Soft ejecting shells.

[Lightsped]

I have an 2nd Gen Glock 24c. This gun is all stock and not changed in any way. The gun was produced in the late 80s or early 90s. I am unsure of a round count.

Anyways, I noticed when firing this gun that the shells are not ejecting as far as my other Glocks. During this range trip I experienced no FTF or FTE so the gun is running very well. I was just concerned as to why these shells are ejecting so much softer than the other Glocks.

Any ideas? Thanks

I see you live in a city in our state that understands freedom and constitutional rights.

All of my Glocks eject differently and many times it's a result of the particular load I'm working on. Actually that can be said for most of my semi autos.

Honestly, if your gun runs consistently and reliably, I'd do nothing but shoot it. It may develop problems one day, but it's just as likely not too.

After a conversation or two with the boys in Smyrna, their opinion was pretty much if the empty leaves the chamber, the gun is doing its job effectively.

Nothing to worry about as long as they are ejecting. Just part of the "character" of this particular gun.
You think Glocks do things differently from other Glocks, try a few 1911s some time.

It might simply mean -- if the gun once ejected more forcefully -- that the recoil spring has softened a bit. As long as it functions as intended (ejects the spent casing and chambers the next round), there's really no reason to do anythng,

If the gun has, since first acquired, always acted like this (i.e., it's not a recent change), it is what it is, and it's working properly.

Purchase a backup recoil spring.

It's normal. The enormous, heavy slide and compensated barrel reduce the felt recoil but also slow the slide velocity, causing weak ejection compared to a standard model.

Good point -- I read, but didn't really pay attention to the "24c".
