N1vram Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 I recently purchased my first glock a gen 4 g20. I've got about 100 to 150 rounds thru it. I've noticed every so often a round will eject and hit me in the head or fly just over my head. Is this normal? Does the gun need to "break in"? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaycwebb Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 My Glock 19 did this for a bit when it was new. Stopped after a few hundrew rounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll get the round count up and see if stops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CB45 Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 Glock Perfection! I hear this is common with Gen3, but not so much with Gen4. Glocktalk forum may have answers for you.' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuck in C Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 I just got a Model 41 (long slide .45) and it's ejecting straight back; if I wasn't wearing a hat the brass would hit me dead center in the middle of the forehead. I've been shooting Glocks since 1995 and I've never had one do this before. I hope it stops because its good at inducing a flinch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fwrun Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 On jimreed's post you can see my reply on the process I took. I didn't have to fit the extractor at all, and I actually ended up with two extractors for the price of one by the time it was all said and done. Apex has great customer service, and they are the only solution I know of that completely rids these new Glock's ejection issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
