The new ejector is similar if not identical to the one in my G21. I am hoping for a big difference.The Freeholderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09989697995675652792noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6455819.post-26358147602925508092017-02-11T08:11:36.618-05:002017-02-11T08:11:36.618-05:00I had a Canik TP9SA that would eject brass to the ...I had a Canik TP9SA that would eject brass to the forehead. The fix on that particular unit was to bend the ejector (piece that kicks the brass located on the frame) a tiny bit. The glock should respond similarly since the design is very similar.nickt1yhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08845613357116375746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6455819.post-90705065610795518482017-02-04T20:53:25.810-05:002017-02-04T20:53:25.810-05:00Point: I'm no fan of Glocks, but it seems to m...Point: I'm no fan of Glocks, but it seems to me that any other major manufacturer would be more responsive to what is obviously a flaw in the manufacturing process.<br /><br />Point: I've had a couple of 1911's with very (shall we say) "Exuberant" Extractors/ejectors. None of them ever threw brass at my face ... which seems equally obviously a flaw in manufacturing rather than design.<br /><br />Point: I admit that I'm no gunsmith, so I can't point at either the extractor or the ejector, but it seems to me that the ejector might be more likely to be 'pointing' the arc of the ejected brass, than the extractor.<br /><br />Point: My Significant Other use to go to USPSA matches in summer wearing low-cut blouses; I pointed out to her that this may not have been her best-ever clothing choice in competition. It took about two hot brass disappearing down the front of her blouse to convince here to not wear a top that looks like a funnel to a lonely piece of brass.<br /><br />Point: All of my former friends were quite put out at me when she quit wearing scoop-necked blouses. I will not comment on the best way to make a burn-owies "feel all better".Jerry The Geekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16181610016755426448noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6455819.post-60112147564117375812017-02-04T20:45:22.957-05:002017-02-04T20:45:22.957-05:00Two of my three Glocks have BTF syndrome.

In both guns, it gradually decreased by the 500 round mark. After that I occasionally still get 1 round of BTF every hundred rounds or so. <br /><br />After calling Glock and getting similar results, I have decided to just not buy any more Glocks. My Springfield XD subcompact is a nice medium between the Glock 19 & 26 and there are plenty of other brands out there that stand by their product with a less pretentious customer service experience.
