[QUOTE="Fyrtwuck, post: 2761921, member: 23"] The Gen-4 is another Glock problem child, with the 22 being their first. IIRC, Glock also re-designed the extractor angle on the Gen-4 after numerous complaints of BTF. When the Gen-4 came out, there were problems with the ejector, extractor and the recoil spring assembly. When I bought my Gen-4, I had several FTF and FTE issues. Six within the first fifty rounds. The slide was hanging up on the end of the RSA that was protruding through the slide. The first time I called Glock, they blamed it on my WWB ammo, saying that the Gen-4 was specifically designed to be used with NATO spec ammo. After three more calls to Glock and three changes of the RSA, Glock offered to machine my slide for use with a new RSA design. I said screw it and bought an RSA from Glockmeister that was made specifically for the Gen-4 and my reliability issues went away. The only problem I have with that gun now is shooting lead bullets. It will not group at all with lead. I know, "don't use lead bullets or reloads in Glocks". Too late. I started using lead and reloads in my Glocks back in the 80's. This is the only Glock I've ever had that had a problem with lead bullets. As long as I use jacketed bullets, there is no problem. [/QUOTE]
