New Glock G45

[RHINOWSO]

There's a poster on TOS who is reporting the same difficulty in hand-ejecting, so supports the idea that it is a result of the design, not a quality control issue.

We sure it's not the same poster?

Although I don't currently own any Glocks (or anything plastic or striker fired, weirdly), I am impressed that Glock is responding to customer input. Say what you will about SIG and Springfield (and there is a lot to be said), the have raised the bar and a lot of companies are actually listening to their customers. Even H&K, one of the deafest of all companies, seems to listen some these days.

I had a Gen 5 19 for a while and it ran great until the trigger bar started disintegrating and the trigger pull got crunchy. I presume my problem has been addressed. I might have to look at one of the G19 MOS when one pops up around here.

I bought a spare trigger bar for my G19/5 based on you problem.
I would get a G17/5 instead of the G45.
They should have made the G45 a full size single stack .45acp and made this the G46.

I highly doubt a significant part of the population wants a single stack Glock in .45.

Probably. But maybe they could have come up with some variation of the .45 that would be popular.

That would require 45 to be popular.

Exactly, .45 is really only around nowadays for iconic guns that were designed for it, like America's hand gun.

Winner Winner Chicken Dinner.

There are two people in the thread reporting it, so that would be a pretty good trick.

FWIW, on my G45 I have the same issue, but the rate at which I pull the slide is the determining factor. If I slowly pull the slide aft, it will stop moving aft with the round about 90% out and not eject. If I move the slide a little faster/harder, the slide will travel back just a but further and eject the round.

Has nothing to do with the chamber, as the cartridge isn't even contacting the chamber when the slide stops moving.

Hello all, I just posted in the AR15 forum this afternoon about the ejection issues. I'm not the OP on that thread but I just wanted to let you all know that I did contribute to the discussion over there. I learned from this forum that I am not the only one with this issue and from the link to the GT forum that the issue is related to the notch in the breech face. I joined about a week ago but I had to wait for my account to get validated to be able to post. Thank you all for noticing this!

There is some variability to this issue from gun to gun as I have discovered experimenting with snap caps on about 6 different guns (including my own). Mine is so bad that even pulling the slide aggressively backward will result in the slide getting jammed up. I sent my gun in to Glock early last week and I'm still waiting on a solution. They have said that all G45 and Gen 5 17/19 MOS guns have this issue to a varying degree.

To shed some light on this I'll let you know what I did what I first noticed this as an issue. I individually swapped the following parts and did a function check for each of the following parts with my Glock 19 Gen 4: Recoil spring, barrel, extractor, extractor spring. In addition, I put the G45 slide on my G19 frame to test to see if this could be an issue with the ejector. The issue was still present in all of these configurations, which leads me to believe that the common variable is the slide (breech face notch).
