I bought a G19 made in USA. At the same time my son purchased a G23 made in Austria. Mine is a jam-o-matic. I shoot a lot of other guns and have NEVER had problems like this with any of them. My son's pistol shoots like a dream with zero malfunctions. Thought maybe I was limp-wristing so at the range I gave my son the USA pistol. He had jam after jam after jam. We tried three different factory magazines. Four kinds of ammo. Still jam-after-jam. Afterwards when we fired his Austrian G23 we had absolutely no problems. I sent my G19 back to the factory. Cost me $72. Ten days later it was returned stating it met 'factory specs'. Back at the range it started malfunctioning as though Glock Customer Service had never laid a hand on it...and I doubt they really even fired it before returning it. So here I am with a loser Glock 19 that is useless and untrustworthy. Moral of the story NEVER buy a made in USA Glock. Stick with Austria. Better yet buy another brand of pistol. Glock is now making them using cheaper parts and with a lot less quality control here in the USA. If you get a lemon be prepared to talk to a Glock customer service person with a severely bad attitude who is doing you - the gun buying slob a huge favor by taking the time to even talk to you. They really suck.
Sorry you got a dud. I would try a heavier recoil spring, or lighter depending if its a failure to feed or eject. You shouldnt have to but if they wont fix it sell it or fix it yourself . my g19 is my go to pistol.
I have TWO Gen-3 Glock 19's, and LOVE THEM!!! I actually bought a Glock 19 Gen-5 M.O.S. ONLY because I'm LEFY, and the DLC Coating on there is AMAZING!!! I have the Apex Trigger Kit in my Carry Glock 19, and it's ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!!
Prefer Austria made Glocks over U.S.A. ones mines from 2009 when Tenifer process was still being used and has the better finish, still looks brand new even after thousands of rounds fire through it.
I'm in the market for a G19 and they seem to be in stock now (as of 12/12/13 in CA). You must have ordered on the day of or after Sandyhook. Knew a few guys who ordwered these 1 day after and they got it in June 2013. Good to know they're making new Gen 3's and not overstock.
I carried a .40 cal M-22 for ten years and switched to the 17 recently per department order. Good gun but I miss the quick reset of the 22's trigger action. These 9mm Glocks have a longer reset and makes for an interesting double tap :).
Mine has a AT stamp on the barrel in I recommend lubing them when there new to the point that you can hear the spring squeak anymore and the rails as well aswell the outside and inside of barrel
USA made Glocks have a different finish than Austrian made Glocks. You can find this info all over the internet. Also, I'd get all that grease off of your barrel and slide before you start shooting. Glocks are made to run fairly dry and all of that oil will do nothing but attract dirt and fowling. I have owned a G 23 since 2001 and will be purchasing my G 19 later this month. No offense, but I hope I get an Austrian made. If I'm paying Glock prices, I want mine made in Austria as they should be. Last I checked, all USA made Glocks were manufactured for sale outside of the US. I thought that was the oddest thing, when I saw that yours was made in the US. Maybe since demand was so high at the time you ordered yours, they decided to fill the orders with US made Glocks?
Thanks for your insight! I'm getting conflicting reports on the pentagon symbol. Some are saying that it's a USA proof mark, others have PM'd me stating it's got something to do with Austria... I'm also hearing that the symbol means that it's got a harder metal barrel, only used in the Pentagon stamped Glocks. I wonder why it would have an old locking block since it was recently produced?
Yeah, it's a love/hate thing. I like that it doesn't have the "slick" feeling that it had before, plus it also appears that its even more less shiny..more of a dull finish.
i believe they are using the same barrels in the both the newer g19 g3, and g19 g4, the newer g3s the cut out where the rear of the guide rod meets the barrel is wider, leading me to believe they the same barrels used in the gen 4, that could be what the markings mean.
I ordered a Glock and I had a issue with the 19s ejection but they sent me a different follower for the mags I live in Colorado and you can only get 10 round mags so Glock sent me a different follower for the mag and no new issues with it
I negotiated a 3rd mag when I purchased my 19, does that make mine a law Enforcement model? I would not buy a USA stamped glock, my gen 3 has Austria stamped on the slide.
because glock has a factory in smyrna, Ga that makes almost all models of glocks. They have been producing these for around 10 plus years now. You just have to make sure what model if it matters to you. I've had a glock 27 usa I bought in 2014.
Have had mine for two days & love the new finish not being so slick, but it scratches very easily my slide is all tore up.Have you had any problems with this?
My question for you is what is the inherent differences between the LEO G-19 Gen-3 and the Civilian besides the extra magazine and Upper markings (and price, lol)?
Great pistol. Have had mine for 20 years now.
My Glock19 Gen3 is stamped Austria.
Same with mine

