Here's the question, mailing it back to Glock overnight via Fedex or UPS will probably cost around $60, which is almost as much as the Apex FRE that is known to fix the problem. Would you recommend sending the gun back to Glock to potentially fix the problem, or buy the FRE and be done with it?
I swapped the OEM extractor for the Apex version and guess what....still got the BTF. I have no received the upgraded recoil spring from Glock as well as the 30274 ejector. I have yet to shoot this combo but hope it fixed the issue as I really enjoy the G19.
