I traded one of my G21's, but the only problem I remember was a chipped extractor (probably caused by me dropping the slide on a loaded chamber). This was replaced for free by the Glock armorer at one of the Glock matches.
One of the magazines was ...fussy. (I think it simply needed the spring replaced).

It is my understanding that the G19 and G17 (9mm) are some of the most reliable handguns available. The other Glocks are pretty good, but if you want maximum reliability, stick to the full or compact 9mm's. (I carry a G19 on duty).
