turns out its either the magazine followers or the new feed ramp cuts...on later barrels

I have a gen 1 with no problems

It's far more likely that you'll have a small part break over a 100,000 round service use of a handgun [I've puched two that far, a 9mm Browning GP and a .45 Colt Combat Commander; it's taken 30 years to get that out of the Browning and 25 for the Commander] or have a misfire from a round of factory ammo, so don't sweat it.

I've come to prefer the Glock 17 over the 19, but that's a personal pick based in part over my decades-long preference for full-sized service handguns. And the ability of an individual to fully strip and maintain a Glock put it head and shoulders ahead of most of the other designs out there, and equal to the M1911.

I suspect my next Glock will be a 36. The Glock 30 I had was a bit largish in my hand.

You might want to think long and hard about that G-36. I owned one for a period of time and it was the most problematic Glock I've ever seen. It was not consistantly reliable with any ammo other than FMJ.

I've seen this problem mentioned on other pistols of this model by other people on other boards. Just beware.
