THAT IS WHY YOU WEAR SAFTY GLASSES
I have a 45 caliber 70 series, a standard model (not a gold cup) I wish. That every now and then, at least once out of a 10 round string would hit me in the face with an empty . It would also flip emptys down my shirt. I was shooting fairly light loads. I tried different spring weights a new extractor nothing seemed to change it's ways. I finaly went to a ejector for a 9mm that extend out over the mag well. This solved the problem compleatly and the gun ejects like it should with every load I have tried. The only pit fall is it is hard to extract a unfired round with this ejector without removing the clip first and letting the unfired round drop down below the ejector and drop out the bottom threw the opening for the clip. While this solved the problem I never realy figured out why the gun diid what it did I have other 1911s that don't have this problem and they all run on the same amo and are held the same way by the same shooter.
