Bought a brand new Gen 4 G34 last week, cleaned/lubed it and shot 300 rounds not 1 FTF, however I did get some BIF (brass in face).
Cleaned the gun and shot another 300 rounds not 1 FTF, still BIF.
I shot 600 rounds in 2 outings ( federal 115's and Blazer Aluminum 115) mostly rapid fire with no FTF's of any kind so I'm not going to bitch about the BIF issue, sure, shouldn't happen and I will get it resolved.
The G34 was the most fun 9 mm I have ever had or shot. The recoil was so light, I could bring it right back on target during rapid fire. I am a average shot but the G34 made me look better than I am.
I really enjoy action style shooting and the G34 works for me, oh ya, one other con is the damn thing eats to much, 600 rounds in just a few days and ready to eat another 600 rounds this week, geeeeesh.
