I have a newer Glock 43X with around 1000 rounds through it. I have had three failures to eject, all in the same way. I have attached a picture below, it’s not mine and it’s a completely different gun and caliber, but it’s the closest thing to show what actually happens with my 43X. The ammo that I was shooting is 115gr Blazer Brass. Any advice?

Things to look at:

From Glock Armorer's Manual:

Observed Problem: Failure to Eject or Erratic Ejection (including stove pipes)

Probable Causes:

1. Underpowered ammunition
2. Shooting with an unlocked wrist
3. Lack of lubrication
4. Dirty chamber
5. Dirty gun
6. Broken or damaged ejector

These are not exclusive. At least a good place to start "trouble-shooting".

Suggestion - try different ammo first (i.e. 124gr or 147 gr)

New(er) pistol?
Inspect ejector closely.
Field strip & lube, then grip the 43x more firmly

I use Blazer Brass 115 gr. 90% of the time at the range. Have not had a single failure with my 43X and close to 3,000 rounds through it. The first place to start is grip and limp wrist. You might just be doing it sporadically and not even realize it.

3/1000 = .003 or

99.7% reliability or near perfect. Which is damn good, and not worth chasing down, otherwise you will lose training to do failure drills. That's also damn good for cheap range ammo.
