Sidearms & Scatterguns G30 ejection or lack thereof

[acts238]

I just bought a G30sf 45acp that ejects brass in my shirt pocket or face
But it ALLWAYS ejected until I worked on it
I read polishing the exstractor could be the fix - so I polished it & at same time added a 4 lb striker spring
Went back to range had a lot of jams some did not eject some did at my face and towards the end a few ejected pretty good but only 2-3 feet to right
Could the weaker striker spring have any effect on ejection ?
After returning home I compared the exstractor on my g 27
The G27 extractor holds the brass tight but on the G30 extractor the brass was able too be moved quite a bit - so I removed a small amount of metal to allow the extractor to contact the. Brass more
I'll go try it tommorow

Don't ever put a reduced power striker spring in a Glock with the stock striker. Check and make sure the extractor plunger is installed correctly, if everything is installed correctly I would recommend calling Glock and sending it in.

^^^^^What [MENTION=6522]427Cobra[/MENTION] said. You can purchase a reduced power kit all together. However, your initial problem sounded more to me like an ejector issue rather than an extractor issue. If you were getting positive reliable EXTRACTION then your extractor was working, right? The issue was essentially just the angle of EJECTION, which is a function of the ejector.

Fortunately, Glock has always been insanely forgiving of people who've decided they needed to fix a pistol and have historically made things right where other companies would take the "you messed with it, your problem" approach. Again, following Cobra's sage advice, I'd contact Glock, tell them the initial problem, explain what you did, and send it in.

If you're set on a DIY approach, I'd replace everything back to stock (factory spring and new extractor) and then replace the ejector, OR, if you can look at another model 30SF lower receiver side by side with yours and check the ejector angle first to see if there's a noticeable difference. I would NOT recommend screwing around with the ejector however, because if you start bending on it it's possible to have a firing pin strike when ejecting a live round (if it's angled improperly).

EASY BUTTON: Send it to Glock with a sincere "my bad, dawg" and let them make it right.

Check and make sure the extractor plunger is installed correctly, .

I'm not sure how it could be install incorrectly - maybe I'm missing something there -looks like it will only fit one way and it holds the striker safety plunger in place
just want to be sure were talking about the same part
