Ok, so as I'm sure all of you are aware, there has been much consternation about the Gen4 GLOCK pistols in 9mm. I know this is a sample size of 1 and I'm no Todd K of pistol-training.com... but I plan to put out a fair (if slightly subjective) review of my experience with this pistol over the next year or so.
The serial number prefix is "VHW" and was test fired at the factory on 6/21/13. *will insert RSA, extractor and ejector numbers here next time I check*
I have installed Warren Tactical Sevigny sights, plain black rear with a fiber optic (green) front sight. This pistol will primarily serve as my IDPA SSP & ESP pistol over the next year. I am doing my best to shoot a "full" season in order to qualify for sanctioned matches above the club level. I hope to put 2000+ rounds through it in the next year or so.
I hope to either prove or disprove to myself that GLOCK Gen4 pistols are fine pistols, and that teething problems evident in early production guns have been resolved.
As for the pistol itself, what can I say that hasn't already been said? It's a good-looking gun, and feels great in my mitts with a medium beavertail backstrap installed. I have chosen to leave the trigger completely stock, as it has smooth travel with no creep, and a crisp carrot-like break not unlike some Geissele AR triggers. I can weigh it and get the poundage now and check it periodically to see if it decreases.
My very first range trip was a success, firing 50 rounds of PPU 115 gr FMJ ammo with no malfunctions. Here are the first 5 groups, of 5 rounds each fired offhand at 15 yards, the best group is around 1.2":
I'll post an update after my qualifier match this Saturday!
