Apex Tactical Glock Extractor
by Tim Lau, courtesy Modern Service Weapons
“…For thirty years, Glock 9mm handguns have been nearly synonymous with reliability, but recently, many Glock owners have been suffering from erratic and sometimes failed ejection with their Glock 9mm pistols. Numerous theories populate the various Internet gun forums, but so far there has been no definitive answer from Glock as to the cause, or a solution. Glock Customer Service responses range from total denial, instructions to send the gun in for repair, or sending out replacement parts to local armorers.
It seems the erratic ejection issues appeared somewhere around the “M” serial number prefix in the Gen 3 9mm pistols, and possibly affect all Gen 4 9mm guns.
One popular “fix” is to obtain the latest Gen 4 9mm ejector (Part Number 30274), which for most people, seems to make ejection a little more consistent but doesn’t always solve the problem. Others recommend the HRED extractor plunger assembly by White Sound Defense, but this product did nothing for me…”

The Apex extractor should be the perfect solution for the Glock 9mm problems. I have been impatiently waiting for the GEN3 Apex extractor ever since I heard about it. I even have a G19 with ejection/extraction issues sitting in the safe just to test products like this.
I’m glad to see Tim spreading the word! There are so many shooters that are in denial over this problem that has existed for years now. Tim is a very knowledgeable instructor and certainly knows his stuff. He runs with a few guys I know personally and all of them have nothing but good things to say about Tim.
Don’t have and answer about your extraction problems, however I would advise that he quits sweeping his left hand in front of his loaded Glock as extraction issue would be the least of his worries should he take off a finger.
DocCoy beat me to it. Guy needs to keep his hand clear of the muzzle.
best cure is to not buy the glock in the first place. it did not pass muster in competition for the USA selection of primary handgun requirements. it is not accurate, not reliable, points horribly, over priced, bad sights, hard to get parts for and among other things has a terrible trigger. now i’m going to sit back and listen to the crying, sniveling, and general defense of the piece of junk!!!! when you get tired of making excuses for golck go buy a good gun.
Not sure if serious…..
GLOCK IS GUNNY APPROVED!
Captian Doc,
If you base your choices of weapon system on what has “pasted muster” with the USA selection on a weapon system then you need to educate yourself about the politics of weapons procurement.
The internet range safety hall monitor strikes again!
Travis you are sounding more like a cherry then a professional, better to quit posting crap before every one is convinced that you don’t kmow your *** from a hole in the ground.
