Glock 19 fixed

[351 WINCHESTER]

Some of you will remember my original post about my late gen 3 Glock 19 "choking" sending brass to my face, eratic ejection and stovepipes.

I sent it back to Glock and it was not fixed.

I sent it back the second time and they replaced the ejector with number 30274 and possibly replaced the extractor. They will not tell me what they did to fix it. I do know they shot it because they drifted the rear sight slightly to the right and it now shoots to poa.

I shot 16 rounds today with normal ejection and no problems. Accuracy is scary as I don't claim to be a good pistol shot, but this pistol is very easy to hit with.

FYI Glock paid all shipping.

Good customer service, but they will never admit they made a mistake.

First time i've heard of a glock going back to the factory. I've heard of having them send replacement parts, but not going back.

Glad to hear they fixed the problem. Sorry to hear it took two trips.

Ruger didn't tell me what the problem was when I had to send my mkiii back. Just something vague like "parts replaced/adjusted. Test fired."

They didn't make a mistake, it was just less perfect before. Now, it is more perfect.

Occasionally, perfection requires a bit of tweeking.

You must not have been listening, then.

There has been a lot of internet chatter about problematic 4th gen and late 3rd gen guns, which generally seem to be tied to poor QC on the MIM extractors and/or ejectors Glock has started using. Its gotten to the point that a lot of fans of the brand are being put off buying recently manufactured guns.

You havent lived until youve had hot brass eject onto the top of your head and stop dead in your hair!

Im surprised they didnt tell you what was wrong, although i suppose in some sense thats admitting they screwed up somewhere.
