Why would casing eject fine during most of the mag and then on slide lock the casing would either come staight back towards my head or just fall out of the gun. My gun started doing this the other day, and does it about 25% of the time on slide lock. The rest of the time the casing come out with a nice high arc around the 4 o clock position.
The gun in question is a Gen4 G17 with all the updated parts installed. The gun has way better ejection since I changed the ejector and extractor, but the slide lock ejection issue just started showing up after a couple of hundred rounds after the changes were made. |

I wonder if this is still a symptom of poor extractor tension? I know that most of your issues were resolved with the upgraded parts, and I'm not saying your gun won't run or isn't reliable. The last round fired out of the magazine does not have the additional upward pressure of the next round to be loaded pressing upward on the empty case as it is extracted backward during the slide's rearward travel under recoil. So that last round is almost floating there, requiring almost entirely extractor tension to hold it in place until the ejector hits it to eject it (like shooting one round out of the chamber with no magazine inserted––isn't that some sort of extractor tension test for 1911s?).
Just thinking out loud... |
