Apex Tactical’s long awaited Failure Resistant Extractor for the Glock Gen 4 is now available for ordering from their web store. Many shooters who have bought Glocks within the last few years have discovered their Glocks are ejecting cases erratically or even malfunctioning with stovepipe type malfunctions. My personal Glock 17 RTF worked fine for about 1000 rounds and suddenly began to fail to eject every 100 rounds or so. It was quite frustrating.
As mentioned in a previous blog post, I received a prototype extractor from Apex a while back, which improved the consistency of ejection and extraction of all the Glocks in which I dropped it in. This fix from Apex was able to do what countless other “fixes” from the Internet Peanut Gallery could not. In fact, it worked so well, my Glock was able to reliably extract and eject cases without a magazine inserted in the gun. This is something Glocks have never been able to do from the factory.
Note that this version is specifically for Gen 4 Glocks only, and a Gen 3 version will be coming along soon.
