I would get some brass to the forehead and didn't notice it if I wore a hat. at around the 1000 round mark, I started having multiple FTE/stovepipe malfunctions, I also noticed that the ejected casing had a pretty significant dent in them. I only used WWB so I thought that might have been the problem; I also heard about the new ejector cure. I ordered a new ejector housing from midway that came with the updated ejector the old ejector was stamped 1882 while the new one was stamped 28926. I put the new ejector housing in and the problem was solved. I rand a couple hundred rounds of WWB through and experienced no FTE/Stovepipes, casing are not dented, and I have not had a single piece of brass to the forehead. I have since stopped using WWB because I have found that there is better ammo for the sale price if not cheaper since WWB went up in price.
I recently bought a Gen 4 G19 and have put around 550 rounds through it without a hiccup. I also made sure to check before I bought it to see if it had a new ejector in it and it did. the old 9mm ejector I believe was stamped 336 and the updated one is stamped 30274.
You can get a new factory Glock trigger housing from midway for $8 + Shipping

I have also read that Glock redesigned the extractor making a slanted cut. I have read that this has been thought to cause issues as well, but I never really looked to far into it since the new ejector fixed my problems in my G23.
I would check to see if you have the new ejector and go from there.
I had tried a couple of different extractors, including a Lone Wolf and an older Glock non-LCI, along with different bearings. Mine had the 336 ejector, but switching it to the 30274 didn't help either. The Apex extractor comes with a stiffer bearing spring. Some people have had to use it with the longer non-LCI bearing plunger. For me, the 30274 ejector, the Apex bearing spring, stock bearing and Apex Gen 3 extractor was the combination that fixed my problem. I'm grateful for that. I decided to keep the Glock. I shoot it well...no complaints about that. It's relegated to the back of the safe, however....third string backup.