Did you try to lube the handgun?
Try luring the gun and polishing feed ramp and rails if that don't fix it buy an after market barrel

Danm lol we have the same toys lol ;) I have 2 19s gens 3 and 1 19 gen 5..
I have one in lay away. Can't wait to get it to range. I had a glock back in the 90s but sold it. And regreted it every sense.
You actually sold your Glock??? If you're being abused by your wife/girlfriend, seek help man😢
You have a made in USA Glock 19. The best Gen at that.
Just got me a g19 gen5 USA model
Got a Glock gen 3 austria
@@stephandelaney4097 how has it been shooting??
I agree I just had a Glock gen 3 and Gen 4 and gen 3 feels way better in the hand
The pentagon with the dot in the middle is a mark showing the grade of steel.
I swear it's supposed to say Austria on the slide. Never seen one made in the USA.
Yes, mine also has Austria on the slide, and on the barrel it's stamped AT, not US. My ser# is VAG7xx if that's a clue as to the timeframe.
I just bought a Gen 3 and mines from Austria
There’s so many gen 3 glocks made in the USA
@@Glockswrld300 Mine's made in Austria
5hey are built in both countries. Mine is Austria.

Thanks for your nice video. I really love Glock 19, especially Gen 3 model.. It's a very nice gun. I am gonna have one soon very soon..
Kemal Uçar Thanks! It's a great gun that will last a really long time..
people feel like real gun smiths when they take a part a glock when its easier then pouring your self a bowl of cereal
Working on getting mines, once my purchase license arrives
Mine has a AT stamp on the barrel in I recommend lubing them when there new to the point that you can hear the spring squeak anymore and the rails as well aswell the outside and inside of barrel
the pentagram is the grain of steel cast, if it has a dot it is of a harder steel
guitaoist
your an idiot, first off its not a pentagram, its a pentagon, and it means that the barrel is a polygonal riffled barrel....
Mine looks like it has a “3D” inside a oval.
I have one. It’s more of a textured matt finish. Better than the G45 finish
Best gun ever made!
it's overrated

Just bought mine too! Waiting for it to get here!!!!!!
Nice vid
Yeah the finish is gone around the corners of the muzzle, and the ejection port is scraped up.
Remember kids stay strapped or get clapped.
I thought the Gen 3 models only came with two magazines.
Me too
@@jeffbrigman4313 He states it’s a Blue Label glock, so it comes with 3 mags.
What is not a opinion is that the gen 3 has the best trigger...
Nice piece.. It sounds like if needs a little oil on the rails though. Cheers!

