Exactly. I bought a new Gen 3 G17 yesterday and it has the 336 ejector, as does my 2002 Gen 3 G19. The difference is that my G19 has never once hit me with a cartridge casing no matter what it was made of or how weak or powerful the ammo was. Every casing from the first magazine fired through my new G17 barely made it out of the slide, and the ones that didn't hit my wrist and forearm hit me under the bill of my cap. It got better after a few mags, but occasionally it would hit my forehead right under my cap. I had my wife shoot it after I had put about 120 rounds through it and the casings all ejected fine. I figured if it did anything it would when she shot it because she isn't a shooter, and she's not strong either. She has shot my RTF 2 G17 before and didn't have any issues. I don't know what ejector it has in it.
