Default M-10-6 ejector

I bought a M10 works and shoots great if you try to eject the rounds fast 1 or 2 cases slip out and stay half in the cylinder. the gun is user but other than that works and shoot very well. there doesn't. appear to be any thing bent or worn. is there a fix or something I can adjust to stop this.

The first thing to know about revolvers is they are gravity operated. To get ammo in, you need to turn the barrel vertical ( or close to) facing down. The ammo goes towards the ground and goes in. To get fired cases out, you need to turn the barrel vertical (or close) facing up. The cases go towards the ground and fall out. If the gun is at a more horizontal angle, the cases don't come out cleanly because down is now somewhat sideways.

Be sure you have the barrel pointing straight up...not at an angle, if you are going to eject them fast. Then you should have no problem.

Another reason to eject with the muzzle pointed up is so that you don't get unburned powder flakes between the ejector and the cylinder. That can make opening and closing the cylinder very difficult.

I used a brass brush on the two holes on the cylinder . That were hanging up .it helped there still seems to be a little bind in one . if I cant work it out that way I my have to get a hone. I have 5 K frames and 3 J frames .and never had this happen on ejecting cartridges.
