That's not the core problem with the Gen4s, other things got changed, too. I went through that whole debacle with the early Gen4 G17 and Glock fixed my whole gun. Like a retard I sold that gun. It was perfect once I got it back.

Wow, what a difference! ![[thumbsup]](/xen/styles/default/xenforo/smilies.vb/044.gif "Thumbs Up [thumbsup]")
Finished the $0.25 trigger job. I was a little more thorough than the video as far as making smooth, consistent surfaces- can't help being OCD about guns. Installed the NESr sourced Zev springs, greased the trigger bar / connector junction, & put it back together this evening. Pull is very smooth, with a clean and predictable break. Zero grittiness & pull weight is well below my 4.6 lb hang weight. I'll try the lightest Wolff spring once the Wolff kit delivers.
Thanks everyone!![[rockon]](/xen/styles/default/xenforo/smilies.vb/020.gif "Rockon [rockon]")
I'll post target pics when able.

Pre trigger job and new springs, I might have been able to keep shots on the splatter target, but they would have sprayed all over it. Below 'after' target shot from 50 feet. First 5 shots would have been quick enough to be NRA rapid fire, then the rest were basically a mag dump and fired even faster:

Actually, the 3 shots to the upper left were from the first 5. The replacement springs and 25 cent trigger job made a hell of a difference! OK, I do love the G34 now. Anything that can be this accurate when shot with reckless abandon is pretty cool. Note that the shots outside the splatter target were not mine.
So to pay it forward to my NES friends, here's a look at the components requiring some attention when completing the 25 cent trigger job. The youtube video was very nice and helpful, but there's a lot of off-topic banter that makes the video about 4X longer than it needs to be. Here are the cliff notes:

Clockwise from top-
-The tip of the safety plunger gets a light stoning and polish (red). Not called for in the video, but I went ahead and polished the rest of the plunger (blue arrows) so that it would ride smoother.
-Circled in red is the striker surface that gets a polish. The rest of the striker shaft (blue arrow) was a little rough, so I polished that as it moves under the striker spring which is now lighter than stock.
-The section of the connector marked in red should be stoned and polished. I forgot to mark it, but the tip of the "thumb" gets stoned and polished as well.
-The trigger bar has two places to stone and polish: the area circled in red, plus the opposite side of the tab indicated by the curved arrow.
-The area marked in light brown is where to apply some grease as mentioned by DCMDon. I used Mobil 1, same as I use for my match Garand.
Keep in mind that stoning should be done with a very fine abrasive stone. Only the high spots should be removed with the stone- you absolutely should not be changing any dimensions. After the light stoning, I used 'Blue Magic' metal polish, though probably any metal polish will work.

Three Gen4 G34s. No issues with feeding or accuracy on either. I polished the trigger on one, the other was fine stock.
I run Dawson sights. Tritium front, black rear. Dawson mag extensions and Ice magwell on them.

A range trip this evening confirmed that my feed issues are all from the same screwed up mag. I'll have to see if Glock will replace it. I'm going to try a fiber optic front sight and black-out the rear as DCMDon suggested. Posted a comparison to my 1911 10mm in another thread.
