I have full faith in the Apex parts to cure 95% of Gen 3 BTF issues. The new extractors Glock has been putting in their guns are nothing short of absolute crap and wear down too fast (or something).Īfter that, I put an Apex FRE in both, and the problem has been gone since. I put a 30274 ejector in both, and the BTF was fixed for a bit, but it resurfaced after a few hundred/thousand more rounds. I didn't even bother sending in the second one, as I knew Glock wouldn't be able to do crap for me.

The first G17 went back to the factory twice with no fix to be found. I have 2x Gen 3 G17s that both beaned me in the face since day 1, regardless of ammo. My vote would be Apex FRE + 30274 ejector.
GLOCK 30274 EJECTOR FREE
As an example, some of the S&W revolver parts I recently had to go with are now MIM, but when I was younger and candy was free and ponies could talk was real steel.no longer an option.of course, it is just as good :) I finally went with buying adequate magazines and parts for the guns that I had that worked and giving up on new purchases.eventually they will make guns so shitty they won't even be tempting at all so it won't be an issue.getting more and more like that the longer I live. We're going on FIVE YEARS with this shit and Glock is no closer to fixing it than they ever were.Ĭopy that, but what else you going to? M&P with extraction issues (first APEX FRE) and accuracy issues (available Stormlake fitted barrel from G&R or vaporware/unobtanium Bar-Sto from Apex)? Little more expensive than a $60 extractor, ejector, and non-LCI bearing (if it works) or go with a 'twice the price' H&K or a PPQ with the "I didn't want that version" mag release and zero parts/magazine availablity?

I would definitely go with the Apex over paying $60 to ship it to Glock for another MIM extractor though. Might be a simple fix and save a few dollars. Easy to do and I've changed mine out except for a 26, which I understand may not benefit from this. He'll need to take the ejector out of a Gen 4 ejector housing and replace his 336 with same. That seems to be a fix for a lot of folks. I would recommend he try a 30274 ejector first. Would you recommend sending the gun back to Glock to potentially fix the problem, or buy the FRE and be done with it? Here's the question, mailing it back to Glock overnight via Fedex or UPS will probably cost around $60, which is almost as much as the Apex FRE that is known to fix the problem. One of his first comments was "it shoots well but I hate getting hit in the head with the brass." I told him that it is a well-known issue with some Glocks and that he can probably have it fixed under the warranty. My cousin bought a used Gen 3 Glock 19 a while back and I finally shot it with him this weekend.
