Quit using steel cased ammo. It's obvious she has a magnetic personality. -
Maybe her wrists and hands fatigued by the end and she wasn't following through for the recoil and allowing it to snap back a little more.
I'd vote fatigue and limp wrist.CLXXIV

My SR45 does the same thing. The extractor is on the side of the slide, but for some reason, the casing gets flung backwards toward my forehead/right shoulder.
On the plus side, it makes picking up casing easier.

Letting the gun flip back and move back towards you a little, rather than keeping the muzzle down and pointed on target.Originally posted by g19jk
Even a little can change where the casings are flying in my experience.CLXXIV

Wear a Baseball cap- problem solved...
And you answered the question, if you do not press hard against a glock, they do drop the brass back onto the brim of your hat
very commonRule 1- ALL GUNS ARE ALWAYS LOADED
Rule 2 -NEVER LET THE MUZZLE COVER ANYTHING YOU ARE NOT PREPARED TO DESTROY (including your hands and legs)
Rule 3 -KEEP YOUR FINGER OFF THE TRIGGER UNTIL YOUR SIGHTS ARE ON THE TARGET
Rule 4 -BE SURE OF YOUR TARGET AND WHAT IS BEYOND IT

It's her grip and is caused by letting her strong hand wrist break up with muzzle flip rather than locking it and letting the shoulders take the rise.Comment

[QUOTE=g19jk;12371172]One stovepipe earlier in the session, due to limp wristing. But later, none. I don't think Glocks are prone to stovepiping due to limp wristing.
Glocks are prone failures do to limp-wristing and extractions back to the shooters face also. If it only happens to her, it's really simple. She is the problem.Im a warmonger baby, I got blood in my eyes and I'm looking at you.Comment

All semi-auto hand guns regardless of brand are prone to all kinds of feeding issues if you limp wrist them.Originally posted by g19jk
If you do not provide a solid foundation to stop the backwards motion of the frame of the gun after firing it then the then entire gun moves backwards and not just the slide. In order to properly eject the casing and load the next round the slide needs to come backward without the frame doing so as well.
When you limp wrist the slide doesn't come back far enough to do its job. Hence stove pipes and other feeding issues occur.
The term limp wrist refers to anything you are doing, not just wrist weakness, that allows the frame to move back with the slide preventing the slide from doing its job.
That said, I have no idea if this why the casing is doing that. But is most likely what caused the feeding issue. Like others said however, since it is only happening to her and not you then she has to be doing something to cause it.Last edited by tacticalcity; 09-21-2013, 11:09 PM.Comment

+1 for limp wrist. Glocks (with all the kudos to their perfection and top-notch engineering) require a perfect shooting technique. Other major brands are less impactedComment

Check to see if you have a 30274 ejector and a new extractor with a #4 on it. I don't buy the limp wrist theory. If the gun doesn't function well without a perfect shooting technique, then the gun itself has problem. BTTF issue is well known in 9mm Gen 4 Glock and sometimes problems doesn't surface after a few hundreds of rounds.
It's probably have to do with weaker charge ammo, stiff recoil spring, old 336 ejector and extractor. I had a Glock 19 Gen 4 and I had the same problem when I was shooting reloads. After I change out the ejector and extractor, the problem went away with the same reloads.Comment
