Aside from the chronic fuckups of the 2010-2011 guns, I'm filing this under every company sends out a lemon.

You should have bought a Gen3 pre-2 years ago.  

Glock has supposedly tinkered with the new Gen3's as well - probably all in the name of parts consolidation.

FWIW - I own three G3 G19s (newest being purchased Jan 2011) ... not one issue in any of them

Fix it, sell it, get a Gen2.

ETA:  Did you clean the copper colored lube off the gun or just shoot it?

I'm not saying that you were limpwristing, but I hate when people say this.  There is no correlation between your height/weight and limpwristing.  If you aren't locking your wrist, you simply aren't locking your wrist.  It has nothing to do with how big or strong you are.

If that doesn't help, the gen 4 ejector might. It seems to have fixed my brass to face issues on my 2013 gen 3 19.

That gun may be fucked.   Glock puts out a lot of half-assed stuff these days.

If you can't limp wrist it with M882, it's a piece of shit anyway.

I can limpwrist the fuck out of all my 1911s and my M9 and my Glock 19s and they chug right along.  Even with Wally World ammo.

Which is why I decided to go with HK when I was in the market for a midsize poly gun.  I LOVE my g21sf, it was my first gun and has never had a failure with countless rounds.  But this is a gun that I got several years ago.  Ever since Glock came out with the gen4's, they seem to be pretty hit and miss.  I know no company is perfect, but Glocks modern qc seems to fucking suck.

If I spend 500 bucks on a new firearm, I want it to fucking work.

IIRC all the gen 4 .40's have been good to go.  I could be wrong, but I believe the gen 4 recoil mech was designed around the .40, and then they moved it to 9mm..which is why there are problems with them.

Still doesn't explain the late gen 3 9mm fuck ups though.

Well, OP, if it's any consolation to you, I don't think the newer SIGs have the build quality that the older ones did either.   So it may not be only Glock with this problem.  

I would not trade my older West German SIGs for new ones and I would not trade my older Glock 17 for a new one either.  

Actually, your post makes me somewhat happy - not because of your problems but because I decided to get a S&W M&P 9mm police trade in instead of a new Glock 19.   Maybe I made a wise choice - for once in my life.  Now if I could only find magazines for the damn thing.   At least you can get Glock magazines.

Did Glock dick up the extractors on the newest Glock 19s?

I don't have any sigs...but I was always under the impression that the older sigs were prefered because they were carbon steel and balanced betters.  The new ones,  IIRC, are made of stainless, which is actually stronger to be able to hold up to .40/.357sig, but doesn't have the ideal balance.  I have no idea which one has better fit and finish though between German made and US made.

Replace the extractor spring too.  Heck, replace all the springs in the gun, they're cheap enough.

Detail strip the slide too.  It's remarkable how much crud builds up.

My Gen 4 G17 and G34 are flawless. Both are 2012 guns.

I took my G34 to a pistol course straight out of the box. No cleaning or lube and it ran 100%. I had a Gen 3 G17 also from 2012 that liked to lob brass at my forehead so I got rid of it.

Fail.

Two massive malfunctions in 150 rounds of M882 ball. Pistol was unfired. Spent shellcasing in the box was dated 6-22-12.

Yes. I am fucking angry. This is bullshit.

My opening line was a bit tongue in cheek. I got this yesterday in a good trade. I took it home, cleaned it, and lubed it with Fireclean.

This is about the 10th Glock I have owned.

This is more proof that being a fanboy is stupid, all machines will fail, and Glock has screwed the pooch.

It is a shame.  I shoot nothing but Glocks and have never had a malfunction, but I know they are happening now.  It seems to be pretty minimal but it is happening on some newer guns.  Can someone just produce a reliable handgun and not fuck with it?

Uh, a stovepipe or two in the first 150 rounds with a new pistol is not a massive malfunction.  If you have repeated issues after 700 rounds then you'd have cause to be upset.  700 rounds is what I would put through a duty/carry gun prior to carrying it.  My Sig Pro had multiple FTF/FT go into battery in the first 200 rounds, Sig said put 400 rounds through it and call us back if still having issues.  I think I only had one more FTF in the next 11,000 rounds.  Go break your gun in.  Glocks may not be what they used to be, but they, like all mechanisms, need breaking in.

Several years ago a Police Dept went to 9mm's...
The Glock 19 was recomended for Detectives, and other Plainclothes Officers. Most of these guys were revolver shooters, not experienced pistol shooters...

SO many had functioning problems. I could take their Glock 19 and shoot 50 rounds with no problems. They couold not get through a single magazine with out a malfunction.

The reason, they were "Limp Wristing" the gun.

After some proper training their Glock 19's worked fine. Also "rumor' has it, that Glock changed to a lighter recoil spring for the 19's in the USA...

Not saying that is your problem, but it is worth thinking about.

My former agency had one approved weapon, the G19.  I'm not familiar with anyone ever having a FTE/FTF during quals.  Of course the average experience in our agency was 20+ years with many former MIL and firearms instructors in the group...  No one wants to admit they are limp-wristing.  I've had issues with other weapons where the grip was a poor fit causing this issue.  Glock 45's are bad for me (hand size) for this reason and i've had stovepipes, its still called limp-wristing.

I have examples of both new and old, Geman and American and they are all high quality, 100% reliable pistols.

SIG did have some quality control issues a while back, as have all manufacturers, but they have been addressed.

Now it's Glock's turn at the wheel.

OP, I had a Gen 3 G27 from 2006 that was/is a total piece of shit too. I could not get 3 full mags thru that little shitberg without a stovepipe, nose dive, or the slide locking back with ammo in the magazine. I drove it to Glock. The armorer replaced the extractor, recoil spring, ejector, slide stop, firing pin and spring, and replaced the two 9 round magazines. I put 200 rounds of ammo thru it and sold it disclosing all history to the new buyer for a heck of a deal, for him... I couldn't carry the pistol knowing all the previous malfunctions.

M&P mags are coming back. You can get the 9mm mags @ 44mag.com for $60 each,... I carry M&P40's and just picked up two factory mags @ Midway for $33 each. Two months ago I would have said M&P 9 and 40 mags were made of unicorn vagina's. Midway, had the 9mm mags earlier this week, 2 mag maximum quantity. Keep checking Midway...

Either way your going to be inconvenienced and out of pocket so, let Glock fix it. They put out that POS so it should be them that fixes it. Your going to have to pay to send the pistol to them though... S&W pays both ways if you ever needed their services for future references OP...
