I'm sure this has been probably covered in the past, but maybe there have been some troubleshooting strategies that have become more available over time. I have had my Glock 19 Gen 4 for quite some time, but haven't shot it a whole lot. It has a little less than 1000 rounds through it...maybe 750 or so I'm guessing. I mostly have put steel cased wolf/tula through it with anemic extraction at best with cases all over the place and some brass to the dome. I thought that maybe some better ammo would help because that's what Glocks are designed for, or so I've heard. This afternoon I put 90 rounds, 6 mags, of Winchester NATO 124 grain through it (as others have said, great ammo.) Better, more robust extraction, yet I was disconcerted when I still had 2 cases to the dome, and still erratic ejection to a degree.
I can confirm that I have the upgraded parts mentioned from many years back (recoil spring/guide rod and extractor). I know there are aftermarket extractors out there that are also supposed to help, and I'm really wanting to keep the 19 if at all possible. Have a bunch of mags for it plus invested in some I-dot sights on it. I have heard great things about the Sig P320 compact and was thinking about going that route instead, but there is so much support for the Glocks (mags and stuff), and I've heard the Sig mags are about twice the price of the Glocks. Potentially send it in to Glock to take a look at it? What have you guys done if you've had this issue? Thanks.
