The only thing I'm aware of that's different on the current production gen 3 vs gen 3 G19s from say 3 years ago is the extractor. I'd like to think that one produced lately, like within the last couple of months would have the better extractor back in it. The ejector that came with my gun and...

Good catch. Should be extractor plunger. The plunger that pushes against the back of the extractor with the spring end touching the firing pin plate at the back of the slide. Long day man.

9mmHolePunch, I didn’t have a chance to try the ejectors side by side because the Glock techs threw away the “old” one that the pistol came with. However, prior to that the recoil spring assembly was changed from the 0-3 assembly I bought it with, to the 0-4-3 assembly Glock VP sent me. That...

It's not that I don't trust S&W, I just refuse to give them my money. It's also not that I don't trust Glock, but I don't trust my Gen 4, and until I see otherwise, I don't trust their current production guns. The older Glock 21 I have functions perfectly and it always has, but it's a bit on the...

I want to believe that they have worked the kinks out finally, but I don't like the idea that they used the market to do it. I would also like to think that the current production Gen 3 works like older production Gen 3 guns, but I don't know. The extractor Glock sent me for the Gen 4 doesn't...

The replacement magazine showed up today. So I think I can say things are finally how they should be. It took a while, but things seem fixed finally. The gun, from last weekend anyways, functioned as it should, and I have all my magazines again. However, I'm still not sure if I will be keeping...

I almost didn't send them a magazine either. They got plenty of them. On the off chance it was somehow part of the problem though I decided to go ahead and send them one, and I don't regret doing it. I do wish that I had gotten it back though. After having to deal with everything else, then...

Added pictures of the brass and a comparison to the same album I linked to before. It should be the same link, just in case its not: http://s1193.photobucket.com/albums/aa348/SGTDuffman/Glock%20Fixes/9-24-11/

Forgot to mention most of the case damage has also stopped. It still happens on some cases, but it is no longer the majority of the cases, and what does happen is significantly less than before. The scratched area is about 1/4 the size it used to be, and it no longer smashes in the case mouth...

Well I finally got out and shot the Glock with the "new" ejector in it. The ejector seems to have fixed the ejection problem. I didn't get hit in the head or the face the entire time, and nothing went forward or left. I fired 100rds of WWB 115gr FMJ, 50 rds of American Eagle 115gr FMJ, 50 rds of...

Should be able to finally get out and test fire the Glock tomorrow. The replacement magazine Glock said they would send on the 9th still has not arrived though. They said 5-10 business days, today was the 11th day, so I dunno. I still have 4 magazines to use, but it would be disappointing to...

Ya but the part number and code stamped on the part may not be synonymous. I think the numbers stamped on the Glock extractors are vendor codes not necessarily part numbers. That's the risk you take with aftermarket parts I guess, and why I'm hesitant to have aftermarket parts in a concealed...

Looks like a redesign to me. The Gen 2 had one very similar if not the same as the "old" one on the Gen 4, so I don't think it's an old design. This "new" one does not appear to have been ground or modified in any way, you can still kind of see the casting marks on the front of it in one of the...

The new ejector has a radically different profile from the old one. The old on was very pointed, and bent slightly towards the center line of the pistol. The new one is very blunted on the front and is twisted as well as slightly bent towards the center. I uploaded some pics and a real quick...

Got the pistol back today at 1120 PST. They shipped it back pretty fast. I think it was overnighted. It did come back missing the one magazine I sent it in with, but that's why I only sent one. I called Glock and they said they're sending a replacement, it should be here in 5-10 business days. I...
