I previously had a Gen 1 G17 9mm version and I did have a lot of Stovepipe/FTE issues with mine. After the initial novelty of it wore off I ended up trading my Gen 1 away for a Glock 26. Right place right time struck again and later the same day I traded the Gen 1 away I found a Gen 2 for sale at a LGS. With the improvements and the much larger ejection port on the Gen 2 I have had zero issues. Mine has probably 3-400 rounds through it now with a range of 115/124 grain FMJ and has functioned perfectly.
