Gen 3 26 erratic ejection question

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

 

So the dipped extractor is better?

 

Yes all those weeks in the burn unit recovering would be expensive

 

Yes, but you will not find one. They were phased out around 2012.

The very best extractor was the cast version made prior to 2009. No mold marks, little friction.

Better to just visually inspect your current extractor and polish if needed.

In 2012 we didn’t have the 47021 ejector. It helps a lot, even on a Gen 3. All my 9mm Glocks have 47021 ejectors now except my P80.

Great article on the 47021 ejector

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.

 

Thank you for your response.

 

Let me look at what I still have. Send me a PM of your address and I’ll send you one of my 47208 TMH with the 47021 ejector.

Edit- I have 4 of these TMH so I will send you one if you would like. Free!

I just took this picture-

 

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

 

These lonewolf extractors that I ordered, the less expensive ones,($16.99 a piece) say they are cast. From their website-

• Investment cast from A1 tool steel
• 
  
• 

 

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.

 

.... and polish the extractor ;-)

 

I’m going to inspect the one gen3 that the new ejector didn’t help. Thanks for that info Buckshot!

 

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