I switched out ejectors on all my gen3 Glocks with the 47021 ejector. It helped all of them but one. The one it didn’t help I’m going to change out the extractor with a lonewolf extractor. I have two different lonewolf extractors. One is kind of pricey at the now prices of $50. I recently ordered two of their cheaper ones at the price of $18. I will try the cheaper one first. Here’s the cheaper one which should be here in a couple of days-

And this is the more expensive one-

 

Before spending a lot of time and money trying different parts try replacing the LCI Spring loaded bearing with a Non-LCI one .
That change alone made a major change in my Gen. 3 Glock's ejections .

 

Just order a Trigger Mechanism Housing part number 47208 which should have the 47021 ejector. Put the new ejector in your gen3 Trigger Mechanism Housimg and see if that helps. The 47208 TMH is around $10.

Thanks guys! One thing I neglected to mention is that I’m retired LE, and our department has very strict standards as to what they will approve for off duty or retiree’s to carry. Essentially, I cannot install any aftermarket internals or modify trigger pulls, safety features, etc. If the gun comes from the factory with a loaded chamber indicator, which would be considered a safety feature, I can’t replace that or have it replaced, unless of course I send it back to the manufacturer and they replace it. Basically gotta stick with Glock OEM parts. Pretty sure I could replace a Glock ejector with another Glock ejector, just curious if those who have done so have seen any reliability/feeding issues after a thousand rounds or so?

 

So far I have not had any reliability issues after changing the ejector out.

 

Oh, you said Erratic ejection! Sorry.
Kind of like tiny pianist.

 

Here a link for that TMH in stock at the moment.

Hmm, while I’m waiting for a reply from Glock, I just might order that gen. 5 TMH so it’s on the way. Won’t void the warranty by tearing into the gun just yet though...

 

If it were me, I would at least order that TMH while they are instock. There was a thread not too long ago where someone was looking for some and struggled to find them instock. Also, if by chance the New ejector doesn’t fix the issue, you could order an oem extractor and see if the combination of the two might fix it.

 

Toy or weapon?
Wear a hat when training. Don't have exposed cleavage when training.
Think that your targets are eating or attacking your kids/wife/parents/dog.

Ignore the ejections-- if you know where they are going, you are not focused on the problem. Cases reliably exiting out of the chamber is all that matters.

 

I remember reading many years ago that Glock suggested wearing a hat with a bill. Might have been in a manual.

I did not say to replace the LCI extractor . Just replace the spring loaded bearing .
The Non-LCI bearing will just put a little more spring pressure on the LCI extractor

 

I have swapped out all of my Gen 3 336 ejectors with the Gen 4 30274 ejector and have not had any reliability issues. And if you have to stick with the LCI extractor, you can try the non LCI spring-loaded bearing to see if that helps.

And you can use a Gen 4 trigger housing in a Gen 3 frame by cutting the bottom tabs on the G4 housing off. You can see in the photo below where to make the cut. This mod works fine and is popular with the Polymer 80 guys.

 

This post is 8 years old, but this is how I diagnosed a new G19 with ejection problems. Serveral have polished their MIM extractor to get better ejection.

650 round test, non dip extractor causing BTF

https://www.glocktalk.com/threads/650-round-test-non-dip-extractor-causing-btf.1450148/

 

I’m reading your thread from awhile back and I have a question. I’m a little slow so I hope I can understand your answer. What is a dipped or non dipped extractor?

 

Here a link for that TMH in stock at the moment.

Wow, already sold out!

 

It functions right?does it matter which direction the brass goes?

 

Ive seen hot brass go down the front of male and female competitor shirts during a run. Not fun at all.

 

CCIMAN, this gun will replace the gen 2.5 model 27 I’ve been carrying nearly every day for 25 years. It’ll be and EDC defensive weapon. I can live with the ejection issues, but it just bugs me.
Ken, sorry, I misunderstood your suggestion. Now it makes sense.
I blew it and didn’t place my order soon enough for that part. Guess now I’ll have to wait till they’re back in stock.
Thanks again guys!

 

Well the gen 5 ejector is out of stock, but the gen 4 still appears to be available. I wonder how that would work?

 

The Gen 4 ejector will work just fine. That is what I am running.

