1939 P08 Ejector Keeps Failing

[Randall_G]

Hello,

I purchased the P08 in the spring of 2018. The original plum ejector failed the first time I took it to the range (image 8798), after maybe 18 rounds. I subsequently installed an ejector purchased from SARCO; this ejector lasted about 25 rounds (image 8840txt).

Next I installed a strawed ejector purchased from InterArms. This just failed today, after firing some 53 rounds (image 0582).

One anomaly: the original matching-number breech block is chipped, as shown on the attached photo (image 8666). I replaced this breech block with a WWII (non-matching) breech block, but by the time I did the strawed ejector was already noticeably bent/deformed (as shown on image 0581).

I’ve been shooting WWB 115 grain exclusively.

Thoughts on what could be causing the ejectors to keep failing? I’d like to be able to shoot the gun (say) once a year, without having to install a new ejector.

Other than the ejector, the pistol is functioning properly.

Thanks!
