I bought a new Glock 19 Gen 4 in the spring of 2016. It immediately began throwing brass back to my face. Tried different ammo and shooters, Glock had me send it back to them, and they called after shooting it and said it couldn't be fixed. They replaced it with a 26 and I sold it a few months after buying it to buy a couple of revolvers.
Fast forward to today and I was at the outdoor gun range and started taking to a guy out there. I was shooting a Springfield XD9 Sub Compact 9mm and he had a Glock 19 Gen 4. He tried mine out and offered me the opportunity to shoot his. I initially passed since I had owned one, but then decided to take him up on the offer.
I only fired one magazine of 15 rounds, but it sure felt good and shot well. While I really like the XD9 Sub Compact, it got me thinking about maybe trying a Glock 19 again. The lack of a manual safety or grip safety, plus my initial experience with a Glock 19, didn't have them on my 9mm consideration list but might give that a bit more thought.
I have been very pleased with the XD9 SC and have owned it for more than a year with flawless function and accurate shooting. Don't see getting rid of it because I like the 13/16 magazine options, but I was pleasantly surprised I liked the Glock so well.
