Okay, this is the third time I'm typing this post because my browser has crashed and lost this twice before. Annoying.
Newer Glock owner, G19 and G26, both Gen 4, and experiencing some erratic ejection with the G19 (haven't shot the G26 enough to know). Both bought new, both with test fires within the past year, and both should be have the newest builds/parts. In 200 rounds today, took it in the face twice and on the forearm twice. Otherwise, pretty consistent 4:30-5 o'clock ejection 2-3 feet away. Fumbles seem to happen during last few rounds, so spring tension/compression force may at least partly be to blame. Ammo shot was 115gr Blazer Brass, Federal Champion, and Winchester white box. Haven't shot enough of my HST 124gr (+P) to notice if it happens with that, too.
Unlike some Glock owners on other forums, this doesn't not bother me enough to make me rethink my decision, abandon Glock, or call someone in Smyrna. I've always been an XDm guy, but to consolidate and standardize for all the shooters in the family, Glock seemed like a good way to go. I was initially disappointed in my accuracy, but as I've shot them more and more, that's improved greatly and they're becoming more and more comfortable to shoot. With 2/1 COM/head drills today, I only missed the target twice, both head shots, and both while moving. I did have some pinky finger pinching early on, but have since adjusted my grip to avoid this little annoyance.
I just wanted to get other people's opinions and thoughts on the subject. If you think I'm being too picky, feel free to tell me to go to hell and just enjoy shooting my guns :tongue:

Just make sure you stand on the left end of the line.
