I got rid of my 1993 G19 maybe 5 years ago and I have missed the ergos and natural shootability of the GLOCK ever since and I'm considering buying a new one. Not to mention nearly every style of sight setup or holster style is available for GLOCKs.
I just keep reading all these horror stories about new production GLOCKs and all these issues people are having with the new extractors GLOCK is using and I keep reading rumors about MIM strikers.
I understand the extractor issues and that it's a simple and generally free fix (though a handgun from a major manufacturer should work out of the box, without any silly parts swaps), but what is up with the strikers?
Are the strikers really MIM? Are there any reports from any reputable sources as to whether or not the "new" striker (MIM or not) is fragile or what is up with the chipping of the striker tip I'm hearing about? I've searched here and Google and it seems all I'm finding is the same posts by the same people but on different forums.
Oh pistol I'm looking at is Gen 3 17 if it matters.
