Facial injuries from ejected shells

[Krusty]

Anyone?:40:

No. Not from any of the Kahr pistols I have fired. Don't ask me about one of my 1911's a few years ago (since corrected, by the way).

No but my back hurts from having to bend over to pick up the empties.

Have had one wedge between my glasses and eyebrow, and one go down my back and burn me .. well on the butt.

Anyone?:40:

Kahr MK40, Sig Sauer P220/P239 or Glock G27? Never.

Over on GlockTalk the Gen 4 and late Gen 3 9mm guns are notorious
for throwing hot brass in the shooters face.
There's a running joke Glock needs to produce a brass catching Sombrero - LOL!

An ejected shell casing did't bother me half as much as a rebounding 230 gr. bullet to the forehead did. Now you know how I got this way.

I was shooting my AR15 at a range awhile back and had a spent case bounce off the wall and land between my glasses and eyebrow. It made a severe burn. Yikes! Those cases are hot as they exit the gun.

Never a Kahr, but Glock and several 1911's have stung me.

Done the down the shirt and into the pants dance...

Not a Kahr though. I am thinking it was a 1911...

The Kahr PM45 is the one model that seems to get a lot of reports of brass hitting the shooter's head. I know I have seen many posts here describing this 'feature' of the PM45. :7:

I caught a .223 hot off the press in my polo shirt collar a couple weeks ago. I think my girlfriend is just now finally starting to believe that the burn was not a hickey.

Ahh the hot brass dance. There have been many times that I have seen or done it myself. I had my Commander give me a love tap between the running lights, with alarming regularity, before I tuned that little problem out. Worst times come from other peoples ejected brass that finds its way into the tucked shirt and down. I did have a piece of brass from an M16 actually stick to my neck once, had to swat that one.

My duty Glock 23 has been nicknamed "the catapult" due to the enthusiasm of it's ejector by other shooters! Hot brass flying is why i wear my fedora when shooting on the line.

Been hit by hot brass coming from M1 Garands more times then I can count from the guys standing to my left doing Military Funerals. Never from any of my own guns or rifles though. Not even from the Gen 3 Glock. Will say this though. No rifle or pistol I've ever shot has ever thrown brass nearly as far as the Mini 14 has. Warning When I'm shooting or if anyone is shooting a Mini14 the last thing you want to is sit down to there right. Trust me on this. Be anywhere, but don't be there, unless you enjoy hot brass bouncing off your body parts. This has been a Popeye public service announcement.
