Sounds not untypical of a stock Goldcup.
Recommended actions:
Complete disassemble of slide and remove extractor. Clean it and the inside of the bore where the extractor sits inside
with a Q-tip with cleaning solvent. You will probably be suprised with the gunk you remove.
I would replace the recoil spring with a Wolff 18.5# spring.
Reassemble and test fire.
If brass coming back toward the shooter, next step is to replace the ejector. Stock ejector is really set-up for 185 SWC target loads.
Put a new Commander length ejector in and you will find the brass is gone much earlier in the cycle...out to the right of the shooter .
Try these simple steps and you should be good to go.
