I started with my reloads, because that's what I shoot 99% of the time. Once the problems started, I tried a variety of factory ammo. The only one that consistently worked was Federal HST 124gr, my carry ammo. A little expensive for practice though.
I did contact Glock and got the limp-wristing run around. They did offer to look at it if I paid to ship it to them.
That's the odd thing LL, I do run my reloads a little warm. I'm into practicing with something that recoils close to my carry ammo. I run 124gr plated over 4.9gr of Unique which gives me 1090fps out of my 19. That's right at what the HST's chrono at.
I do note that Federal cases have a fairly pronounced rim, I wonder if that has something to do with it. I never sorted my brass, but I may try some "Federal brass only" loads and see if that does anything. May be a fun project.
I know you've tried everything, and in order - but have you tried the OEM extractor, OEM ejector, and the HRED? My problems in a Gen. II got WORSE with the Apex and the 30274, stoppages similar to yours at times.
Edit: And after that I would try a reduced power recoil spring... but that's just me.

Can someone remind me what the purpose behind polishing the ejector is? I am trying to fix the BTF I get with my older 3rd gen G19. Threw in an HRED that maybe helped some but I still get some BTF now and again with 115gr ammo. Was thinking of swapping the ejector next but want to see if I can make do with the stock 336 ejector.
The light polish is going on the extractor I believe, not the ejector. I think the purpose is just to prevent the extractor from binding in the slide during rotation.
In response to guy: I got rid of the 19 and picked up a 17. Runs like a top, and I'm finding that I prefer the slightly longer grip.
Luckily my 4th gen 17 has started with the BTF after 1149 rounds. Will see if the HRED fixes the issues as it did in both of my 4th gen 19's.
Look! Just because we're bereaved, that doesn't make us saps!
