Proud owner of Gen 3 17,19,26 and a 21sf.
I couldn't help but stumble upon an issue today while reading some threads online. Perhaps I have been under a rock, because I had not heard of this internet "glock extractor mania" until today.
The opinions and expertise found on the resource of M4carbine.net is where I believe the rumors can be boiled away and the facts brought out.
The issue is that supposedly many 2010-2011 glocks, including Gen 3's were issued or shipped with extractors that are different from Gen 3's from 2009 and earlier.
see photos on this thread, page (4) especially:

My questions are:
What is the story really? Is this internet pajama ninja dilirium?
Did glock change the extractors?
What is the Gen 4 concave topped extractor pictured on the above thread? Page (4)
Could this all be poor pistol marksmanship and limp wristing with blaming the gun?
Anyway, I hope we can get some relevent answers, rational discussion and hard evidence (pictures are nice).
I own glocks, shoot glocks and also own and shoot 1911s. THIS IS NOT A GUN BASHING THREAD.
Please refrain from turning this into an ego fest. Facts only and 1st person experiences. Thank you and lets get to the bottom of this.

As the creator of this thread I ask at this point that any and all threads about YOUR gun include the following information:
- First 3 letters of serial # and or test fire date from factory.
- Generation of Glock (3 or 4)
- Number of rounds TOTAL fired through pistol
- Any changes made to pistol by you or armorer or Glock (parts etc.)
- Issues you are having.
- Ammo used during issues (manufacturer, weight etc.)
