To me it seems you need a different gun. If you can't hold it properly and hit the trigger you need a smaller gun.triggerhappy said:My biggest problem with my Gen4 G26 and brand new Gen3 G17 is getting hit by brass in the chest, inside my shirt, in the face, even getting brass inside my eye protection 4 times and inside my boot one time. And no, it's not limp-wristing at all. Took both pistols to Glock and they replaced both extractors and ejectors. Haven't had a problem with my G26 ever since. I still have intermittent issues with my G17 but that's because my hands are small so I can't reach the trigger while properly holding the pistol. Glock is now "manufacturing" (yes, you read that right: manufacturing) a special extractor just for me. Call Glock. They will make it right.
I'm thinking the same thing. I actually went from a Gen4 G17 to a Gen3 G17. The RTF2 hurt my hands from gripping so I went with the Gen3. Waiting to see if the new extractor makes a difference before making any decisions. Might have to go back to a Gen4.Webphisher said:To me it seems you need a different gun.

Congrats! Glock's latest extractors are made by a rather inconsistent process and it's surprisingly common to get one that doesn't work right.Thanks for the help everyone, installed a new extractor at my local shop and it is now throwing brass high and away from my face!!!![]()
