I didn't read all the posts so...............
I was told to check out this thread from some folks at Defensive Carry. I purchased a brand NEW Gen 3 Glock 19 at the beginning of this month for my son.He is finishing up his tour as a paratrooper in Afghanistan shortly. I've had my G19 Gen 3 since 2000 with NO issues..so you can imagine I'm concerned about this pistol. It has a test fire date of 12/01/12. Serial number begins with a "U". It won't be fired until he comes home on leave..but wanted to learn as much about this as possible. I did NOT go through all the posts yet on this thread. Can anybody sum this issue(or non-issue)up for me. THANKS!!:D
What's the Cliff Notes version of all this?
First off THANKS JHC and Vigilant ! The concensus appears to be SHOOT FIRST, then worry if necessary. GOOD sound advice!:) However, I do have a couple general questions that I hope can be addressed:(as it relates to the Gen 3 G19's)
1: Has Glock itself announced that they have the problem figured out finally and that guns produced after a certain time and serial number range are "good to go"?
2: If #1 is true..what says those in the industry and G19 owners?
3: Is there any general agreement on what parts need to be changed to get a "burping" G19 running like it's suppose to be? Alot about different replacement extractors and,of course different OEM numbered ejectors. I heard so much on this thread that I need a flow chart !:dance3:
