I for one am not clear on how widespread the problem was or is, for the simple reason that we have had internet talk, which magnifies every reported problem by repetition, and no clear statement from Glock about what proportion of pistols were malfunctioning. The only data we have to go on is that Glock went through a series of springs, each of which was supposed to be a cure, and that they recommended hotter ammo. The latter is a significant departure for a pistol that, in its previous incarnations, would eat anything. Reports like that from threedogdad are encouraging, but I would personally wait for this to shake out a little before I bought gen 4 9 mm.
