Anyone here into firearms?

I use the M&P for USCA 2 gun and USPSA matches so I like that the glocks and M&P have lots of accessories and mags available. I have heard issues with earlier productions needing the barrels replaced, but mine is a 2012 model and it seems to be pretty accurate when I dont throw my shots off.

The PPQ is a nice pistol and has a good trigger out of the box. Very similar to the HK p30 but cheaper.

What issues have you seen with the Gen3/4 glocks? I've been eyeing a gen4 G19 to replace my gen2.

If I had the coin, I'd love to take one of the Vickers courses. I highly recommend anyone that is into firearms to try a 2 gun or 3 gun competition. Its the most fun i've had outside of my z.

Erratic ejection, especially brass-to-face. It's a pretty notorious issue with later versions of the Gen 3 and current Gen 4 Glocks in 9mm.

As to Vickers...I've taken a couple of courses from him. Wouldn't do it again...lots of good trainers out there at his level. He's not my favorite.

I had issues like that with my G4 g19 glock. I shipped it to the glock factory and so far i haven't had issues similar.
I will have to shot it rapid fire and c what happens then.
But i do have some erratic ejection occasionally.

What is up with larry vickers?
