  1. Thanks, all, helpful info.  Memphis, you're just jealous that I HAVE a purse, although my wife seems to think it's hers, and I just get to carry it 🤣.  I'll experiment with the heavier springs again, hell, they're in my range bag for just that reason.  If that still does't do it, I'll look at modifying the ejector.  At the moment, it seems to eject brass all over the place, but the shooting line is covered, and at least some of the brass is hitting the ceiling and bouncing.

     

    Gary, I already have that guide rod installed, and I also have one of those buffers but haven't tried it, a buffer in a 1911 I used to have kind of left a bad taste.  But I'll give it a try on my next outing, it's not like I can't undo it.  More later, thanks again guys.

  2. So I was velocity testing some reloads in my fairly new to me Witness Steel Full Size 10mm.  Of 30 rounds fired, I was able to recover all but one case, but it took some serious searching, and the brass was scattered from my 12:00 to my 6:00, and some was 30+ feet from my shooting position 😲!  Granted, I was working on a "full power" load (180 gr. @ 1250 FPS), but I get the same thing even with ~1100 FPS range ammo.  I know a heavier recoil spring is supposed to help, but I have trouble racking the slide with a 16 lb. spring, I don't know how you guys manage with a 22.  I've also heard about modifying the ejector, shortening it, but I couldn't find any details beyond that.  And help would be much appreciated, thanks.
