Glock 19c problem
 

9mm Glock 19c, empties not ejecting, any thoughts?

Re: Glock 19c problem
 

Could be the ammo, could be the mags, could be the ejector needs some oil. Need more specifics to your problem.

Re: Glock 19c problem
 

I had a batch of S&B 9mm that I got a ridiculous number of failures to eject in. Maybe 30+ over 500 rnds. Had to pound a few out with a dowel. Some more info like Bx3 said, would be helpful.

Re: Glock 19c problem
 

What specific fail-to-eject problem?

Stovepiping? Empty case stacking with the new round?

What ammo are you using?

Perhaps limp wristing, which is often the cause of jamming problems.

Factory recoil spring or aftermarket?

We need more info...

I have never heard that term used before what does it mean ....Perhaps limp wristing?

Re: Glock 19c problem
 

Is the original spring plastic, or has it been replaced with a steel one?

Re: Glock 19c problem
 

Holding the pistol too loosely can cause a malfunction known as a "limp-wrist" jam.

Re: Glock 19c problem
 

Are you sure its a real Glock?:tongue_ma:

Just Kidding.

Look at Ammo.

Make sure ejector is grabbing shells. If it will not go forward enough it should not shoot. But fireing can occur sometimes if things are askew.

2Look at ejector for freedom of movement

It's a Glock. Get an XD, they run on anything.:biggrin:

Re: Glock 19c problem
 

Ammunition. What are you using?

Re: Glock 19c problem
 

Just in case anyone needed another reason not to own a glock.

Re: Glock 19c problem
 

Ummmm. I think I would look into removing and detail cleaning the extractor. These are simple creatures.

Re: Glock 19c problem
 

Using Winchester ammo, it is ported, bought used at gun show recently, I just got some new mags in mail, will try them first, thanks.

Re: Glock 19c problem
 

Clean and lube it well, try some +P ammo, make sure to hold firmly.

Let me know if that doesn't work.

Re: Glock 19c problem
 

Winchester doesn't say much, target loads probably. I'll bet it is a combo of 3 things: a relatively weak load, the porting exacerbates that, and a weak hold.

But you still haven't told us of the nature of the failure, if it's stovepiping I'm very probably right, insufficient energy to cycle back far enough to hit the ejector. In the picture below the arrow points to the ejector. The slide, returning to the rear after firing, is bringing the empty casing with it. The ejector tip will hit the empty (or more properly the empty will hit the ejector tip, flinging the empty out. If there is insufficient recoil energy for the slide to even make it back as far as the ejector, the slide will return with the empty still in place, usually with the empty ending up crumpled between the slide and breech face (a stovepipe). Usually the slide doesn't make it back far enough to pick another round up from the clip.

Re: Glock 19c problem
 

Not quite sure on the specifics on the ejection, I dont think the new round was coming up just the old one not ejecting fully, will try today thanks.

Re: Glock 19c problem
 

Are you confusing "extraction" with "ejection"? They are two completely different things, done by different parts.

Limp-wristing is often a very valid diagnosis, as the video above illustrated.

Weak or broken extractor.
Broken ejector.

Some handguns can break the extractor if the slide is slammed shut with a round in the chamber. Most people don't know this. Often/usually handgun extractors are designed to have the case rim slide up into the extractor hook from beneath as the round comes up from the magazine, and if you slam the slide shut with a round in the chamber the extractor is forced to try to cam over the case rim. Do this a couple of times and the extractor can break.

Re: Glock 19c problem
 

It is Ported-----Hmmmmmmmm

Use hotter ammo. If its ported there may not be enough pressure building up to cycle because the Porting is bleeding it off.

I am pulling that out of my behind.

Just because I can.

HAHAHAHAHA

Re: Glock 19c problem
 

Turns out it was the old ammo I was using from the 70s, I also was shooting my ruger 89 and it had the same problem, switched to the remington umc and it was fine, thanks to all.

Re: Glock 19c problem
 

Congrats. Glad to see you have identified the problem...

For future reference, keep your ammo in GI cans and stored in a cool, dry place. SC
