Okay, been going to the range a lot. I've gotten a ton of advice from people over on the ktog blah blah blah forum about how to improve my shooting. Any more that you have here is appreciated (hint hint Flyer).
Anyways, I've been experiencing the ejected brass trying to scalp me. After 100 rounds on Wednesday night, I have two bruises on my forehead from this happening - actually got hit three times in the face with the brass. Has anyone else experienced this and is it normal?
I was using some reloads (I now know its a no-no) and had a live round jam so bad, it took two men with their brut force to get the slide back and get the round out. They suggested taking the gun apart before firing again to make sure there was no damage, they did not have a clue how to do it (tee hee hee), so I took my little friend apart for them. We checked it out everything looked pretty good - whew. I think that is was just a crappy re-load in the first place ( I was not checking them before loading them in the mag). I was able to just light pull the shot from the brass on the round that jammed (pic attached). I thought it was an interesting lesson on NOT to use reloads, unless you've done them yourself.
