So, not a convert?

In all seriousness, that stinks! I would have also been severely disappointed.
Not giving up on it just yet.
Disassembled, cleaned, reassembled last night.
Will take to the range again and put a couple hundred rounds thru it.
If it fails again, will call Glock.

Stumbled across a fairly good deal on a Glock 17 Gen 3, advertised as slightly used, but looks brand new to me, no residue, no marks, etc...
In the box, all paper work still sealed. $440 for it with 4 mags.
The trigger is really, really good compared to my M&P's, even better than the M&P's with the APEX kits. Not like my 1911's, but still very good.
Thought I would use it in action matches, nice to have 17 rd mags.

Any tips or recommendations regarding lube or other things out there to make it run well?
Left thumb on the slide but does anyone put a forefinger on the front of the trigger guard?

Will let you know how it goes after Oct 21st.

Not too happy with the Glock, perhaps I had my left thumb on the slide release while shooting? Any ideas?
