Glock 41.....hot brass all on the face.

At least 2 of 10 rounds fired are resulting in hot 45 cal casings falling between my safety glasses and right eyeball. Ive had my Gen 2 17 since 93 and its never done this. Is this the norm or does it need to go back to Georgia ?
 
A couple years ago I had a new Glock model 21 that was doing this. I returned it to Glock and they replaced the entire weapon. The replacement pistol ejected brass just past my right ear. Not enjoying these close encounters I sold the pistol.
 
Glock had an issue with this in the past but I was under the assumption that they had it fixed in all current guns. You might want to give customer service a call about it. This is actually rather disappointing to me if this starts popping up a lot again. I was planning on buying a Glock 20 but that won't be happening if this issue is back.
 
Has someone else shot the gun to see if it happens to them?

I've seen the brass to the face happen with several people, yet when I shoot their guns, it doesn't happen to me. Keep a good solid grip on the gun.
 
One other point is that I've seen fellas complain about brass to the face and I've watched their guns to see what's happening. Sometimes it is brass that ejects straight back. But on many occasions it's brass that ejects well from the gun but bounces off the wall of the stall into the shooters face or down their shirt front. A good many cases of brass to the wherever are due to this.

Very true. I guess I didn't even think about that. I often get hit with ricocheting brass... but that's no fault of the gun. ha
 
I've never owned a Glock that didn't eject brass erratically. Mind you - they all have been mostly reliable pistols otherwise.

I've never understood why Glock can't develop a pistol that ejects consistently. I've always assumed it had something to do with the strange angled geometry of the extractor arm.

I own and have shot Colts, Walthers, Rugers, Kahrs, Brownings, and others that toss rounds very consistently off to the right. My P99 (which ejects cartridges quite violently) will literally place them all into a neat 1 foot diameter pile about 6' off my right shoulder.
 
With Glocks, you're supposed to hold them in a sideway fashion before you shoot them.

Depending upon which gang you belong to, the ejection port can be up or down. :cool:
 
zzzzzzz

This is just plain ol monkey defecation. Ive been shootin my gen 2 17 - 20 years nothing even close has happend like this. Same goes for my coworkers gen 3. From what I read on the web this is not an isolated incident. I havent a clue what Glock is doing to repair the problem. In any event it looks like its going to big mama.
 
my 41 is pretty consistant, and have video to show it

Here are a couple of videos where the camera is looking straight down from above at the 41 shooting and the brass is leaving the same way every shot.

in video #2 in the second half of the video ... the first half is shooting 100 yards with not view ... you see the 41 rapid firing with the brass flying out to my right and going towards my rear...

I agree. Send the gun back to Glock and make them fix their faulty product.

My P226 does this at some ranges, and I get pummeled repeatedly by hot brass.

My Luger is entertaining here too. The brass gets launched at high velocity straight up in the air and slightly backwards, so two seconds after I shoot it, someone ten feet behind me gets bombed by hot brass falling from the sky.
 
Glocks don't fail, it's unpossible.

Most Glock defenders will say it's

-ammo
-limp wristing
-you're a liar
-you need to spend 400 bucks on springs and other "custom" plastic parts

Never the Glock's fault.

Isolated incident.
 
Glocks sure seem to make some folks insecure ... why I do not know. Plenty of guns out there to shoot, and they are all fun! This world needs more smiles, everyone have a fun holiday shooting regardless of which firearm it is...

There is something to the range over head cover of all types reflecting brass, which I have experienced with any brand handgun at times. Unless someone is there to watch you won't know. Before sending a gun back it might be wise to have someone watch the gun run and see if that is the problem...
