If that's the case, there may not be much you can do. You can measure the firing pin protrusion to see whether it is excessive. If it is, you can choose to reduce it.

Whoa - I never thought of that! I was wondering why this pistol tosses brass over my head - makes sense. The firing pin may have more influence over spent case direction than the ejector/extractor.

I just realized that I can examine firing pin/slide motion by using my CCC* bore scope. I'll take a look at it. You're right, there may not be anything I can do about it
Thanks for the input.
