recoil springs that the gen 4's had) so it's less of a "gen 4's had the problems" as much as ALL gen 3's and gen 4's had those problems with the 19 and 17 thanks to glock changing manufacturing processes and parts for the guns. luckily the only gun I have that has any annoyances are a brand new gen 3 that has dribbling ejection (but it's only 100 rounds fired so far and the spring could need some wearing in)

[@birds5148]

I finally got a decent glock 19 as well. I had one of the bad ones. I preordered the bad one right when they came out and ejection was TERRIBLE

[@TheMichigankommando]

around the 8000 round mark, my gen 3 19 started to have some of the strange ejection. I will get hit in the face with some brass from time to time. Just hit 10,000 about 3 weeks ago; it hasn't gotten any worse.

[@mdaniels1980]

my 2014 gen 4 spits brass out between 2 to 5 oclock erratically but it clears the gun without issue. never went up just out

[@makun16]

I've been using gen4s since boot and never had an issue or have replaced a part. The recoil spring was recalled but I never did because it works.

[@Mrgunsngear]

thanks

[@Thr33.Sid3z]

i didnt want to deal with any problems so i just bought a Gen 3 19. i own a Gen 4 23, and so far it hasnt had any failures, but still less than 1000 rounds through it.

[@Mrgunsngear]

thank you

[@TurboB18C1DC2]

The only guns that I have had that have thrown brass more erratically have been springfield 1911s. 3 trps, lb operator, mc operator, loaded and range officer all throw brass worse than even a glock. Most of them also suffered from double feeds. 3 Ed Browns, 7 Les Baers, 1 Nighthawk, 1 wilson and 17 Kimbers all run flawless with hsts and even steel cased ammo. Over 2500 rds of hsts and never a failure.

[@TurboB18C1DC2]

oh yeah also have 1 nighthawk that throws brass like a springfield. guess what its a double feeder. also sometimes pulls spent cases back into the mag feedlips and or will jave the empty case just laying on top of the mag like my springfields do.

[@Mrgunsngear]

thanks

[@xCrimsonxTidex]

This is why I chose a Gen 3 for my first Glock.

[@thomasjefferson8094]

Bought my gen 4 a year ago new. The shop gave me a bag of ammo with it and failed by locking the slide back 1/8" several times. The ammo was crap reloads. I had another shop check the ammo. Since then about 4000 rounds with zero failures feeding anything, steel, brass, aluminum, hollow points. Lesson learned, never use ammo that comes in a plastic bag. Carry it daily.

[@Mrgunsngear]

thank you

[@gryphonz3]

About 6 months ago I got a Grey G4 G19. It has very weak ejection with standard pressure GECO ammo. Has never jammed,but the brass seems to just dribble out of the ejection port. Hotter loads like Lawman 124 FMJ or,I assume,NATO spec Magtech run and eject great. American Eagle 115/124 are both better than GECO but not as good as the hotter rounds. Of course HST and Gold Dot's ran and ejected great. Not a huge G4 fan,as I don't see what was wrong with a proven G3 platform. I doubt I would get another G$. I had a Blue Label G41 that I didn't keep very long. Was not as accurate as I thought it should be and disassembly/reassembly was quirky. Had to pull the trigger forward to get the slide back on or the firing pin block plunger would keep the slide from going fully to the rear. I have several G3 Glock's that will serve me just fine. Keeping the G4 G19 because I love the Grey frame.

[@isaiahharvin9802]

love that glock 19 bro, nice weapon

[@Mrgunsngear]

thanks

[@rocdarjargm]

I was unaware there were problems with the Gen 4. My G23-Gen2 has been absolutely 100% reliable for the past 24 years.

[@bruins871]

I didn’t luck out I picked up a new batch of a od green gen 3 g19 took it out today and Brass made it in my glasses and burned my my face just underneath my eye lid my first Glock ever abs this happens lol my m&p has wonderful ejection pattern so far I’m not happy with my Glock but I know what’s it’s capable of

[@flatmatrix360]

I have the Glock 19,20,21,23,26 and 34 all Gen 3s. Obviously I like them and have had zero problems of any kind with any of them. I only wish I had all my 9mm Glocks in the FDE color frames. Awesome quality firearms!

