I had a buddy on the police force let me go shoot his Glock .40, and while the gun itself was extremely nice I'll throw out a couple things to think about. They may not be any big deal to you, but in researching the issue on the 'net, I've seen others complain about the issue as well.
Every casing ejected right back into my face, or at least towards it. About every third piece of brass would actually hit me somewhere on my head.
The other thing was that the sights aren't adjustable -- at least not without replacing the whole rear ramp. I qualified expert with every weapon I trained with in MP school, and did a LOT of hunting growing up. I want my bullets to hit where I aim -- PERIOD. At approximately 15 yards, the POI was off by about four inches; granted, it would "work", but if I want to shoot someone's eyeball out, dangit-- I want to hit their pupil.
I've since expanded my search in handguns with adjustable sights on the pistol so that I can fine-tune the POI.
Greg / MO,
Please do not take this as being disrespectful as I am sure you have lots of experience, but the problems you describe aremorelikely to beshooter issues than firearm issues. The case ejection problem is usually the result of improper grip and or stance imperfections. The same can also be said for the accuracy problems. I can only recall one pistol that would not hit POA @ 15 yards in the last 12 years. I don't remember the brand but it had the wrong rear sight installed....I want to say it was a Sig 229. I am also a little weary of adjustable sights on a CCW. When I first started shooting my Glock 27, I was certain it was grouping low and left(about 4 inches too). Then my department range instructor took the firearm and shot the bullseye out of a target.
Edited to add: It seemsthe problems you experiencedcome from people who are accustomed to shootinghandguns other than Glocks.I was used to shooting Sigs and Berettas andit took me about 500 rounds to getused to the grip and trigger. For people who have experience with other handguns, many times find the Glock grip angle much different than what they are used to.
