Brass to the face!

[ANDERSON MEDIC]

Ugh, what a horrible feeling. Realizing your new gun doesnt meet your expectations. Ive had my Gen 4 Glock 19 about two weeks now, long enough to take several pieces of brass right in the kisser. Handloads and factory loaded ammo.Ive read a few solutions to the problem and it looks like im going to be on the phone with glock tomorrow. Anybody else had this problem?

Try as i might, i still cant find a pistol that comes close to replacing my CZ P-01 as #1.

[Garufa]

Is this a brand new G19?  My understanding is they fixed that problem common to early Gen 4's.

[ANDERSON MEDIC]

Oh yeah its brand new. Havent looked up the mfg date but those dont sit unsold new very long

Try a Smith & Wesson M&P.

[ANDERSON MEDIC]

Haha i have a M&P 9c. You can check it out in the firearm classifieds section. Starting to rethink that sale, because that thing has been straight ballin' since the day i bought it

[mk19]

Try a Beretta PX4, the price is in the Glock price range and I believe you'd really like shooting it. Glocks are good gun, but they always had the habit of brassing the shooter.

If we can't find common ground about anything else, this is something we can agree on. :D :up:

As ballin' as it has been, have you tried one with Apex parts in it? If you were on my side of the state I'd let you shoot mine to show up what the M&P is really capable of. The best trigger I have ever touched in a pistol next to a 1911.

Where do you even find the mfg date on a glock?

[JohnC]

N/M, the spent casing envelope says 04/18/13 on mine, so I suppose it's close to that date.

[TGO David]

This problem seems to plague the Gen 4 Glocks regardless of whether they are early or current manufacture.  I'd be sending it back to them.

No cant say i have. I really do like the M&P in factory form but id love to try an upgraded version. As for the glock i wont give up on it. Its a great shooter aside from this one problem. Supposedly if i call glock they will send a new trigger mechanism housing, which seems to be the cause of the problem. I think if this is the case it will be a better option than sending the thing off. Lost some faith in that companys quality control though. I guess they cant all be as good as CZs

Just bought a G19 one week ago today. Shot a couple of boxes of FMJ, and did not experience this problem at all.

[Jonnin]

and people make fun of gangsta grip.   Laugh all you want the brass hits the floor that way... 

[Erik88]

While I'm not defending Gen 4 Glocks I wouldn't stoop to the level of the M&P which is just Smith's copy of the Glock with a terrible trigger.

Well like i said i own both, and like both. Ill take brass to the face and an m&p trigger over an xd any day

:stick:  Put the APEX parts in it. It's not even close to a Glock knockoff.  I have a Gen4 19 and a Gen4 23. Neither one blows brass in my face. TGO David had the words of wisdom here. Make 'em fix it.

[ANDERSON MEDIC]

Called glock. Not a lot of help. They told me that my pistol has all the new parts and shouldnt be doing that. After a battery of questions about my ammo, during which the gentleman tried to blame my handloads, i was told to give it another few hundred rounds or take it to a glock armorer. If that doesnt resolve the problem i must ship it to glock for modification.

What a bummer...

[mikegideon]

There's always this option. Check the first review...

Limp Wristing?

[ANDERSON MEDIC]

Limp Wristing?

Knew that one was coming......but no.

[mikegideon]

It's hard to limp wrist a G19. 

[Spurholder]

I've got an older Gen3 (LRW prefix) and occasionally get BTF when shooting standard pressure loads. 

 

I've yet to get a BTF when shooting 127-grain Winchester Ranger cartridges.

You'll have better luck finding a 2 headed flying unicorn that poops silver dollars. LOL

 

 

Seriously, I've found several guns that have a better trigger OR is lighter to carry OR is smaller. What I haven't found is any gun I like better overall OR that feels even remotely as comfy in my hand. I'm open-minded and optimistic, though, so I keep looking too.

[Erik88]

Do a little digging on Glocktalk. I know several members there have fixed the brass to the face issue themselves without having to ship it to Glock.

 

I think the fix involves replacing the ejector with an older version but I'm not positive.

 

My gen 4 23 slings brass to the right with force.
