New Gen 3 Glock 19 FTE

[HammerStriker]

So I purchased a new G19 Gen 3 and have had 3 FTE in ~200 rounds. I grip pistols firmly, so don't think its "limp wristing" induced. Have never had a malfunction with my G17 (over 700 rounds). Factory ammo was used (WWB, fiocchi, Remington UMC). Pretty sure the malfunctions were with WWB and Remington ammo. Not sure what to make of this...

Might be time for an Apex extractor.

Have someone else try, to eliminate anything that could be you

I have a slightly different take. For a defensive pistol, the gun should run if you hold it one or both hands, firmly or loosely.

GJM, what is your opinion on Glocks and limp wristing? Do you think caliber matters?


I do agree, the gun should work regardless of how strongly it’s held.

True but screen names don't mean much and there could be a user issue regardless of gun

Some pre Gen 5 Glocks sprinkle brass all over, making it at times painful to wear a short sleeve shirt. Gen 5 Glocks throw the brass out a country mile. Just spit balling, but the weaker the extraction/ejection, the more important grip is. Pretty sure Randy Lee installed the first Gen 3 Apex extractor in my wife’s FDE 17, fixing her reliability issues.

It used to be, if you wanted to carry a Glock, you put up with weak extraction. Between Gen 5 pistols with the breach face cut, or an Apex in Gen 3/4 pistols with weak extraction, you don’t have to put up with weak extraction with a Glock.
If I had one that wasn’t reliable, I would fix it or send it down the road, and replace it with one that ran.

Have you noticed any difference between Gen 5 9s and .40 ejection wise?

I agree a defensive pistol must run one or two handed limp or not.

Did you lube the gun prior to shooting it?

Both eject great and I believe it is because of the breach face cut in the Gen 5 pistols, starting with when they added forward serrations.
