Glock 19 gen extractor/ ejector questions

[kmr54]

I have a gen 3 G 19 with approximately 800-1000 rounds through it. It recently exhibited several stovepipe jams as well as a large percentage of brass to face. I am an experience shooter and I am not limp wristing. Different ammo yields the same results.
I have ordered the 30274 ejector for it ( currently has the 336). My question is concerning the extractor - can I replace the lci extractor with the non lci extractor? I am aware of the Apex offering - it is interesting, however if the non lci extractor is reliable and compatible I would like to use it. It is not MIM and has proven reliability prior to the introduction on the lci extractor. Your thoughts and advise are most welcome.



UPDATE: replaced the dipped extractor with the old style extractor. Also replaced the load bearing spring and the 336 ejector to the 30274 ejector I filed down the the replacement extractor to match the slide geometry of the gen3 slide. Results: strong consistent ejection at 5:00. No failures through 250 rounds of different ammo types

Yes, you can replace the Glock Gen 3 extractor with an older non-LCI version if you happen to have one.

Keep in mind you will also need to change the spring loaded bearing (SLB) to the non-LCI version as well.

I had similar issues with my 3rd gen G19, minus BTF issues. I tried the factory glock Non-lci extractor with the appropriate spring bearing. My G19 would still have weak ejection and could not extract empty cases without the magazine in place.

I replaced the non-lci extractor with the APEX part for Gen 3 glocks. I am happy to say that ejection has become more consistent, and will now extract properly even without the magazine in place.

I think the root cause of the G17/19 ejection problems is the ejection port, exacerbated by wider manufacturing tolerances in these later-model Glocks. I didn't want to screw around trying to second-guess Glock's lack of quality control. I just went straight to a 30274 ejector and Apex FRE. Solved my problem. Apparently it's not a universally applicable fix, but if the Apex doesn't solve it, it appear that no combination dip/non-dip, MIM/non-MIM, bearing/plunger/spring will fix it either.

Thanks for all the input. I will try the 30274 w/the non-dipped extractor, and load bearing spring and report my results.
