Attention Glock 19 owners

Alright, I'm going to try and conduct a poll about this whole Glock 19 phase 3 malfunction issue. If you want to read about it, here's a link://communities.prodigy.net/sportsrec/glock/gz-phase3.html
Anyway, how many of you glock 19 owners have actually had a problem w/ this? Please provide a short report on how reliable or unreliable you glock 19 has been

 

[blades67]

I have not had any malfunctions, to date, with my Glock 19 or 20.

 

[FPrice]

I do not recall ever having a malfunction in any of the four Glocks I have owned and fired. (I have a fifth, a G21 I just bought but have not yet taken to the range)

Now I understand that this experience only applies to me and cannot be extrapolated to the rest of the Glock-owning community. But my experience has been that the better you take care of your guns and watch what you put through them, the less chance you have of experiencing a malfunction.

My 19 jammed twice when my 16 year daughter was shooting it. Limp wristed, I suppose. They cleared easily. I have never had any failures amd never heard of a phase 3. That would be a sales killing story.

 

[blades67]

You could issue cast iron balls to the NYPD and they would still experience a 25% failure rate.

Is that why their main weapon is harsh language?

 

[Bob Locke]

I've put something on the order of 2,500 - 3,000 rounds through my G19, both at the range and in IDPA competitions. I have never, ever, had a single failure of any sort.

That's why I use it for CCW.

 

[6mm]

I have had my Glock 19 since 1998. I have had over 5,000 rds thru it and have never had a failure due to the gun. (had a bad follower in a magazine once and it wouldn't lock the slide back, replaced follower).

My 19 has been carried in the rain, snow and dust has has worked every time.

6mm

I have owned two G19's and had no failures in either. Would happily buy another tomorrow if a good price came with it.

 

[Rob96]

I have had no failures with my G-19. Doesn't mean I believe they are invincible. I don't think all the problems NYPD is having can be attributed to shooter error.

 

[Jimmy Mac]

I have been shooting Glocks since the first 17 came out in the 80s.

I have never had a single problem with ANY 9mm Glock as long as I was using brass cased factory ammo.

I once had a problen with CCI Blazer with the alloy case. Metal would shave off the case and build up under the extractor and cause a jam after several of these were fired at one time.

I have even fired several rounds of Wolf steel case ammo without a problem.

Not a Phase 3 failure, but it did fail to hit the 10 ring -- once....

Did the only smart thing I could with a gun I no longer trusted -- got rid of it.

You should add one more item to the poll:

What is Phase 3?

 

[cowpuncher/pi]

I have the phase 3 in my Glock 29. Sometimes every mag. I have tried different ammo and It still happens. Glock blames the ammo.

If you'd followed the link in my 1st post, you'd have read what they are.

 

[fraglord]

Never happened with my G22,23,27,30,17,19, or 20. Approx. 20,000 rounds thru them all(combined). Had some limpwristing jams with my 23 when I first got it, and my 27 jammed when using 23 or 22 mags, but they were easy to clear, not the lockup type III malfs. Now I know how to properly lock my wrist, and only use the G27 mags in my 27. Viola, no more jams.

 

[Steve Smith]

Ahh...

 

[Shawn3879]

Never a failure or any problem what-so-ever.

So far the glock 19 doesn't seem to have any more problems when you compare it to almost any other autoloader.
