I just got off the phone with Glock technical support. They have no timeline on the new ejector being available anywhere except in-house. They aren't even available to certified armorers right now.

I think it's a perfect storm of poorly made MIM parts (extractors) and the various demons induced by the new RSA design changing the slide's velocity/timing. Glock changed too many things at once but given the many hacked-on-frames older Glocks out there with no problems, I'd say it's the simplest explanation - the RSA redesign.
My brain is going to explode trying to keep up with everything you have to update or replace to get a Gen 4 Glock and some Gen 3 Glocks running as reliably as they used to.
Anyone know the part # for the new ejector in .40? Are they available anywhere?
I can tell you for a fact as a port-sider myself, I am not exempt from the same ejection issues, unfortunately. I shoot G22/G23 Gen4's with hand-loads and factory brass...all being mostly 180gr. It seems the hotter the load, the worse the problem....dinged in the forehead by my damaged brass with caved-in case mouths. Does the new ejector (Trigger Mechanism Housing w/ejector .40 cal Gen. 4 - 1 @ $9.95 from GlockParts) resolve this issue? Frankly, I'd be OK w/ taking a case to the head once in a while if it stopped damaging my brass severely.
