700 rounds, no brass to the face
I’ve been getting brass to the top of my head a few times every session.
Even saw the brass come out to the left at 7 o’clock when my sis was shooting!
Also two failures to eject out of the same box of winchester white box. Which also showed the same malf once in my gen 4 g19.
Win white box is some dirty ass ammo, and may be a bit inconsistent, so im not sure about blaming the pistol.
Hope it ejects more consistently with carry loads.
I love and hate glocks!
Put another 50 of Blazer Brass down the pipe, no BTF. I am seeing a trend of BTF coming from WWB and other weak ammo.
Blazer brass is a big offender for BTF for my 2 of 4 Glocks that are prone to it, so I’d put it in the weak category. I haven’t shot WWB lately, but it’s always been considered weak and inconsistent.
I can run BB in my gen4 G19 and G43 with no BTF. Strange, maybe I got lucky. WWB has become one of my last choices to shoot if nothing else is available.
I’m curious as to what the cause of BTF in the 43s ends up being. One would think after the pervious issues with the early Gen4 guns they would have that worked out prior to release.
Not accurate. My G43 has VERY erratic ejection. Ejecting not only into my face, but in all directions, even to the left. All ammo types, including Win Ranger and Gold Dots. What I am seeing is the BTF is common in some Glocks and not happening in others. Luck of the draw.
I get mine tmrw after work and will update then, but to add, my G19 production 4/2014 did this in the beginning and after about 200 rounds she settled down and gave me a consistent 4:00 pattern
I had 12 BTF in the first 100 rounds yesterday. Granted I was shooting WWB, but I still wasn’t pleased. I will shoot some Critical Duty 135 grain + P next week and hope for better performance. All rounds fed, fired and ejected, but some hit me and many rounds ejected weakly.
BTF on mine, 115 bargain ball to 147, including Gold Dot 124+P. Seems worse, shooting with just one hand.
It would be nice if glock would own up to and fix the btf problems once and for all instead of coming out with .380 or single stack guns that still have shitty ejection problems.
I honestly don’t know how anybody can still buy glocks after all this time. I owned 8 glocks over the past 4 years all gave btf no matter how many apex or glock oem extractors it still has been btf. If you want a reliable striker fired pistol get a vp9 or ppq or m&p , until glock gets serious about fixing their ejection problems, I’d stay away.
I have had zero BTF so far. Ejection is very erratic though. I ran about 20 124gr Rangers and almost every round ejected straight up. I had no issues at all with the 147s or PMC Bronze. I’m going to carry my usual 147gr Ranger T bonded. I was thinking about Gold Dot G2 but it looks like the FBI is recalling or scrapping them due to over penetration issues.
Haven’t tried the 43 yet however I’ve had a few brass burns from the 17 and 19.
Why don’t you just make the above your signature line so it shows up in every thread you post in? You’ve had 8 glocks and they ALL do it no matter what you change out. Anyone here know what the common denominator to this story is? Bueller? Bueller?
I know the common denominator. GLOCK. Glock Brass to Face. Erratic ejection in all directions. As in 360 degrees. Even to the left side. AND>>> Glock hasn’t fixed it.
Why not put in your sig line you work for Glock and you can never admit to glock having problems?
Your the glock expert please enlighten me and everyone on M4C what’s wrong? What’s the common denominator?
I’m sorry you don’t like the gun. You’re obviously happy with with your VP9. You clearly still have an axe to grind. Which is why I suggested using the quoted in your sig line. It’s just a more efficient method of spreading your message.

Nothing wrong wit th the PPQ, VP9 or M&P, but the BTF is a minor issue. I find it odd the apex extractor wouldn’t cure problems on the 17 or 19, it won’t help the 26. I’ve had BTF with weak ammo on the 19 & 26, 17 & 43 run like a top, Apex cured my issues with the 19 and it is just weak ammo that gives my 26 issues. I agree Glock could and should find a fix, however it’s the most ubiquitous handgun on the planet, it’s basically the AR-15 of handguns and IMO it’s foolish to completely right the gun off for that reason alone.
Others on here have said the Apex isn’t a 100% fix, Grant for one believes the only true way to fix btf is to lower the ejection port. Randy Lee over at Apex had done this for a few customers in the past, which leads me to believe even he thought his FRE extractor wasn’t 100% fix
I have a gen4 glock 19 with my second apex the original gen 4 didn’t work buy a gen3 extractor from apex did not perfect,but up until recently after5000 rounds it started hitting me in the ear
I replaced the recoil spring and that may have helped only time will tell.
Btw I still have 4 glocks two 17s gen3 and a gen2 19 and I had all btf Even the gen 2 surprisingly I may keep 2 glock19s as I shoot them better, but the VP9 has been100% reliable after almost2000 rds
But my point is It isn’t just me having these issues, but for some reason you take it personally when I mentioned the btf problems, look I’m not a VP9 fanboy Im also not a not a glock hater, in fact I wouldnt even consider another gun if I didn’t have btf. I just wish glock would go back to the early design if their ejection port and ejector I think that may be a fix
