Parts question for Glock 26 gen 3 - Page 3

Captains1911 · February 5, 2021, 04:11 PM

This thread makes my head hurt.

Id worry more about finding ammo than the extractor being a problem.

I have a 17 that had around 150K on it when Glock rebuilt it. I have a 26 that had over 25K on it when I quit counting, and that was a number of years ago. Im still shooting both. The factory extractors were never a problem.

1 of gen5 trigger housing in case I want to try the gen 5 extractor. So I actually have 3 ejectors to screw around!!!

Extractor, ejector, same difference, right?

No, cannot find ANY ammo is a problem!! I'd be jumping for joy if I can find some not sky high price!!! Looked into reload, all out of stock from primmers to press, everything.

You joking? These are such specific stuffs.

Jim Watson · February 5, 2021, 06:31 PM

I am not familiar with the parts of a Glock 26. The extractor is in the trigger housing? Or you have to have the same generation trigger housing as extractor?

Sorry, I thought you were being sarcastic.

Ejector is a part in the trigger housing, you can change the ejector by just pulling it out and put a new one in.

Here is a youtube video explaining how to change the ejector
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PYDPVTzVqMQ

I have not seen they sell the ejector alone, you have to buy the whole trigger housing. Gen3 and Gen4 trigger housing are out of stock. I am not willing to pull the ejector from the trigger housing of my original Glock 26, I want to buy a gen3 housing, change the ejector and put into the Glock, then save the one comes with the Glock untouched and safe in case I have to put it back.

Sorry.

I found 3 Gen4 trigger housings with the Gen4 extractors on eBay, cheap, and arrived yesterday. Ordered it 2-3 days earlier.

They are double the price!!! It's all $9.99 in GlockStore

Also, I am not sure to trust ebay for such a critical part.

And it appears you dont trust Glock either.

I used to live in San Diego and the things I miss the most are In & Out Burger, authentic Mexican food & seafood, warmer winters, and the GlockStore on Ruffner Street. I miss the Double Doubles at In & Out Burger the most, but GlockStore is a close 2nd, even though I’m not the biggest Glock fan, GlockStore is the best gun store I’ve ever been to!

Seeing is believing, never shoot and own a Glock. At the time, everyone told me how reliable were Colt 1911 and S&W659, Welther PPKS is James Bond gun. They are jammed on me. All needed some serious fixing. So seeing is believing.

Look at the thread on S&W459, people said it's very reliable also, not for me(659) until I fixed it. See, I don't give excuse to the gun that needs to break in, that it needs particular brand ammo. If it jam, it jam, simple. Those are just excuses for lacking of margin.

At least I want to make sure parts are genuine Glock parts.

AK103K · February 6, 2021, 02:30 PM

You need to stop worrying on the parts and start worrying on finding ammo.

Im betting you won't likely shoot the gun enough to barely get it broke in, let alone, break something. Most dont.

If you insist on changing things out unnecessarily, before theres ever a problem, you will likely bring your prophecy to fruition.

AMMO!

Alan0354 · February 6, 2021, 03:29 PM

I have no choice, I can't get any parts anyway. All are out of stock, no ejector, no extractor, no nothing.

Willie Lowman · February 6, 2021, 04:44 PM

Looks like you are just gonna have to shoot it and see.

Alan0354 · February 6, 2021, 05:06 PM

Then comes buying ammo!!!

You guys are hoarding everything up, no parts, no ammo, no primers, not even reloading press and all!!!

Looks like I am going to have a "plastic" toy gun!!! One that won't even snap without racking the slide!!!!

I am thinking about another "plastic" toy gun!!! Too bad Glock 43 is not legal in PRK. Have to look at S&W M&P9 Shield. hate to look at Ruger LC, it's only 380.

TunnelRat · February 6, 2021, 05:20 PM

You didn’t take up the store owner on those boxes of ammo?

Oh yeh I did, they saved them for me in case I change my mind. They are nice. I put my name on the waiting list in some other places already.

Hey, at least I got the gun!!! That's the most important thing. Now, I just need to convince my big boss that I need another plastic toy gun.

HighValleyRanch · February 6, 2021, 05:25 PM

Glock 43 is legal in CA, but not on the roster. There is a big difference. You can purchase on the face to face market, and some are in new condition, but be prepared to pay over a grand for one.

You can also find used reloading presses on the second hand market.

Good thinking. Honestly it’s just going to be tough for a while when it comes to availability of ammunition.

I’ve had trouble finding some Glock parts myself lately. I like Big Tex Outdoors, Glockmeister, and Midwest Gun Works for online retailers. I’ve also bought parts on eBay when that was the only option or the cheapest option. In those cases look for sellers with many reviews and sellers that primarily sell firearms related accessories (look at the seller’s other items for sale). I’ve generally had good luck.

I check, I did not see 43 on the list of legal guns. I am thinking more about the S&W. Or I can go big like a Sig 2022. that's legal. I have to really like the 26 before I would consider a 19. the 26 is pretty perfect, 10+1, 19.4oz.

I talked to people in reloading, it's discouraging that I cannot do any of the reloading in the house because of lead contamination, also it would be distracting watching tv to do it. I don't want to be in the garage hours at a time. It's hot and it's boring.

HighValleyRanch · February 6, 2021, 06:38 PM

You are mistaking legal, "within the law" for approved. The roster is for approved handguns that you can purchase new from a dealer, not what is legal to own in California.

Please learn the laws if you want to be a responsible gun owner here in CA.

You can load in the house with plated bullets just fine, and turn the TV off!

You mean I can order from out of state and ship to a dealer locally to get it?

HighValleyRanch · February 6, 2021, 07:55 PM

NO

You can purchase "used" as in second hand from an local person or LEO that purchased it legally. You can purchase through a person to person (in body and flesh at the same place) transfer.

Alan0354 · February 6, 2021, 08:01 PM

You don't have to shout.

Not interested then. Only new ones.
