Once ejection is consistent, ejector tuning decides where the round gets kicked out. I personally believe a better ejector that kicks the case out a desired path along with an extractor mod is the answer. Not cutting the ejection port down to "get it out of the way". I never like hearing "void your warranty" is part of the solution either, and I don't know of many people that do.



This is my guess as to why the issue persisted for so long. The solution was not to simply drop-in replacement parts as Glock owners have been able to do for so long to get things working again. In this case, even replacement parts are out of spec and troubleshooting needed to be done.







I personally have nothing more than curiosity invested. My G35 has served me flawlessly as all of my guns do after I take them apart and make them right.



Seeing the Apex part prove itself head on amongst the competition is something I would like. This doesn't sound unreasonable since a void warranty is a concern with the Apex route.

What I am offering is a before and after approach of drop in parts and the results will be recorded. I am NOT having the ejection port lowered for this video, others chose to have it done after Glock was unable to remedy the problem and wanted a working gun now! This is my 8th Glock, my 3rd G19 and the only one that has had ejection problems so often. No warranty will be voided with the parts I am using as I can install the factory parts at any time.





Again, why are you bringing 1911's into this again? It is NOT relevant here as there has been many guns with extraction and ejection problems, so don't put words in my mouth saying that the problem is unique. Is there a dozen smiths that can fix these problems for a 1911? Yes

That is not the case with the Glock's problems right now.

Do you chase them around and tell them who the first gunsmith was to fix it? If you don't like what's in this thread or the possible solution than pound sand, I do not care. Others like myself are interested in this solution and willing to see the results. If you want to do a comparison than feel free and post the results, I don't have the time to do so. All I'm doing is trying to fix my gun, whether you want to watch is up to you.



BTW, lowering the ejection port is a service provided by many top gunsmiths, I assume they do it for a reason

"The slide was bordered, ejection port lowered and flared, the mag-well beveled, and true to the retro theme a custom grip safety was shaped and blended to the aluminum frame to give just the right meld of old school look and modern user friendliness."
