THE IMAGE ABOVE IS A PAID ADVERTISEMENT
The gun: S&W SKU: 178017 link
Round count: Approximately 500.
Ammo used: CCI Blazer 115gr aluminum cased
The problem: When firing, the brass generally ejects into my shoulders (with about 3% hitting me in the head). I'd like to get it to eject to the side before I end up with a case embedded in my forehead.

Theory: I know for AR15's that are ejecting too far back, it usually means the gun is over-gassed and a heavier buffer spring or heavier buffer will solve the problem. Is it possible that putting in a heavier recoil spring will slow down the rearward motion of the slide so that it stops attacking me?

Anything else I should try?

You could always file the ejector back at an angle, like this:

__________
___________


This will generally make the case eject up and over your head.

Check extractor tension and reshape ejector.

Extractor tension seems fine, but it's also an external extractor not a traditional internal extractor.

Then have the ejector reshaped.

The ejector controls when and what angle the brass ejects.

Where is a 1911 supposed to eject?

I always assumed it's supposed to be to the right, 90* from the direction the gun is pointed, and up somewhere around 45* relative to the ground.
