[/quote Only reason I put it up for sale was its tendency to hit me in the forehead with ejected brass. [/quote]

I sold an expensive 1911 for that same reason. About one case out of every two magazines came right back at my eyes. Always had shooting glasses on at the range but don't wear them all day every day so couldn't risk getting a lacerated eyeball at the wrong time if I ever had to use the gun for serious business. I do shoot right handed and I'm left eye dominant so I'm sure that contributed to the problem. But still.....I have several other 1911s and none of them do that. Well....except for the Kimber which I now use as a base for the 22 conversion kit.
