APEX Failure Resistant Extractor for Gen 4 Glocks

TunnelRat · July 10, 2013, 11:03 PM

Hi all,
Does anyone have any experience with the APEX Failure Resistant Extractor (FRE) for the Gen 4 Glocks? All this talk of Glock 19s makes me miss mine and I am thinking of picking one up. However my last one didn't like my face

. This isn't a bash at Glocks, the fact that I still want to get one given my luck with the last one should tell you something. But I was wondering if it happens again if this might be an option worth trying.

I don't know much about the Apex extractors, but as far as I know all the Glock extractor issues have been fixed in the current Gen 4s; I highly doubt it will be an issue.

You say that but the Glock 19 Gen 4 I owned had all the latest parts. It's the only pistol I've ever had that issue with.

Considering how great APEX parts work with the M&P line, I think it would be a great addition to any Glock.
