Aside from the chronic fuckups of the 2010-2011 guns, I'm filing this under every company sends out a lemon.

You should have bought a Gen3 pre-2 years ago.
Glock has supposedly tinkered with the new Gen3's as well - probably all in the name of parts consolidation. FWIW - I own three G3 G19s (newest being purchased Jan 2011) ... not one issue in any of them Fix it, sell it, get a Gen2. ETA: Did you clean the copper colored lube off the gun or just shoot it? |
|
My opening line was a bit tongue in cheek. I got this yesterday in a good trade. I took it home, cleaned it, and lubed it with Fireclean.
This is about the 10th Glock I have owned. This is more proof that being a fanboy is stupid, all machines will fail, and Glock has screwed the pooch. ![]() |
|
Not saying it is the ammo or the shooter, but what brand ammo and weight bullet? Have you fired Glocks before?
|
|
M882 ball (124 grain +P)
I shoot every weekend. I have been in the firearms industry for a decade. This is roughly my 10th Glock. I am 6'5" and 250, so I don't limp wrist shit. I shot my PPQ with the same ammo today. It ran flawlessly, like usual. |
|
|
|
So anyway. I have a buddy with a new extractor we are going to try.

There is no correlation between your height/weight and limpwristing. If you aren't locking your wrist, you simply aren't locking your wrist. It has nothing to do with how big or strong you are. |
|
|
I got smacked by brass in the face twice, and saw it barely dribbling out of the ejection port another couple of times.
|

That gun may be fucked. Glock puts out a lot of half-assed stuff these days.
If you can't limp wrist it with M882, it's a piece of shit anyway. I can limpwrist the fuck out of all my 1911s and my M9 and my Glock 19s and they chug right along. Even with Wally World ammo. |

View Quote Which is why I decided to go with HK when I was in the market for a midsize poly gun. I LOVE my g21sf, it was my first gun and has never had a failure with countless rounds. But this is a gun that I got several years ago. Ever since Glock came out with the gen4's, they seem to be pretty hit and miss. I know no company is perfect, but Glocks modern qc seems to fucking suck. If I spend 500 bucks on a new firearm, I want it to fucking work. |

My two Gen 4 22s are flawless. View Quote IIRC all the gen 4 .40's have been good to go. I could be wrong, but I believe the gen 4 recoil mech was designed around the .40, and then they moved it to 9mm..which is why there are problems with them. Still doesn't explain the late gen 3 9mm fuck ups though. |

Well, OP, if it's any consolation to you, I don't think the newer SIGs have the build quality that the older ones did either. So it may not be only Glock with this problem.
I would not trade my older West German SIGs for new ones and I would not trade my older Glock 17 for a new one either. Actually, your post makes me somewhat happy - not because of your problems but because I decided to get a S&W M&P 9mm police trade in instead of a new Glock 19. Maybe I made a wise choice - for once in my life. Now if I could only find magazines for the damn thing. At least you can get Glock magazines. Did Glock dick up the extractors on the newest Glock 19s? |

View Quote I don't have any sigs...but I was always under the impression that the older sigs were prefered because they were carbon steel and balanced betters. The new ones, IIRC, are made of stainless, which is actually stronger to be able to hold up to .40/.357sig, but doesn't have the ideal balance. I have no idea which one has better fit and finish though between German made and US made. |

I had a 2012 vintage Gen 3 19 that did that every 20 rounds or so, beginning after about 200 rounds. POS.

Replace the extractor spring too. Heck, replace all the springs in the gun, they're cheap enough. Detail strip the slide too. It's remarkable how much crud builds up. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted:

It's remarkable how much crud builds up. I pulled it all apart earlier. Pretty spotless since it has a whole 150rds thru it. |

My Gen 4 G17 and G34 are flawless. Both are 2012 guns.
I took my G34 to a pistol course straight out of the box. No cleaning or lube and it ran 100%. I had a Gen 3 G17 also from 2012 that liked to lob brass at my forehead so I got rid of it. |

I shoot nothing but Glocks and have never had a malfunction, but I know they are happening now. It seems to be pretty minimal but it is happening on some newer guns. Can someone just produce a reliable handgun and not fuck with it? |

So.....
Apex extrator? New style ejector? Or throw, on fire, into Glock headquarters? |

I was put into contact with a regional armorer. He is sending me a huge bag of replacement parts.
Good customer service so far. |
|
I recommend you go ahead and put the Gen 4 ejector, the one with the 5 digit part number in it for good measure. It's cheap and easy.

Don't you have a Walther PPQ?
A thread on that would be more interesting. |
|
|
Uh, a stovepipe or two in the first 150 rounds with a new pistol is not a massive malfunction. If you have repeated issues after 700 rounds then you'd have cause to be upset. 700 rounds is what I would put through a duty/carry gun prior to carrying it. My Sig Pro had multiple FTF/FT go into battery in the first 200 rounds, Sig said put 400 rounds through it and call us back if still having issues. I think I only had one more FTF in the next 11,000 rounds. Go break your gun in. Glocks may not be what they used to be, but they, like all mechanisms, need breaking in.

Several years ago a Police Dept went to 9mm's...
The Glock 19 was recomended for Detectives, and other Plainclothes Officers. Most of these guys were revolver shooters, not experienced pistol shooters... SO many had functioning problems. I could take their Glock 19 and shoot 50 rounds with no problems. They couold not get through a single magazine with out a malfunction. The reason, they were "Limp Wristing" the gun. After some proper training their Glock 19's worked fine. Also "rumor' has it, that Glock changed to a lighter recoil spring for the 19's in the USA... Not saying that is your problem, but it is worth thinking about. |

Update:
A local Glock LE rep had the factory overnight me a new trigger housing/ejector (2 marked with 336 ejector), a new extractor (non dipped LCI), and extractor depressor plunger assembly. I threw them in the pistol and will shoot her tmw. |

I would still install a 30274 Ejector. I have never seen it fail to make a 9mm Glock eject better.

I could not get 3 full mags thru that little shitberg without a stovepipe, nose dive, or the slide locking back with ammo in the magazine. I drove it to Glock. The armorer replaced the extractor, recoil spring, ejector, slide stop, firing pin and spring, and replaced the two 9 round magazines. I put 200 rounds of ammo thru it and sold it disclosing all history to the new buyer for a heck of a deal, for him... I couldn't carry the pistol knowing all the previous malfunctions. M&P mags are coming back. You can get the 9mm mags @ 44mag.com for $60 each, ![]() |
