I have been a happy Glock owner for several years. I own a G30, G22, G17, and I just picked up a G19. I haven't shot it yet. Tonight I was bored so I was practicing some basic firearm manipulation with some A-Zoom snap caps. I noticed that the 3rd round or so would get stuck in the extractor. Upon further investigation I realized that I DON"T HAVE AN EJECOTR!! What the hell!?! Is this some new Glock thing or was my gun just over looked? Very odd!! On a side note my gun has a weird 1 then hexagon after the serial number but only on the barell....what does that mean? I bought it brand new. My fist 3 letters are MDT. Thanks for the help!

Take your gun back to where you bought it, if this post is not a joke. Your Glock is in fact missing an ejector. All Glocks are test fired so that makes me think either, A. You have tampered with the gun or B. The thread is a joke.
Looks like your ejector is missing or broke off. Call glock and get another trigger housing w/ ejector.

I swear I this isn't a joke, look at how long I have been a GlockTalk member. I didn't tamper with anything. This is exactly the way my gun came, without an ejector! I am not kidding, joking, pulling a fast one, or feeding you bulls$*t !!! This is the way it came.

I'd take it back to the store and demand another one, if the ejector is missing, who knows what else could be wrong. I'm sure that glock would be very interested to hear about this as well.

Over the past year I've seen a NIB Glock, case opened in front of me, missing a front sight, another missing a rear sight, and one shipped without any mags. Mistakes happen but I'm sure Glock will make it right. I would start with the shop and see if they'll swap it out for another NIB one or if they'll ship it to Glock for repair on their dime.

I am on my own with this. The shop that I go to (I really don't have a choice) makes you sign an agreement stating that if there is anything wrong with the gun after you take posession that it is up to you and in this case Glock to work it out. I am not worried about replacing the part myself, I have taken the reciever apart on my other Glock a million times. It is jut a pain.
On further investigation it looks as if the ejector was never installed into the trigger housing. There is no sign that it was even there, no metal flakes or broken metal pieces.

I wonder if it fell out? Check the carry box and see if it is laying around inside there.

I wouldn't want to send it to GLOCK, Inc. unless they payed shipping both ways. If you have a local dealer that will ship the gun via USPS for a small sum, that may be worth it. My FFL only charges $14 for USPS shipping.
At the least, I'd call GLOCK, Inc. and tell them about it. You may get some swag out of it.

It just occurred to me that someone had to test fire your G19. I'm guessing it worked for them.

That is what I was thinking. When I rack the slide myself the casing will come out for the most part. They just don't fly in a typical spent casing pattern. If they are only firing off 2 rounds at the factory and then pack the gun up I am sure it probably worked for them.

+1. Don't they only test fire two rounds. If he didn't have any problems until the third round (assuming that is a consistent pattern with his gun), then they may have missed the problem altogether.

Probably. But you'd think someone would notice a thing like that. I guess if you're looking at GLOCKs all day, they all start to look the same. :supergrin:
It's probably not the test firer's job to check for QC, either.

What a terrible job....having to look and fire Glocks all day and get paid for it....:crying::crying::crying::crying:
Call Glock and explain. They will make it right.

I would call Glock and see if they would send the part needed. I'm sure they have internet, so tell them to look at your post in Glock Talk. It may get you faster service. I would also ask for some comps. It woulds be faster and cheaper than sending the gun back.

Could have broke at the shop. Com'on people are always fondling guns at the store, we all do it. It could have broke at the store before he bought it. :dunno:

I don't think you are BS-ing us at all. You have a very legitimate problem. Call Glock. It's the only right thing to do.
I am personally baffled by this. I feel your disappointment.:dunno:
Good luck,
Steve
Interesting how it managed to eject a few rounds even though it didn't have an ejector.
I would be interested in knowing how this firearm passed the sniff test before it left the factory.
Don't waste anymore time talking to us get that gun back to the dealer.

Some pistols, like NAA's Guardian series, don't even have ejectors. But that Glock sure is missing one.

