Did they finally achieve perfection on the fifth try?

Let me know when they're light-years ahead and I'll buy one.  ;)

Well, it's light-years ahead of the 1911 and it's other competitors.  Just miles ahead of previous Glocks =)

Because of my eye sight I haven't competed indoors for a couple of years.  Today I took my robo-eyes and shot in a GSSF indoor league.  The gen5 g17 grouped well and I didn't do too bad.  494/500.

For those who know the scoring it means I had 3 in the B zone. Two of those were at 15 yds when I let myself get distracted by the shooters next to me.

 Not having shot PAR times in a while, I practiced the cadence over the last couple of days and felt comfortable with my speed. 

I've got until next month to practice on and maybe finally hit 500.

A fraction of a fraction of an inch of finger more or less shouldn't cause the gun to lock up.   I just assume all Glock users have this problem but are blinded by the Cool-aide.
Alf, not all Glock users have this problem. If they did, sales would have stopped in 1987. Have you tried a different trigger bar? (any gen3 or gen4 trigger for a 9mm, 40 or 357 will work)
The safety tab on your original may have some excess flashing present that binds it up...don't know.

I have tried to love my gen4 G34 but it just isn't happening. Another pound added to the trigger pull with the gen 4s isn't something I wanted so I used a GSSF gun certificate to order a gen 3 replacement.
All my gen 4s are going away.   

Hope your peepers are functioning OK!!

Eyes are doing well.  I had my optometrist make me custom progressive reading glasses.  20/15 at the top third and 2.5 readers on the bottom. 

There were many options to fix my gen4, but I only shoot the Glock in GSSF matches and they're suppose to be unmodified (sights and grip tape excluded). 

Maybe a little filing/polishing might have fixed the problem.

I've got to address the front sight haze myself w/o glasses. I made the dumb mistake of wasting $$ on single vision glasses thinking I could use them for shooting. Well I can - for shotgun! Pistol sights are just an un-recognizable blob.
Come to think of it, I haven't parked my eyes behind a scope with the new glasses. Have to find out how that is going to work.

GSSF allows ANY factory Glock part. You can put in a smooth faced trigger, polish the rubby parts, add a "-" connector...all are still factory parts. If you want to try a different trigger for free, I have some factory ones laying around gathering dust since I switch all mine out to smooth faced.
"Trigger freeze" is  something I absolutely would not tolerate even in a 'range only' gun.

On Edit: Sorry I wasn't more clear in suggesting another trigger. What I *should* have said is "have you tried another Glock trigger", not an aftermarket.

They can change feel with different guts in them, even if those guts come from the same plant. Might be tolerance stack, different machine or mold, some come with a trigger fairy -> others get a troll.

re: shooting glasses... over the years, I've tried a variety of options, prescription up/down, poly carbonate, inserts, none of which worked well for me... those that worked the best for pistol (open sight) were mono vision with my near vision prescription only in my dominant eye, and bifocal in non dominant, with the partition line moved up 2mm... since switching to PCC I shoot with my regular bifocals as I actually see a round dot (I have pretty bad astigmatism) with the Vortex SPARC with the distant upper portion... I'm good to about 18yd when we shoot a 2 gun match (carbine/pistol) with the pistol, but have to lift my head for any precision distant pistol shot
