11 years and still going on my Glock 23. No problems ever traced to gun - one was ammo (Blazer aluminum case) and one was technique (was holding my grip hand thumb over the slide stop lever, preventing slide from locking back on last round). Gun has been absolutely flawless through more rounds than I can track - probably in the range of 5,000 to 10,000 rounds.

2nd gen Glock 19. Only problem I've had is finding enough ammo to feed it.

I've never owned a Glock nor, do I have plans to buy one (personal preferences.) That said If I were handed a 9mm Glock especially the 19 and 17 and told I had to use it I would:
1. Load the magazines.
2. Load the gun.
3. Put it in my holster and go about my business.
The 9mm Glocks are nearly perfect.

edit: correct spullin arrors. ;-)

I own a G17, G19, G26, G20, G21SF and a G29.

All are 3rd gen except the G26. All have been 100% flawless through thousands of rounds.

Approximately 2000 rounds through it.

No secret that I am a big fan of the Glock platform. I have worn out some springs and nearly all of mine have jammed at one time or another. They are my favorite, but I would still practice those malfunction drills :thumbs2:

I have a 1st generation G17, never have replaced the springs in it yet and it fires flawlessly! This gun has always been in the family and there is not telling how many rounds have been through it.

2nd Generation G22, bought used I have put around 10,000 rounds through it and the only thing that went bad was the guide rod spring.

G27, have not fired many rounds through it to give it a problem free, but it is a GLOCK!

Yeah that g17 is somethin. More than 40,000 through mine. And dry fired a gazillion times.
I miss the days at academy when I asked for two cases and would have to tell the sales clerk, hey cases not boxes.

G23, 27, 30 and 36 no problems. I really like these guns. Some day I would like to get a G20 and 29 just because I want to.
