So what’s all the fuss about the unreliable Glock 20s? I purchased a nearly new gen4 20 today, how bad of a mistake did I make? I haven’t shot it yet, but thinking of dumping it and get a 329pd smith

What fuss? My Gen 3 SF has been stone cold reliable from day one.

Keep the Glock and skip the smith.

Reality is G20 very reliable and very accurate. The S&W 329PD is good for what it was designed for....lightweight 44 Magnum. It is not something that you will go to the range with and pop off 50 rounds with. That pistol is the most painful SOB that I have ever shot. I have a 629 but I would NEVER let a 329PD anywhere near my front door. The G20 is good, clean fun at the range.

If a Glock is unreliable it’s because of operator error! Glocks just run I have a gen3 that shoots whatever you feed it never a failure to feed or fire. I did buy some non Glock magazines and they were not the best. Run only Glock 20 mags.
Then STFU. The rest of your statement is superflous bullshit with no real bearing on this discussion other than to massage your own ego. Suckin' on my titties like you wanted me.

I have multiple 10mm Glocks and they've been perfectly reliable through thousands of rounds each.

I would be really surprised if you have any issues.
You haven't specified the issues that concern you.

I'd think Glock to be the last firearm to have a reliability issue. It's a time proven design.

I've had my Glock 20 (Gen 4) for about a decade, and have never had a problem with it. Never heard of a problem with the model.
I had the 329 PD for years. Great for what it is, but I got a fracture in my wrist from shooting six rounds of full house Magnums from it. Sold it to my nephew a couple of years ago. He carries it, but loaded with .44 Special.

The only issue I consistently hear regarding G20 reliability is with 220gr hardcasts.
They will all run great with 200gr and that's what is recommended for absolute reliability.

I’ve had a Glock 20 for close to 30 years. It’s been rode hard and put up wet….a lot. Never a problem.

Have they ever made a model that wasn't reliable? I'm not a big Glock fan (not a hater either.)

Have they ever made a model that wasn't reliable? I'm not a big Glock fan (not a hater either.) The .40 S&W models have especially had more issues than the other calibers/models. Glock pistols occasionally choke and puke here and there but no more than anything else, and probably less than many others. Glock isn't infallible, but they're pretty darned good.
