I just got back from the range, well it looks
like Steyr fixed the ejection problem! I have a No.#32xx and it worked perfectly....
But This gun has a firing pin problem, It started to act up after 50 rounds went through it..........At first I thought it was the ammo(not firing, but had a mark from firing pin) then it was'nt even scratching the center ring..............oh well the first fifty rounds were great. very accurite,little recoil, super trigger and felt great in the hand. The sites take alittle getting used too, I was just getting into a rhythm, then the firing pin problem occuried.

Did you clean and lube the M40 before shooting it? Just a thought. I've heard of other new pistols freezing up until they got their lube dosage.

If it really is a striker problem, then Herbert at GSI, can fix it for you ASAP.
