>> I have shot over 5000 rounds in my 26 and never had a problem.
We’ve put lots and lots of rounds through our G17 and G26 — not 5000, but a lot. Never even ONE hiccup with either of them. With every shape and grade of ammo from cheap ‘n dirty to fancy and spendy.
Back when I bought them the dealer mildly warned me away from the Gen 4, which was just coming out, but I don’t remember why. I don’t think it was a reliability issue though. Something minor like the sight picture or something like that.
My comment was reserved for the most recent generation of Glocks, generation 4. Earlier Glocks are very reliable.
