Shooting a 19 today and had a failure. Spent brass was backwards, parallel to the slide. It was wedged between the barrel and slide (I'll try to provide a picture by tonight). The slide could not go back into battery because of this. It was around the 3rd cartridge fired. WWB ammo and newish factory 15rnd mags. Don't think it was limp wristing as I shoot mine without issues. The spent brass has a scrape mark on the side, like the ejector scraped it or something. I'll try to post that as well ASAP. I hope I described the problem well enough, without having the pictures posted. Any idea?

"as I shoot mine without issues"
So you were shooting a rental or a borrowed gun?Comment

A G19 failed!!!
Im gonna take a guess and say its an extractor issue? OR maybe underpowered round?"A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed."

Gen 3. I'll post a picture of my grip also when I get home, but it's a thumbs foward grip. Family member's 19. Has just under 1k rounds and made in 2010 I believe. Gun was cleaned and lubed before firing.

It's a cousin's gun and he said he had 1 stovepipe during the first 200 rounds. Not a malfunction since. Those were with factory 10 round mags using PMC FMJ's. According to him, it's the only instance up until now. I've had a stovepipe as well the first time I took my 19 out too, but I was shooting reloads and a different mag if that matters any. Thanks for the input so far, I appreciate it. Still working on pics - need to get on my computer at home.
* to elaborate, during My stovepipe when MY 19 was new, the mag used was a different one in question as today's malfunction.
This glock is completely stock.

I've had several under powered rounds from WWB....just saying.
As long as she runs 100% with your choice of self defense ammo I wouldn't fret about it much. Plinking ammo is usually weak and especially if it was 115 grain, that would be the problem.May the Bridges I burn light the way.

Welcome to the club, should be a known issue by now
I'm waiting for the Apex extractor (lone wolf makes a replacement one too).
That or ship back to Glock, they might fix it.Comment

I wish this thread was posted yesterday. Ran to wallyworld after work today to pick up 200 Rds of WWB for my Glock 19....
I am picking her up Sunday afternoon. I was excited but after reading this, total buzz kill. Well, you learn something new everyday.Last edited by INFAMOUS762X39; 08-17-2012, 8:46 PM.Comment

Everything I heard about the Glock prototype Apex Extractor has been great. Have the FSE on my M&P and it throws brass consistently 2 lanes over....sigpicComment

I haven't had any problems with WWB. Champion and UMC on the other hand...Comment

It may be an extractor problem, call Glock if it happens again. If you're interested in Apex's extractor it should be out in September some time.My opinions are my own and do not represent the position of other companies I may be involved with.Comment
