dmshozer1 Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 Glock 17, gen 3, one pin frame. Fired rd comes half way out of the chamber. Comes off the extractor. Does not eject. Next rd in the mag is trying to feed but is blocked by the half out of the chamber rd. How can I tell if I have the known "bad extractor and or bad ejector" shooters say have to be replaced. This happens about five times per 100 rds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaycwebb Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 (edited) 1- Try swapping around ammo and mags to isolate the problem to the gun. If you change ammo and mags and it still happens you know the problem is the gun.2- Do you have another glock upper you can toss on this trame? if so, you can figure out if the problem is located in the frame or slide assembly. How long has this been happening? What changed recently before it started to happen?I use these questions to (try) to solve almost all gun problems.

captain037 Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 Sounds like an extractor problem to me. I use a .40 extractor in my 9mm. It seems to have a little more area grabbing the case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fwrun Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 1. try the 30274 ejector (gen 4). If that still doesn't work, it's an extractor issue. Least fuss way guaranteed to work is to try an Apex gen 3 extractor, just make sure you use it with the 30274 ejector and non-LCI spring loaded bearing. Additionally, ANY issues with ejection pattern after the Apex install, and they will fix it for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mayonaise Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 How old is the recoil spring? Ammo type? check the extractor for chips. Do all this before monkeying around with parts for different models or generations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
