I grabbed a G34/5 Blue label a couple months ago. I have about 350 rounds through it. Shoots very well for me. No BTF (yet). I am very pleased with it so far and most especially it’s accuracy...one of my top 3 if not top 2 most accurate 9mms.

I was hesitant at first because they changed the trigger mechanism and I've got a ton of spare Gen 3 trigger springs around. Why tinker with something that works? Now I get it, since the trigger is noticeably better on my Gen 5 19 (had an Apex trigger and connector, but went back to the stock trigger w/ the Apex connector). It does suck that I now have to buy a $11 part instead of a $4 part if the spring fails. That being said, I love my 19.5 (except the magwell cutout and the stupid non-beveled frame on mine) and I just picked up a 19X.
Picked up a Gen5 17. The grip is as good as perfect for my hand. Gen4 17 frames feel skinny in the wrong place, where as the Gen4 19 feels good but gives me bad Glock knuckle. Mine shoots to the left with stock sights, hopefully I can run 10-8 sights centered as usual. I'm tempted to pick up a G19-5 now.
Edit: I'm shooting everything to the left right now. Probably isn't the pistol. (Perishable skills and all, I've been shooting rifle lately.)
I have several thousand rounds through my gen 5 17. No issues with anything at all. I'm currently running a Taran Tactical guide rod, which I like a lot.
As far as I'm concerned Glock hit a home run.
I am glad to hear things are going well. I am patiently waiting to get one.
I have several gen 3s. I bought on gen4, but sold it because, other then the safety, it did not do much for me. I fondled a 19.5, 17.5, and a 19x. The x was my favorite and is what I plan on getting first.
Now the question rolling through my mind is, do I ditch my gen 3s to fund a bunch of gen 5s.
