Question for Glock owners .40 .357 10mm

[ck475]

Ok so I am trying to figure out a failure to feed problem on my G32 (.357). With a loaded mag inserted into the frame with the slide off I noticed the underside of the ejector is touching/gouging the back end of the case and in some instances tilting the nose down of the cartridge just a tad and causing the top of the mag to slightly tilt forward. My BHP and Sigma have room to spare when this same test is performed.

Is it normal for a Glock to have an "interference fit" between the cartridge and the ejector? I'm really hoping that this is the problem. I have springs and followers coming from Glock that I don't think are going to solve the problem.


Thanks

First check the magazine, see if it is for the 357 sig. A straight column .40 mag will tilt a 357 sig round like you described

I have a converted G22, all my magazines for it are .40 mags... I've shot around 3k .357sig through it with out an issue like OP's (or any for that matter).



Definitely sounds like a magazine problem though.

They are the .357 gen 4 mags that came with the gun.

Capped mags ?

I also have a converted g22, barsto 357 sig barrel. I got it when the hi caps were still available. The staggard hicap 40 mags work fine.

What do you think guys? Should the case be touching the ejector with the mag inserted in the frame?

G29 with 8196-2 ejector. It's kind of an L curved, but cleared and not touching the casing at all.

G23 with 1882 ejector, taps. I just check, it does change the ammo angle just a bit. Mine actually is tapping the back of the casing, tilting it more upward.
If I push the ammo forward, and push it back it will not go back without force downward.

Both are Gen3, with factory 10 rounders Gen3 magazines.
No feed nor ejections to report about, and I feed .40sw through my 29 as well.


It's only a $10 part, and at your own risk maybe fit your ejector (with a file), since it's making it tilt down. Unless a Glock armor here advise you not to, for a good reason.
That how 1911's are done if they tap. I know on the 1911's they are not suppose to, or they will eventually break the ejector.
Glock is polymer cased ejector, so it might give some unlike the 1911 steel.

Sorry, good luck on fix, .357SIG are so fun to shoot, I just can't afford to shoot them regularly, but I have my 10mm .

Send it back to Glock would be an option.

Thanks for checking! I took it back to my dealer and we tested a 9mm and a .40 the 9mm had clearance but the .40 made very slight contact but were able to slide the case back under the ejector without pushing the cartridge down. The .357 wouldn't do that without pushing down and sliding it back under the ejector.

I would really like to know why the .40 and .357 require different shaped ejectors. Anyways it is going back to Glock for inspection so we will see.
