does the glock 17 gen 4 have problems? new gun suggestions?

well...... I went into the store to buy a glock 17 gen 4 and I walked out with a sig p226 mk25. When I handled the glock it just didn't feel the same as I remembered. I wish they made glocks with no finger grooves.
 
the 226 is a beauty.
you need both. you will ned buying both. I know I did and kept the Glock, because I have small hands and the 226 didn't feel right, but it was a beauty...

Did you try the E2 grips on your Sigs, I have small hands and find those grips make the gun fit even better. I do find the texture a bit rough but I like the fit better than the other grips I've had/tried on them. I just ordered my first Glock so everything might change :p

the internet is full of miss information, but the glock problems are (were) real. At the beginning the gen 4 had problems with the recoil springs, the new ones were modified a couple times until they figured one that worked, that one is 0-4-2.
After that, people started complaining of BTF (brass to the face) and erratic ejection patterns (ejector 336), so glock replaced their ejectors with another one that I cannot remember the number but I think is 2286. I have seen many glocks, and they all have erratic ejections, some more than others, some, have a weak ejection, some eject to the left every once in a while and so on. So there are little problems with the glock that can be fixed by replacing a couple parts.

good summary, this is all true
 
The e2 is ok! a bit smaller, I didn't like the texture either. I still find the 226 too thick around the decocker/web section. It is just not comfortable for me to shoot it for a long time.

What's the story on the rifling of the barrel? I recall seeing something about the rifling being not so good with soft point ammo compared with land and groove rifling. Anyone notice accuracy suffer with soft ammo?
 
I own 4 Glocks, 2 gen 3 ( 17- 22) and 2 gen 4 ( 34 -21 ) and i see no differences whatsoever between them, over 500 round each and not a single malfunction, they are all exceptionals... JP.
