Lowering the ejection port fixed my Gen 4 M19. Free the extractor from binding and you let it properly grip the case, which means it can hit the ejector consistently, which means consistent ejection.With the new ejectors, you will note that they all have relatively large, flat faces for the case to strike. If it can't properly grip the case, it can't control the case to consistently hit the ejector, which results in erratic ejection as the case hits the ejector in random ways. With the slightly oversized extractor, it is not free to move in the slide cut as it should, which means that it can't properly grip the cartridge case. Removing very small amounts of metal seems to bring the extractors back into normal tolerances, solving the problem. I also fired a box of Tula brass cased ammo that I had bought from Wal Mart a few years ago in my BBHB serial number prefix G17, and ejection was all over the place! The only brass cased ammo I have fired in it has been Gold Dot ammo, and I don't recall ejection like I saw yesterday.įinally, a few reported removing a very small amount of metal from the pad immediately behind the extractor claw and that, also, solved the problem.What seems to have happened is that when Glock went to MIM extractors, somehow the dimensions of the extractor got screwed up and some appear to be slightly oversized. I checked yesterday, and all my 9mm Glocks have the 336 ejector. I like the guns but hate the company and their business model and this is one reason that I am dumping Glocks.Bub75. They never tell the general public about the revisions and, if you call to complain about an issue, the techs will, almost to a person, tell you that the problem is unusual, they have never (or rarely) heard of it and that you will need to send the gun in for inspection, even if it is a known issue like the erratic ejection problem. However, in typical Glock fashion, they refuse to acknowledge it and quietly revise parts to try and solve it. They all eject reliably, but they aren't as consistent as everyone likes to make out.The continuous ejector revisions tell me that Glock knows they have a problem. The earliest were blued, then they were flash-nickeled and later, from the late 1990's onward they will have an laser-engraved '336' instead of stamped as they were early-on. This model has been flawless for me since I bought it in '93, so I'm wanting to keep it as stock as possible (why I want to leave the original housing in there).Any links or leads as to where (and which ejector) to get a 9mm ejector for my gen 2, without paying for a stupid high shipping (since it could go USPS for almost nothing)?Thanks for any info/advice! Long story short, any '336'-marked Factory Glock 9mm ejector made from around 1989 to the present 3rd Gen 9mm will work in your 2nd Gen. It worked fine for years, and just noticed the increasing wear/chip on the ejector, so want to start there).Where can I get just the ejector piece for my gen 2? Are they the same as on Gen 3? I don't really want to replace the housing, just the slide in ejector (if it is slide in like a gen 3?). My Gen 2 Glock 19 has finally seen enough rounds to chip the ejector all to hell (getting brass to face now, as well.