A dealer will only take it and sell it to the next guy, who might get killed trying to use that pistol. Ship it back to GLOCK. It might cost you a few bucks, but they need to fix it and slap the QC team that let it ship out that way!
will you take it out of the gun and take pic's of it and repost them for us ? and if it was me i would just by the 5.00 part and put it in the gun myself why spend 30.00 to ship it to glock

1. Call Glock on Monday. They WILL make the problem right. Remember, Glock is a product made by human beings, and occasionally mistakes happen.
2. New Glocks can fire up to 300 rounds without an ejector at all. True statement, from the instructor's mouth at the armorer's class a couple years ago. It will work until the trigger mechanism housing is battered beyond repair.

That is my plan, I am calling Glock on Monday. I am not going to ship it back to them, it is way too much of a pain in the butt! The trigger housing is pretty easy to remove and replace. Anyone who has put in a 3.5 connector knows what I am talking about. Thanks again everyone!!

The only reason to ship the pistol back to GLOCK is so they can examine it and maybe determine how in the h*ll this one slipped by quality control. They should, without question, send you another trigger housing, and replacing it is very easy. At least they should get your serial number so the matter can be pursued, rather than simply allowing customer support to send a part without any follow-up.

You don't really need the entire trigger housing with ejector. If you can get an ejector (#336 for 9mm), you can install it with little trouble. I have a loose one, but it's my only spare.
Just push out the trigger housing pin at the rear of the grip, raise the housing about 1/4", push the 336 ejector in place, push the housing back down, & reinstall the housing pin. About 15 seconds work.
I'm sure Glock's Warranty Service would mail you one. If they mailed you the entire housing, you can pull the ejector out & put it in your old one. No biggie. Very strange how it got out, though.

Alright, here is the latest update. I called Glock and they WOULD NOT send me a new Trigger Housing with Ejector. They wanted me to either send in the gun in to them or have an armor order the part. I don't know any armors in my area at all. So I ordered the part from Midway. It should be here in a few days.

Damn, yeah I guess they didn't want you to be effin' around with it. I bet if you sent it off they'd probably hook you up with some goodies, but the wait time isn't worth it to me. Too bad the gunshop wouldn't just do a swap for you.

Glock never sends parts to non-armorers. It's a liability issue and I can't blame them. Fixing this is so easy, it's not worth the effort to do anything else.

I was at a gun store one time and there was a armorer there and i needed a recoil spring and he told me to come to the plant and he would get me one and when i went there he gave it to me and said are you sure you know how to put it in !!!!!!!! LOL I told him yes !!! it was like he did not want to give it to me :rofl::rofl::rofl:

Perhaps it was a bad part that wasn't up to spec and broke off at the very last round test fired?
Yeah I know but hey, people win powerball too. It's not entirely out of the question.
Maybe I'm inexperienced with other gun shops except the one I frequent, but is it usual for a gun store to have you sign off on a gun and then it's between you and the manufacturer if there is a problem? Especially if it's like that right out of the box?
Mine gives me lifetime on them. If they can't fix a non-user caused problem or defect they'll send it back to the manufacturer on their dime.

failures mine has it too the symbol just represents polygonal.

Oh, that's right. I talked to Glock about this. The hexagon represents the type of steel and the 1 represents variant 1. Basically Glock sloped the barrel hood on the G19 to improve lock up.

I don't know how widespread the Academy Sporting Goods stores are but the ones around Houston won't take a gun return, for any reason. FYI Walmart won't give you a refund on ammo, for any reason. We used to have Oshmans Sporting Goods stores around Houston and they would take a gun back even if you just decided you didn't want it. They were bought out by an outfit named sports authority or some such thing. I don't go there anymore because they are a nothing gun store. Sure miss Oshmans. We have an outfit called Carter's Country with 4 local locations. They exchanged a Colt Govt. Mdl. for me because it wouldn't lock up unless you hammered the slide shut.

I bet if you went to the range right now and Fired the Glock w/o the EJECTOR It would still work part of the time. Thats so awesome!

You are right, I bet it would work. I don't look at this as "A Bad Glock" at all. If fact I love the fact that I my hands and knowledge are going to be part of the solution. I have spent a lot of time shooting, cleaning, reading, and researching Glocks. If this gun were sold to a noob they would be up S*%t Creek without a paddle! But since I have a strong background in this weapon system I was able to acess the problem quickly and realize that it is an easy fix. I enjoy the fact that I am going to be part of the solution.....if that makes sense.
