Are you a lefty? I'm right-handed and have seriously never been hit in the face with brass ejected from any of my Glocks.
It's almost entirely a 9mm issue. Some 17s and 19s, IIRC.

I do like the fact that I never have to worry about whether or not the gun works when I pull the trigger.

But then again I don't really carry my 1911s or glocks anymore. Kind of went the wheel gun route. Funny thing about the wheel guns, they never seem have a failure to feed issue.

Are you ordering your ammo from somewhere south of the equator? That could be it
Having done serious range time on multiple occasions with with 88E I do not think he is doing it wrong. The man can run his handguns. Just saying.
It took a while before it sunk in for me. But, I'm kind of slow at times.I don't feel like this joke got enough love the first time around.
I wouldn't think their resale price would be much of an issue for you then right?

That's one of the only gripes I have about glock is the plastic sights. I think other manufacturers do better than glock on sights.
That being said, I DO NOT make it a point to rush out and chamge sights on my glocks like some do. Yeah I have some glocks with night sights and at least one other that only has metal solid rear and a tritium dot front. I'm not a must have night sight guy.
I have 2 glock night sights sets sitting in my tool box and have a sight pusher and the knowledge having installed many, and a couple glocks at least with plastic sights still. So you see how bothered I am by the plastic sights lol. Yeah I think it's a weak point of a glock but I believe for my application of the glock the plastic sights won't hurt.
on the glocks or 1911s?
Thats something I'd be willing to trust with even in a RIA 1911. Seen several of those get 5K+ rounds down them and never have a issue. But I have seen a couple that have a hiccup too. Usually caused by a couple internal pieces that are left a little crude from the factory. Little bit of patience and hand stoning goes a long way with them. Kinda putting my own foot in my mouth saying that when we're talking about "reliability out of the box." But for $350-$400 brand new 1911 I just feel like I'm getting a lot more for my money. But then again taking a gun all the way apart and working on it doesn't scare me like it would with someone that isn't very mechanically inclined. Something that I get enjoyment out of too. I think most that are familiar with working on 1911s can agree with me that the RIAs have a solid foundation to start with they just need that little bit of extra attention every now and then. Those "I can't get it to run" guns are the ones I love finding a the shop for cheap. Indiucky can tell you about that with a Remington 1100 I pickup from him lol. Not to brag but I was tickled pink when I found that one, I had in running in a hour of getting home with it.

1. I was at Tim's Shooting Academy in Westfield on the range awhile back and got hit in the head so hard that when I left they asked if I realized I was bleeding.
2. Well, no I didn't, they don't provide mirrors on the range.
3. I still don't know how I got tagged with a wall between us. Even if it came over the top, it would just be falling and shouldn't have enough "umph" to cut me?
I honestly like the plastic sights because to me they are throw away. I'd rather have them then have some metal sights I'll also swap and the pistol cost more initially. Heck if I could get a Glock for $10 cheaper without sights of any kind I'd opt for that!
I've never had a problem with the 9mm Glock's and brass to the face but the lone Gen4 G23 I had would sling it right over my head. Shot fine but ejection was not good at all, I am happy all that I have works 100%
