Of all the used Glocks I’ve bought, the only part that came broken was a pre-2009 locking block on a three pin Gen 3 19 at one of the angles. I actually shot it just fine before I detail stripped it and noticed it broken.
Battlefield Vegas has done a number of threads on their rental guns. On the pistol thread, they report that 9mm Glock slides crack at some point past 100k rounds, though I think they were saying Gen 4s were failing around half that by cracking at the front ring. Gen 5s reinforce that front ring, so I’d imagine they last longer than Gen 4s.
