Oft-repeated myth. The recoil spring must be matched to the gun/ammo for proper function. It also helps to hold the gun correctly.
Ejecting in the wrong direction usually means adjust the ejector, or in some cases too strong a spring for the ammo/ shooter. If you let the gun flip and flop around when you shoot it, good luck on where the empties go.
I put a 15# recoil spring in one of my M&P 9s that I often let beginners shoot. For the "wimp grip" shooters, the casing would come back more toward the shooter with the original spring. +P ammo would also have solved it, but that's not what I give beginners to shoot.
