What is wrong with my Beretta M9?
I recently purchased a Beretta m9. Last weekend I took it to the range and shot it for the first time. Occasionally, when shooting it, I would feel a small spec hit/singe my cheek when it would eject a casing. (FYI, I was using MAGTECH 9mm Luger ammo)
At this point, I am assuming that what I felt was excess gunpowder being ejected with the casing.
Before answering my questions, you should know that: The ejection port on the m9 is significantly larger than most handguns because of the exposed barrel. Also, I am left handed and the casings are ejected to the right.
So my question is: What is hitting me in the face when a casing is ejected? Are their any solutions to this problem (i.e. should I use different ammo? or simply wear protective glasses?)
Try a few rounds of S&W 9mm ammo and see if you get the same effect. The Magtech ammo may be disintegrating a small part of the shell casing, causing small pieces of the casing to fly out with the case when you eject.
And yes, absolutely wear safety glasses when firing the gun.
