I picked up a used Glock 19( 3rd Gen) awhile back. I also have a Glock 17 (2nd gen.) that I bought new. Using the same loads in both guns the 17 will toss all the brass out to 3 to 5 o'clock position about 10 to 15 feet away.
I am using 120 gr lead handloads at ~ 1000 fps and also 115 gr JHP's at ~1150 fps. This is the same with CCI Lawman 115 FMJ and Federal 115 FMJ. The 19 on the other hand will sometimes eject to the 3 to 5 o'clock position but also directly at my face and even sometimes throws them to the opposite side of the gun, meaning the 9 o'clock position. I was shooting over a chrony today and all the velocities were within 30 fps of each other so there are no light or way overpressure loads causing this. The rounds that go to the 9 o'clock position just barely get out of the ejection port and go up maybe 1 to 2 feet and drop straight down. Any ideas what could be causing the problems??? |

You mention it's used - did some bubba try to "straighten the bent ejector"? A Glock 9mm ejector should have a sharp bend at a shallow angle from left to right when looking down on the top of the frame.
Failing that, a broken or worn extractor, or worn extractor depressor spring or binding extractor depressor plunger could be to blame. |

It just occurred to me that a buddy of mine has this same problem. I don't know if it's because he's limp wristing as he has had no problems on any other gun besides his G19. If I recall, he gets brass sent regularly sailing over his head, towards his face, generally scattered around the gun. Some of the brass gets ejected to the 3-5 o'clock, but some of the ejected brass barely clears the gun. |

Fixed it. I detail stripped the upper, cleaned it well, and hit the extractor and breech face with a felt tipped dremel and some Flitz. Shells all fly to the right now 3 to 5 o'clock postion. Guess mine's in for a deep cleaning then. Glad you got it fixed.
