Glock 19 failure to eject.

[el_clingon]

I took my new Glock19 to the range and put 200 rounds thru but I had about 10 plus FTE. I put 100 rounds of Federal 115 gr aluminum casings, 50 rounds of 115 gr America eagle and 50 rounds of reloads from the range. I did have a light mounted on it thinking that was causing the FTE so I took it off and still had the same issue. Has anyone had this issue before.

limp wristing?

limp wristing?

or very dirty chamber from the reloads and some galling from the aluminum.

i am used to shooting .40 but when my buddy and i went shooting yesterday, i shot his 19 and i found that i was allowing the muzzle to rise (limp wrist) because I am used to a certain amount of recoil. any chance you are used to firing a hotter round?

[Tripper]

No, nobody has EVER had FTEs with a glock 19
A while back I tried some aluminum ammo, had numerous FTEs, went back to Winchester white box and whatever the reddish box stuff is, no more problems

Limp wrist

[el_clingon]

No I was not limp wrist. I had my second glock19 and it had no issues with the same ammo.

Stiff recoil spring. Since you have two G19, swap the recoil spring to see if the FTE transfer to your other gun.

Good point. I did not think about that. I'm going to take it again next week but this time I will use 124 gr. Ammo and u will swap out the spring.

Glock 19/gen4 with about 3500 rounds through it. Brass Aluminum and Steelcased ...
Not one issue as Yet...

Sorry but doesn't surprise me. They are known to have that issue. Good luck finding the problem and hope you can trust it.

[el_clingon]

this is the first time it has been to the range with the first 200 rounds, so it is a new gun and i'm thinking it does need a break in period. I have had a G17 and i have another G19 with 2000 rounds and never had this issue, and i have never heard of glocks have a lot of issues, so i am hoping it needs a break in period.

I thought I read that the followers for the 10 round mags were much worse than the ones for the 15 round capped to 10. Which mags and which followers do you have?

[ElDub1950]

Shoot 500 rnds of good quality 124gr or 147gr ammo and you'll be just fine after that.

Check the ejector angle to your other one, check the extractor, you can even switch extractors with your other 9mm. This is rare, but probably easy to fix. Glocks will shoot anything type of casing/bullet without problems, except a improper sized reload.
