Glock 19 troubles.

[Greg Bell]

Guys,

Man, what a terrible day. Yesterday I was blasting with my G19 (A Gen three with the beveled barrel hood). I shot about 300 rounds. Early on in the shooting (with Winchester white box) I had a round stuck hanging from the side of the gun port. I ignored it because my gun has gone through about 2k rounds without a jam. Later (about 200 rounds) I had a classic "stovepipe" with Atlanta arms ammo. During this the G19 was tossing brass into my face about every 10-12 shots. During this I rented a Gen II G19 from the range and blasted about 75 rounds. No problems, no brassinface with the rental.

Any theories?

Detail strip, clean and change out springs if rd count post
is accurate....

Good luck....

You should not need a new recoil spring yet, not just at 2000 rnds. First thing I would check is the ejector. Make sure its not loose, bent, broke, etc.

Thats what I was thinking as well. I might even be tempted to rotate in replacements. Glock parts are relatively inexpensive and easy to swap out.

If you find that you did have an ejector problem, can you post a pic?

I agree with the detail strip and clean. Wouldn't hurt to replace the springs, they are cheap. Check the extractor. My old 2nd gen 19 had the bottom half break off and started causing the same problems your having. Easy fix.

I would look at not only the ejector but the extractor as well. Make sure it's not chipped. It could be the extractor isn't holding onto the case long enough for the ejector to do it's job.

Yup. Forgot about that.

First get some good qualtiy ammo. I mean like MagTech or American Eagle/Federal or some red box Black Hills. If your gun runs on this 100%, then you've just figured out that it was the ammo.

Winchester White box isn't 'good', Atlanta Arms reloads are VERY inconsistent.

[Hawkeye]

Holy cow. I completely missed the Atlanta Arms part. I'll defer to Gotm4. Get some good ammo and run through it and see if the problem still exists.

[Greg Bell]

The problem is, WWB, blazer, AA, and Monarch (steel cased) is all I run through my guns for plinking. If it requires expensive ammo to work, I don't need it. My Glock 17, P2000 and P7 all run fine on it. BUT, I will still take your advice and try it out.
