The Apex extractor alone cured my gun's problem. I have close to 2200 rounds through the gun AFTER the Apex unit was installed and the thing ejects brass like my old 2ng gen G17. Not one piece to the face or even close.
So you may...or may not need the ejection port lowered. Mine also shows no large brass marks near the port like some problematic Glocks did.
To totally "fix" one of these BTF Glocks requires patience and not one fix does it for every gun. Maybe I got lucky...I don't know but with the Apex part alone...my G19 is humming right along.

You are indeed one of the lucky ones.. The G19 I had, still had problems even after changing the ejector and installing a Apex extractor, It stopped the BTF, but introduced a new problem...double feeds, I tried fitting the extractor using Apex's instructions, but couldn't get it quite cleared up, it'd still double feed usually about every 200rnds or so. I figured that there was probably more than one issue going on here. At that point, I gave up on it and moved on. I liked it, but after that experience, and the fact it doesn't seem that Glock has the BTF issue fully resolved, I haven't felt the urge to take a spin at the wheel of fortune so to speak, and see if I could get a G19 that works.......Maybe I'll check back in a few years...