[@Mrgunsngear]

thanks

[@robertsalyers1351]

I've put about 3 boxes through my G19 gen 4....no problems at all...traded in my G35 gen 3 in 40cal for it...much better EDC for me

[@Mrgunsngear]

awesome

[@ReZiNmaster]

Had my gen4 19 for 3 years with no problems

[@Mrgunsngear]

thanks

[@andrewfibush8659]

they did that for the gen 4 for better recoil management. they put in a stronger spring. the harder it cycles back the further the ejection the less it cycles back the smoother it is

[@nbates9893]

That recoil spring was made to tame the recoil of the 40 guns. It had no business going anywhere near the 9 mil guns and they know that.

[@andrewfibush8659]

+5.56 Or 5.45? again it was only help manage the recoil better for faster follow up shots!

[@TommyboyGTP]

The G17 was designed to shoot Nato spec ammo as part of it's trials, which is 10% over pressure, so basically it's a +P round.

[@andrewfibush8659]

+Tommy TwoGun exactly

[@idoall165]

+5.56 Or 5.45? 7.62

My Gen 4 G19 had FTF issues that never went away even after several hundred break in rounds. Further research indicated that it was the magazine followers. I called Glock and had them send me 3 new ones. Of course they did not want to believe this was the problem and didn't appreciate my self diagnosis but who cares - I was right and so was the rest of the internet. I didn't bother cleaning it or anything because I wanted to prove it was the followers. Taken it to the range several times since then and put a couple hundred rounds through and never one single issue. LOVE this gun! Highly recommend the smooth Gen 3 trigger bar and Glock Minus connector to make a much better trigger on an already great firearm!

[@Mrgunsngear]

thanks for the update

[@JordanWinkler]

The new ones seem good to go and more reliable than the gen4s from 2 or 3 years ago

[@Mrgunsngear]

agreed; that's my perception as well

[@KMSchriver]

Nice vid and love the channel! 2 questions: 1. What is the concern with the ejection? I get a a FTE where the shell does not exit away the firearm, but what are you or should anyone be concerned with relating to the ejected casing and where it flies to? 2. What type of holster in that OWB for the G19? Thanks for all you do!

[@Mrgunsngear]

1. not sure how to explain that 2. KCT holsters

[@Really-AintBuyn-nit]

Mine was having lots of trouble jamming. Not sure if I accidentally bent the ejector. $11 and I fixed it. I went through 2 "Glock Certified Armorers" before I fixed it myself. They didn't fix it, RSA swap, found a filing wrapped around the safety plunger #1. (He put the trigger spring back in there wrong) Next guy found that and was giving me the "gee you did this wrong look) told him it was the other guy 2 weeks before. Now I need to research why my 21 spits it into my face. ;-)

[@Mrgunsngear]

interesting

[@RowenCx4]

I think these issues have been resolved for long time now. I've bought every model of 9mm Gen 4 Glock in the last 3 years and they all ran 100%. 26, 17, and 19 all good to go. I think Glock resolved the recoil spring problem rather quickly.

[@2Aknight762]

Any problems with Gen 4 G23s? I'm holding out for a new MOS version if they make it.

[@garnerneil80]

My first glock was a gen 4 g19. I hated the grip angle and I got constant brass to the face. after about 3000 rds I got rid of it. the grip angle is something I can get used to, but the btf ruined two pairs of prescription glasses. if the problem is truly fixed I might give it another try as for me the g19 is the perfect sized carry gun.

[@Mrgunsngear]

thanks

[@pwpollaccia]

let us know please.

[@garnerneil80]

p pollaccia there is supposed to be a gen 5 model in the pipeline. I think I'm gonna wait and see what comes of it.

[@terminator9099]

I had a gen 4 for 2 years and sold it because of the recoil spring, I have more trust into the gen 3 (what we are issued)

[@Mrgunsngear]

thanks

[@tevmanuelable]

I haven't had any problems with my g19.

[@lgdurocher]

Me neither. Occasionally the brass does come back my way but it's so few of the times that it doesn't phase me

[@cjsteele9594]

Love my G19 Gen4!

[@spapi3880]

I like your vids but I have never had or saw a glock malfunction from it not ejecting hard enough.

[@SHWELL11]

now I have to go look for the old vids.

[@Mrgunsngear]

:D

[@GBGuns]

Not everything can eject like an AK :)

[@rayhanes1347]

Guess I got lucky cause I've owned 2 and never had a single issue. It's my go to cc

[@chadpenn99]

My G22 often pings off my glasses when it ejects. Makes me laugh when it happens. Probably very distracting if in life/death situation.
