I sent my gdn 3 19 to Glock as it was ejecting brass into my face and stovepipes. It came back with a target. I called Glock 3 times trying to find out what they did to my pistol. They told me they shot it 102 times (2 shooters), sighted it it??? I was told that it met their specifations.

Well folks it's still doing the same thing. Brass to the face and stovepipes. So much for Glock perfection and customer service.

It's going back to Glock next week as soon as they can send me a ppd. Fedex B/L.

If they can't fix it they can replace it with one that works.

I know I'm not the only one that got a bad one. I've heard of other's with the same problem. Apparentely the fix is a different ejector and possibly extractor too.
 
Factory ammo? My G19 used to stovepipe when my 8yr old shot it, with down powered reloads. One thing for sure, complaining about it on here aint gonna fix it!:evil:
 
We use the Glock 19 for our agency. 40 people, usually inexperienced, come through each year. They fire 2500 rounds the first week. We usually get between 0 and 5 misfires that week. They all seem connected to limp wristing. That's 100,000 rounds. Hang on to your gun.

I've never heard of anyone having the problems you're having.

We have no problem with Glock perfection, but can offer little experience with Glock customer service. We just don't know.

There is no proof that you "got a bad one." It may simply be the way you shoot. I can hold a glock in different ways and get brass to fly left, right, forward, or back in my face. Furthermore, there is no manufacturer who guarantees brass will fly out a particular way and if it is ejecting, it is working as intended. As for the first part of your quote, with an attitude like that I guess they could also exercise option three and tell you to pound salt just as well.
 
I called Glock and tried to order one of the new extractors and they wouldn't send me one. They also denied it was the fix for a Gen G19. I think they are too dumb and arrogant to admit they goofed and fix it the right way. There is a good chance my brass slinging G19 will be traded soon on a real gun that works like it is supposed to and good CS.

I found out the hard way that if you complain over on GT forum the fanboys attack you from every side. Their excuse for everything is limp wristing.
 
I have a Ruger sr9. It's been flawless, but I figured it was time for a Glock. In the meantime I'll be armed with my trusty k/t p11 (at least it ejects the brass to the right).
 
tip: If you hold the gun upright it'll eject to the right instead of straight up.

j/k My experience with Glock has been less than perfection as well. They're good but overrated IMO.
 
My gen 3 will some times spit brass at my forhead, but I've NEVER had a stove pipe, jam, or any other failure with about 1000 rounds through it. The later gen 3's are known to be erattic with ejection. The problem started with g19's made in late 2010 and acclerated in early 2011. Check and see when yours was manufactured. There is an extracter to correct this problem but glock is not currently using them to fix gen3's.
Head on over to glocktalk.com and browse around, you'll find many stories about erratic ejection. You'll also find some people are very satisfied with Glocks CS as they recieved gen 4's to replace them. Others you'll find havent fared so well with Glock CS as they are continuing to have trouble with later gen 3 19's, even after sending them back to the factory.
Best of luck.
 
I don't know what is happening to your gun, Sir. I'm not there. I just can't understand why we don't see that problem after seeing so many rounds go downrange year after year. If I were you, I would contact a local PD that uses Glocks. They will have more than one trained armorer on staff. Let them look at it. They will probably meet you at a range and shoot it with you. I know I would. They are certified to obtain all parts from Glock. The company does not make it a policy of mailing out parts to people who haven't gone through their armorers program and I can understand that. Get ahold of a local PD and see if a local guy can help you face to face.

As far as the limp wristing excuse. Sorry, that's usually the only reason we can find for Glock misfires. Once we address that problem, the issue goes away. Sorry. We're talking 100k rounds and less than a half dozen misfires. One time we went way over that number. Bad ammo. An entire case was screwed up. Happened once.

If it still has the "336" ejector they didn't fix it. It needs the "30274" ejector and possibly a new extractor. I'd call them back and ask to speak to the supervisor right away, tell him you want them to install the "30274" ejector in your Gen3 G19 and check the fit of the extractor because the gun is still throwing brass in your face after they supposedly "fixed it". Also ask for a prepaid shipping label.

It's a problem or Glock wouldn't be replacing extractors and ejectors.
 
Sounds like Glock is trying to fix it, he said he's waiting for a shipping lable. Why bash Glock when they're at least trying to fix it? Not a perfect world, guys;)
 
I have a Gen.3 Glock 19 (Dec.2009) that I got used.
Every range trip except the last one(yesterday) has been crazy ejection. Empties to the head,shoulder,left forearm and last rd. in mag barely dribbles out and lands at my feet.

Yesterday I fired over 200rds. and none of this happened. It ran great and all cases wound up in a small area about 4 ft. right and about 3 ft. back.

This was with the same mags,same ammo, same grip and same stance.

BEATS ME :confused:

Did you mean "malfunction?" If not, how would limp-wristing cause a failure to fire?
 
The same thing happens to my wife when she shoots the G34. She hates that gun:fire: I havent had a problem with it other than a few FTfeed in thousands of rds. Yes glocks will Jam:neener: every handgun known to man will if it gets used enough
 
Every time there is a problem with a malfunctioning Glock someone has to blame it on limp wristing. I'm having the same problem with mine and I can assure you, that is definately not the case. The ejectors are the problem and Glock refuses to admit it. They won't even sell you one of the 30274 ejectors if you happen to mention you have a Gen3 gun. It sounds to me like Glock is run by lawyers, not gun people.

Yeh Limp wristing is defined as event when the Sainted Perfection does not go off after trigger is pulled. It's ALWAYS fault of the shooter or the ammo used.:rolleyes:

Perhaps it's a problem on some guns, but not all? I'm not saying the OP's gun doesn't have this specific problem. But I wouldn't assume every new Glock needs these parts just cuz someone else on the interwebs has suggested it.
