Okay ... is there any way to adjust where the brass is sent packing on this gun. The gun is great, but half the time it shoots the hot brass back at you. Often landing on your shoulder and inside your shirt.
Not good ... tell me there is a screw I can turn or something.

How long have you had it? Have you fired a lot of rounds thru it? I swapped out to a Wolff recoil rod and spring on mine.......and don't have any problems.

I shot one and had a similar problem. My problem was with the way I was gripping that small gun. I'm used to shooting larger framed guns, and had to adjust my grip a little on the subcompact. Once that adjustment was made, I didn't have any problems.

It is actually my sister's gun. I don't think it is the grip because we are both having the problem with it.
Wolff recoil rod and spring huh?

Try a different brand/load cartridge?

Try a different brand/load cartridge? How much does that really have to do with it? Going with a different bullet might do the trick? Right now she is running Winchester White Box through it. |

Changing the load or guide rod spring would change the speed of the slide. That could have an impact on the extracted cartridge direction.
But the ideal solution would be to have the brass from your cartridge of choice not end up in your collar right? What about altering the extractor spring stiffness? Seems to me that this might have the same effect.
Modifying the POI of the ejector pin might work too. I'm not familiar with the XD, but my striker fired P99 pin looks like it could be modified.
Any more experienced opinions?

TBT; Are you shooting left or right hand?

If your right handed, the bore of the pistol and slide should be aligned with the forearm , while using a modified weaver stance. If, using this method of shooting, the pistol shows no change, you can order a recoil spring calibration pack from Wolff Gun Springs. The pack will contain various recoil springs of different ratings, which is used to determine the proper rating for the ammunition your using. Altering the factory standard length ejector should not be necessary, because some factory recoil springs do loose tension over a period of use, which can affect the cycle of the slide and the ejection of the spent cases. Phone orders to Wollf takes about two or three days for delivery. www.gunsprings.com |

Actually, I've had this problem with several guns I've shot. The worst being my Ruger P90. It has cut me on the forehead twice. The very first time I pulled the trigger on my Sig P228, I got hit in the forehead.
I've found that by increasing pressure with the weak hand, it minimizes some of the muzzle bounce. Of couse you are also pushing harder now with the strong hand. Don't press too hard or your sights will be wandering all over the place.
Thinking about it: if there wasn't any muzzle bounce, how could the casing ever get back towards you.
