Companion piece for a non-Henry rifle

[GunnyGene]

45 ACP six shooter?

I actually considered that, but wanted a gun that took the same Glock mags as my Ruger LC Carbine.

I can remember guys talking about "tuning" the ejector on the Glocks. This turned into a comparison of tuning a 1911 ejector, like was done when everyone started shooting dot sights on their Bullseye pistols. But the buddies I had that shot the Glock matches all said there was a way to keep the brass from flying back at you, and it had to do with some small modifications to the ejector, or replacing it with a different generation ejector, or a different recoil spring, or maybe some combination of these. I'll say right now that I know next to nothing about Glocks, but I do remember those conversations, and how some guys got their Glocks ejecting to the side like other pistols did. I'm sure you're not the only one ever wanting to do this.

Yes, I've also read several posts on other forums about tweaking various parts to "fix" what appears to be a somewhat common problem. But I didn't buy this gun for it to be 'project gun'. This is an issue for Glock to remedy, not something for me to diddle around with. Btw, the Glock Warranty stinks. They might as well not even have one at all.

I completely understand, and I get where you're coming from.
As a brand new, fresh out of the box from the LGS, direct from the manufacturer firearm, they can get the first chance to fix it. But very often you'll hear "it meets all specifications" when you get it back. You aren't doing anything special with it, and not using it for any kind of specific discipline which would benefit from modifications, you just don't want to get beaned every time it ejects. I've shot pistols that did that, and it's distracting as hell.
I hope they can take care of it for you Gene.

I hope they do also, but I'm not counting on it. I'll take part of the blame for this experience since I didn't do my usual in depth pre-purchase homework. All I'd ever heard was how great Glocks were; "Glock Perfection" and all that other marketing crap that I should have ignored.

I am not impressed with the warranty. You are correct, it is pretty much nonexistent.

I keep my Glock with a round in the chamber even when it's put away and I was worried that the spring that fires it would become weak. I called Glock and they put me through one of the tech guys and he told me " nothing to worry about" so I don't and it always goes bang when I need it to.

I once bought a Glock 42. I wasn't impressed. It's the only firearm I got rid of.

Still haven't gotten a reply from Glock, but I did find a video about how to fix the BTF issue. Looked reasonable and not difficult, so I'll be doing what he recommends, except for the ejector. The G21 gen 5 ejector is a completely different design, so can't take a file to it.
