    My face Kept getting hit with the Shell casing(Glock)

    I shot my Glock 21 at an outdoor range, it was cold and windy. Anyway, my face kept getting hit with the shell casing most of the time, it didn't hurt me or anything but its just annoying and I didn't want to crack my safety glasses. I used aluminum Blazer Ammo. I was doing the weaver stance, sometimes I was standing straight sometimes Im leading forward.

    So is it the wind, the type of ammo, or just my stance?

    Here's what I've noticed, on youtube Glock 21 shooters seem to use brass casing and the shell tends to fly towards the right, not to their face.

    Your stance is probably fine, I'm guessing you need a firmer two handed grip on the frame.

      You weren't firing "Gangsta Style" were you?

        If a case can crack your shooting glasses, you need to invest in better shooting glasses.

          Shoot with arms straight out. That under the leg stuff is dangerous..

                Extractor issues? Worth taking a look at.

                Also, try different mags.

                    My Glock 21SF and 34 throws spent shells to the right. Maybe it was the wind or the way you were gripping it.

                      That's gotta be some heavy wind.

                        Are you sure the shell casings weren't flying right and hitting the dividers then hitting your face?

                        If you are sure your ejector could be wrong or bent.

                          Its random, sometimes to the left, sometimes over my head, sometimes it hits my safety glasses or forehead. Also Im using aluminum casing, is it too light it gets blown by the wind? Ok I forgot to tell you this I was shooting at Chabot Gun Club, its above the mountain so its windy.

                            Even with aluminum, you're dealing with a sprung out, non-aerodynamic casing...

                            IDK, have you shot it indoors? Are you a lefty/righty? How's your stance? Are you a short armed organism like say... a tyrannosaurus rex?

                              Take a class and learn how to shoot.
