Question: Recently Manufactured Glock 17

[CANDERSEN]

Would a 3rd generation Glock 17 manufactured on 4-5-2012 be good to go?

Have all of the extraction and ejection issues been "cured" in this latest edition?




Thanks

No. Every Glock made after sometime in 2010 is a crap shoot (no matter if it is a GEN 3 or GEN 4).

Grant just made the accurate point the other day that Glocks have always been pretty erratic ejection wise. I think the standard many are looking for never existed.

If it doesn't stone you in the face/forehead and it cycles - that's probably close to the legend of Glock in this department. Perfection right? LOL

I need to get to Vegas and play craps cause I've come up sevens on 8 Gen 4 9mms and four new Gen 3's.

April manufacture is as good as you'll find unless you want to look for older used guns out of concern that the 10's of thousands of guns they've sold per year, these past few years aren't working.

I have a gen3 17 that was produced in February 2012, the gun has roughly 2,000 rounds through it now and it has had zero issues, but just incase I had purchased a new ejector/extractor from Glock.

True True.

A Glock would NEVER pass the tests that a 1911 has to in order to be considered "built right."

No. Every Glock made prior to sometime in 2010 is a crap shoot (no matter if it is a GEN 3 or GEN 4).

Before 2010? I thought it was after.

All it had to do was function and be accurate right? But those old fudd's might have had a "drop the empties into a coffee can" test too. (which I only write because I'm confident they're all dead and won't shoot me in the face with one of the originals)

I believe Grant meant _after_. I have 3 Gen3 G19's and 1 G26 early 2009 purchases that have a combined total of 10,000 rounds through them with only one rearward ejection.
