I have a series 70 1911 that I use for open class steel plate shooting. It has a Weigand mount with a C-More on top and also a comp. The ejection port is already lowered and flared. Also the front of the ejector is now even with the rear of the magazine opening. My problem is that almost all of my brass ends up forward of the firing line. Most of it misses the tarp completely and I am getting a jamb every 100 rds or so. What I think is happening is a spent case is bouncing off of the mount back into the ejection port.

My question is, is it just a matter of shortening the ejector untill the cases land where I want them?

Thanks
John