No, definitely not USA production indicia. Mine is Austria made and shows AT below the pentagon
I love my glock 19 gen 3 I shot 250 rounds with no problems.
This is the LE version, they come with 3 mags.
Hexagon is for added chamber support..
Yeah, it's a love/hate thing. I like that it doesn't have the "slick" feeling that it had before, plus it also appears that its even more less shiny..more of a dull finish.
It seems after late 2015, they no longer include the envelope with spent cartridges, or anything wiht a date
Straight to the database
I just found that out myself. Had to place a call to Glock for the date of manufacture.
High temperature wheel bearing grease, NOT oil.
Glock says gun oil.
@@popsmccartney435 They dont know any better
i believe they are using the same barrels in the both the newer g19 g3, and g19 g4, the newer g3s the cut out where the rear of the guide rod meets the barrel is wider, leading me to believe they the same barrels used in the gen 4, that could be what the markings mean.
It was made in the USA not Austria.
I ordered a Glock and I had a issue with the 19s ejection but they sent me a different follower for the mags I live in Colorado and you can only get 10 round mags so Glock sent me a different follower for the mag and no new issues with it
got mine today brand new like and a holster 2 mags for 425 :) im a happy man
Daniel Rojas Nice! Enjoy.
Glock 19 Gen 3 WORKS
Got my Gen 3 for 445.00 new. Talons and beaver tail grip force to be installed.
Good job
I'm not saying mine is better but it says Glock AT instead of Glock US I am happy it's made from Glock's home country.
The finish is different on the USA made guns.
I just bought a Gen 4 17- and I hate the new finish
You still prefer it
Is it just me…the forward part of the frame looks bent. Doesn’t look like it’s straight with the slide
Nice video!
Thanks!
everyone here talking about great the gun is:
me, just here for reference for my model: ...
lol mine looks like a dull "gun metal" color, I like.
Am I the only one who’s G19 gen 3 came with 10rd?
you got the ca, ma, ny complaint glock 19. The standard glock 19 comes with 15 rds.
Mine is also 10rd.
Top of my gen 3 19 says AT not US. Must be Austria just picked mine up Friday
I negotiated a 3rd mag when I purchased my 19, does that make mine a law Enforcement model? I would not buy a USA stamped glock, my gen 3 has Austria stamped on the slide.
The only USA on the slide is on my 42 🤷♂️
Yeah I have a glock 17 and 19 and the 17 slide color or finish is darker I noticed it right away when I purchased the 19
Austria Glocks >>>> USA Glocks ...
Gotxnks why? Are the austria ones made better
Jordan Smith supposedly. Just from research that I've done, and other research that others have done and different expierences with them.
How much would you pay for a used one from a estate auction and how much did you pay back then.
I have the same toy and same watch buddy ;)
I heard the USA model sucks.. Austria model is the original..
I think it varies! Ive had my g27 usa from 2014 and I have never had a problem with it. It's been very accurate and reliable for a subcompact .40 cal!
Why does it say USA on the slide?
because glock has a factory in smyrna, Ga that makes almost all models of glocks. They have been producing these for around 10 plus years now. You just have to make sure what model if it matters to you. I've had a glock 27 usa I bought in 2014.
Aye nice rolex. Lol I can spot a fancy watch a mile away. Lol
Jazmine Brown - poor mans Rolex...it’s an automatic Invicta.
Dude that's a Folex
3/2022 and just bought one
Grippy is the word you’re looking for
I do notice a slight wear on mine.just bought it a week ago.My date 4/22/13.
Must be in the Obummer era.
God damed thing is so tight I cant disassemble it for cleaning,im not strong enough,HELP
Wow, USA mark instead of Austria.
Nice
Have had mine for two days & love the new finish not being so slick, but it scratches very easily my slide is all tore up.Have you had any problems with this?
My question for you is what is the inherent differences between the LEO G-19 Gen-3 and the Civilian besides the extra magazine and Upper markings (and price, lol)?
The only thing I could find is what you've already mentioned.
TriStatePublicSafety Appreciate the candid reply. I just got a G-19 Gen 3 yesterday (early Christmas gift to myself, lol) and was curious.
Awesome! Enjoy. Just curious, did it have markings like mine?
TriStatePublicSafety No mine is the AUS version.
I believe you nailed the only differences. I can't find any others...
how did you get the law enforcement version they told me that i could not get that one
I get blue label Glocks, they are for public safety personnel.
Nice rolex!
I've got a glock 19 gen 3 with the same markings...
Nice Video. Enjoy
Next to the Glock symbol on the top of mine AT instead of US. Atlanta?
Eric Bitzer mine says the same idk what its for
I have one stamped from being made in Austria with the same AT on the top on the barrel. So I don't think it is for Atlanta.
@@esbam2002 Yeah, I guess AT is Austria.
Hi dear how can I get the glock 9x19 in Afghanistan thanks
Dial 1-800-TAL-IBAN and they will rush deliver it to you.
If the finish is hard to describe then stop.
i bought mine and cant even dare to put a bullet out of it =( its so beautiful and clean lol
Shades og 2020
Lol...Is it Special ?
Yea the 2013 glocks have a dull finish. I hate it .
wait mine is a gen 3 glock 19, says made in austria, but doesnt have the Austrian symbol on it. Is it a austrian made ?
sounds like you got one made in china
negative. !
Union Check 😂 I hate when that happens!
Mine says Austria.lol
Chalky
LE=gay. Why not USA version?
OMG ur CIA?! FBI ?
