| Hey guys so I just got back from shooting my brand new Glock 19. I really like it. Minimal recoil. Anyways I shot 250 rounds and about 4 or 5 of those shells were ejected either at my forehead or right over my head. It seemed to be doing it off a fully loaded magazine. Now I read online that the G19 can do this and there are ways to fix it. I found that a Gen 4 ejector and a different extractor will work. This is a Gen 3 Glock 19 that I have if that helps. What do you think? |

Honestly. I think you should just keep shooting it instead of changing any parts out. If it is still bothering you when you hit 1,000 rounds or so with it, then maybe I would consider it. My gen3 magazine may have the occasional errant ejection, but I don't notice it. I agree. A friend of mine has a gen 4 19 that would throw brass into his arm/shoulder quite a bit for the first 500-1000 rounds. After that it's been fine. |

I do not understand why people are so anal about ejection pattern the empty goes out a new round is chambered what else do you need? I take it you've never had a gun that threw brass on you all the time. Getting hit in the head/face with brass sucks. Other than that I don't give a shit where it ejects as long as it runs reliably. |

I have a Gen 3 G19 as well and had problems with brass-to-face (BTF). During the first 360 rounds the pistol fired, I had 16 casings hit me right in the forehead, for a rate of 4.4%. I replaced the "336" ejector with a "30274" ejector, which is the Gen 4 ejector. I ordered the replacement ejector from Glockmeister and the swap was very easy. Since replacing the ejector, this gun has not hit me in the face with brass once. Not. Once. Current round count is 997. All of my empties eject to the 4 o'clock position and 4-5 feet. I consider my problem solved. Good luck.

I wouldn't say I was anal about my G19, but being left handed and shooting it and eating brass wasn't much fun. I actually benched the gun for quite some time after I did the 1000 round break in and still kept eating brass. After some time I got around to ordering the 30274 ejector w/ housing for the smashing price of eight bills, I couldn't be happier. It saved the gun from the trade in pile and is now a joy to shoot.

If these were low power rounds, and only a handful did that, I think it's good to go. Esp with good stuff in it. I noticed the blue box of PPU at Walmart ejected about 3 feet from the gun, the Federal maybe a foot from my foot. Ive only run 200rds of each through my new GEN4 19 but from chronoing the 45 loads that PPU stuff is pretty good especially the deviation. Just a suggestion from my observations on a very small data sample.
