    No problems with my G26gen4; G17gen4, G19gen3.

    I had a BTF problem with my July 2009 G17gen3.
    The 30274 ejector fixed that problem.
    Wanting even better ejection, I tried the Apex Gen3 ejector which caused a horizontal-stovepipe-failure-to-eject-double-feed (short acronym, "HSDF") problem.
    Using various combinations of spring-loaded-bearings and the Apex or Glock EDP springs, the extractor would still intermittently pull the spent casing above the ejector causing this problem.
    As the casing was firmly held horizontally by the extractor, the slide would then attempt to close, but couldn't.
    Meanwhile, the next round was partially stripped from the magazine (the double-feed).

    Just for yucks, I tried the Apex extractor, again with the various combinations of EDP springs and SLBs, with the same result, the intermittent HSDF. Calling Apex, they said they could probably make it work if I sent the slides to them.
    I didn't want my slides cut upon and decided to live with, now, a very few BTF strikes and cut my losses with that extractor and SLB (~$70+ delivered with shipping and CA sales tax).
    Lastly, I did cut off that little Apex Gen3 extractor "nubbin", hoping that would remedy the problem, but the HSDF persisted.

    What I was hoping for was for my 9mm Glocks to eject as well as my .40 Glocks.
    One great thing about .40 Glocks are their ability to eject spent casings

    My gen 4 g26 got the new ejector and a lone wolf machined from bar stock extractor and no issues whatsoever. It's since been traded and is working great with no BTF for him. Total round count is approaching 4k.

    That's just a failure to eject in the form of a horizontal stovepipe. Not a double feed at all.

    I'm Not trying to nitpick you at all, FTEj is commonly called a double feed, but it's an entirely different malfunction.

    Has anyone tried using a 40 cal. ie glock 22 extractor in a 9mm 17 or 19? I read on another forum that seems to have helped. I bought an old one a 90 degree and swapped it with a g19 gen 2. put 100 rounds seems to have helped not holding my breath I'll continue to shoot it but wanted to know if it's safe as it protrudes slightly when loaded.

    The 40 extractor will cause the slide to fail to return fully in battery, will not function reliably.

    It hasn't been a problem
