| Howdy guys. I recently bought a used 17. I'm kinda new to pistols, and I've got a question. I took it to the range the other day and noticed a potential issue. It did not seem that the brass was ejecting with as much force as it should. My friend was there shooting his glock 22 and it just slung the brass way out there. I was wondering if there might be a problem with my gun. Thanks for your help! |

Quoted:
Replace the extractor depressor plunger spring and spring loaded bearing.Might be a good time to replace all the springs. Good call. And make sure the ejector is in good shape, not broken or bent unusually. Extractor istelf should be good to go if it's yankin' cases out. Glockparts.com has always served me well. Alot of gunstores stock those parts as well. Call around or order.

A G-22 should sling the brass further than a G-17. Basicly the same gun and recoil spring, but the .40 has much more recoil = more ejection force.
If you need your brass to travel further, you could get an aftermarket guide rod and a 15 or 13 pound recoil spring. The extractor spring will not have any effect on ejection distance. Unless you are having failures to extract, it will do nothing. With a new recoil spring, your brass may land even closer, but who cares? If you want to replace all the springs, go ahead, not a bad idea on a used gun, but don't expect any major differences. BTW, there's nothing wrong with your gun. |
