I have had zero issues with mine either. I wipe it down every 1000 or so rounds with militech. Not out of lazyness, but as a deliberate decision. Thats firing army ammo thats got that wierd granular shit in the powder. So it can get pretty funky. Before I get scolded - I'm more deliberate about it when it matters.

Only issue I've ever seen with a glock, was on my own 21SF. When I dissassembled it I saw the (stock captured) recoil spring assembly had slipped just off the half moon recess on the barrel lug. I thought I might have just bumped it during dissassembly so I fired again and I partyly replicated the problem, but it didnt slip completely out this time. I'm pretty fanatical about my glocks so I was a bit bent about it. In the end it didnt really matter because I always replace em with a non captured rod and spring since I see that new assembly theyre putting on the new glocks as the only potential weak link on the gun. That being said it still never jammed or failed to fire.

At home I have a 19 17 26 and 21SF. Huge Glock fan. Very reliable and accurate. I'll get a 34 soon. I hope you end up being happy with your purchase. If not I'm sure youll be able to sell it without much of a loss
