New Glock 19 Gen 4 question

[Shenaniguns]

My gen 2 17 that was made in late 91 sometimes throws brass in my face. It doesn't do it any more or less than my other 2 gen 3's do. Haven't jumped on the gen 4 bandwagon yet, maybe next year.

I said consistently... An occasional bttf (once every couple hundred rounds) is not a problem and probably ammo related, having bttf every magazine and some times more than one time per mag is a problem IMO. Certain ammo is more prone to it than others and I'm over 600 rounds of testing Apex's revised prototype extractor and over 1,000 on my Gen 4 G19 for the 2 months I've owned it. I wish we had more before testing where I had bttf a dozen times, ejection straight up, to 3 o'clock etc but it was 112 degrees and the gun was too hot to handle.

This video is from 2 separate weeks of shooting and the goofing around at the end was mainly my buddies older 3rd Gen G19 where an occasional brass flies back at 6 o'clock but never hits him square in the face.

And a good article from Tim Lau on Glock's current extraction problems:

I do have reliable information that ALL GEN4 Glocks in 9mm are designed around NATO BALL and TYPICAL full power (including +P+) LE ammuniton.

We have MANY officers who buy other types off ammo to shoot in their GEN4 9mm Glocks and are having some issues.

Glocks GEN4 in .40 and .45 SEEMS to work perfect with ALL factory loads.

PS. Using Glocks for almost 20 years, I had the very best experience with GEN2 in 9mm

That's *** backwards IMO, I'll probably use a different recoil setup similar to the Gen 3 setup in the future.

Mine didn't like some Hornady stuff, not a big deal and I won't miss it since there is better practice and defensive ammo out there.

Totally agree....