It actually does matter which direction the brass goes. As others have said, it is no fun getting hot brass down your shirt. And it is no fun having the infamous Brass To the Face either.

I compare it to shooting the M16A1 left handed while I was in the Army. I always had hot brass hit me or go down my shirt when shooting the A1. That problem was fixed with the A2 just like using a Gen 4 or Gen 5 ejector instead of the Gen 3 ejector fixes the problem of BTF.

 

Papa Glock, thank you for your very kind offer, but before I saw that I went ahead and ordered the gen 4 part. I also just received a response from Glock that someone from the warranty department will be contacting me today or tomorrow, so I’ll see what they say. The last time I sent a gun back to Glock for repairs was well overr 25 years ago, so it’ll be interesting to see what the shipping procedure is now.
Thanks again, and I’ll keep ya’ll posted!

 

I have four glock 26s, all generation 3 made over a period of about 20 years. The last two had brass to the face. The 47021 ejector installed in those last two G26s provided ejection much like two earlier G26s with the 336 ejector. That is not great but acceptable. This is cheap easy fix. The ejectors pull right out of the housing.

 

Here is a Gen 3 ejector #336 next to a Gen 4 ejector #30274. I don't have the Gen 5 ejector otherwise I would have included it in the photo.

I got this picture from somewhere here on glocktalk awhile back-

 

Got a response from Glock today. They suggested finding a certified armorer in my area and having them look at it. Said they would send any needed parts to the armorer free. Or I can send it back to Glock, and they said they would forward the shipping information. Closest armorer to me would be Reno, which is 40 minutes or so away. Not sure if preserving the warranty is worth to much, since I’ll void it anyway when I take the dremel to the trigger guard and remove that nasty hump, like I did on my trusty 27. Of course that won’t be till next June, when I qualify with it and start carrying it. Since I already have the 30274 ejector ordered, it would be easier to just do it myself...

.... and polish the extractor ;-)

 

So the part of the extractor that you are polishing is the ridges to the right of the photo, which apparently ride contact the frame?

 

I stole this pic from Buckshot from the thread he posted on page one. I believe this shows where to smooth out a bit-

 

You know the first thing I worry about when polishing any part on a carry gun is that it makes it looks like it’s been, well, polished, or messed with. Then I look at the G27 that’s been carried concealed nearly daily for 25 years. I’d be hard pressed to find an external part on that gun that has much finish on it, and it get’s approved by the armorer every year...

 

Brand new? Less than 200 rds? Glad you have ammo to put it through its paces. Call Glock. They will more than likely have you ship it back and they will fix it probably pay for your shipping too.

 

Well I did have ammo. Used the last of my factory stuff on this little gun. I got the scoop from Glock, and yes I can send it back, but I have to pay shipping to them. Looked into that and I’d have to box it and take it to the closest actual UPS distribution center, which is almost an hour out, one way, then it can’t be shipped via ground, only air, and must be insured. No big deal if it were someplace I would normally go anyway, but it’s pretty out of the way. Really tempted to just fix it myself...

Depends, if it hits you in the eye and your not wearing glasses it could be bad.

 

My 2010 production G26 exhibited that erratic ejection issue. (Unlike my '04 production G26.)

While there was a small burred edge on the outside of the extractor slot, after discussing the issue with Glock a few times I finally resolved the issue. As an armorer I'd received new revised Gen4 9mm ejectors, and Glock sent me some new extractors and a new RSA. The right combination of those 3 parts finally got that G26 running similarly to my older one ('04 production).

Previously, my older G26 would only occasionally exhibit erratic ejection on the last round (when there wasn't a "next" round in the mag to be positioned below the empty case being extracted), but that newer G26 would exhibit it at unpredictable points in different points during any magazine load, and it didn't matter whether I was using standard pressure, +P or +P+ duty ammunition.

I eventually sold that second G26 to another instructor/armorer, because he really wanted one of the green framed G26's and couldn't find one, so he talked me into selling him mine. I explained the corrective actions I'd done to address the original erratic ejection, and that didn't bother him (being a Glock armorer, himself, among other armorer certifications). He's remained pleased with its functioning, and he's a heavy shooter with all his guns.

I haven't tried the latest revised ejector for the Gen5's, myself, but I have no doubt Glock engineers decided it was a beneficial revision in the evolution of their design.
