Gen 6 1000 Rnd first impressions
This is a very short review. I recently picked up a Glock 17 gen 6 with the aimpoint coa sight and shot 1000 rounds of S&B and PMC brass 115 gr fmj through it. I like the improvements they made to the overall ergonomics of the gun, but I still dont like the trigger. Out on the range, it peformed like any other Glock, but had 2 FTF's resulting in light primer strikes within the first 3 mags. Keep in mind that the only time it's been out of the box was to attach a TLR1. Nothing else was modified. I was shooting S&B and Maxxtech when the light primer strikes happened. I only have one round i managed to save that had a light primer strike included in the pictures. When i ran it more, the problem seemed to go away.
It's an improvement imo. At the end of the day, it's just a Glock. Some may be disappointed when they pick it up, and others will be happy. I'm curious to know what others think.
(EDIT: I SHOT PART OF A BOX OF MAXXTECH 115 GR FMJ WITH THIS TOO, FORGOT I LOADED 2 MAGS UP FOR THE TRIP WITH SO I COULD GET RID OF THE BOX. ONE MAXXTECH ROUND HAD A FTF, THE OTHER ONE WAS S&B)
