Ouch! Brass on the nose!

I get hit in the face a lot at the indoor because of it bouncing off the wall. Wife (who is well endowed) has often not taken my advice about wearing a T-shirt. Ends up with a hot case down her top. Every time I tell her I told you to wear a T-shirt she glares at me.

 

[B3dlam]

Welllll..... I hope you don't take any of that to the face.

Hopefully, you're wearing your safety glasses...

Ever since I laid eyes on that mug in your picture I just knew it was bound to happen. Other than the pain, I'm sure it couldn't have done much more damage, possibly an improvement?

Every time I tell her I told you to .....

That was your first mistake

 

[Certaindeaf]

Ouch!

 

[Stomper]

Could be worse, the slide could have donkey-punched your junk while attempting trick-shooting.

 

[308]

Donkey punch....lmao

We're you shooting softer loads than normal ? Some of the Blazer aluminum only makes it about a foot to the right where hotter loads launch the casings several feet. It's odd they're flying back towards your nose. Doesn't sound fun. I would experiment w a different mainspring or different extractor. Good luck.

My congratulations to you, Sir.

Naw. Standard FMJ 230 grain.

It's really not a big issue. It's only happened a couple times out of 400 or so rounds through it, so I'm not too concerned. I just thought it was funny that it happened twice in such short order, and that I was such a pansy that I had to stop...

"Please, Mr. Bad Guy! Can you hold off for a second, my eyes are all teared up from my brass hitting me in the nose."

I'm sure he'd understand.

I had a pistol that if S&B ammo was used every 3rd shot the case would go for your forehead, I had a case mouth slice my eyebrow open at one point. Still curious how one load reacts that much different than the other brands.

 

[MrMillspecer]

When you snatch one with your nostril, let the hot casing brand the insignia of honer, then you will be ready brass-hopper.

Whatever might be the cause of brass ejecting in your face, this is a strong argument for eye protection 100% of the time when shooting.

I put a different recoil spring and Detonics guide in an 80 series Gold Cup I was setting up for hardball, and it consistently bounced brass off my forehead, at least one per magazine with an occasional hot one down my Hawaiian shirt. Finally installed a fresh ejector from a Colt Commander, directing the "golden shower" back over my right shoulder. Way mo' betta.

I thought that's what eyelids are for?

Are you left handed? Get used to it!
