I posted a similar title in the Gunsmith Section but would like a little more exposure/response. My 669 likes to fling brass around 15 feet while all my other semi's discharge just a few feet. This seems a little excessive or is it within "specs" to do such? I just have to warn people nearby. I either say "incoming" or "fore". Thanks for any response.

If you think 15" is far, try the S&W10mm they like to achieve Low Earth Orbit! LOL
I'm using a 22lb in the 1006 and it still throws the cases of higher impulse loads 20'...

There is nothing like a hot fired case down the front of your shirt, or pinged off the top of your head from a fellow shooter who is down the firing line. My 659 and 645 eject brass in about the 5 or so foot mark. It's all part of the sport......

Ditto my 1006 and 1086 both have 22 lb recoil springs and even medium loads go 15-20 feet. It was probably 30 feet before I changed springs.

Being a "lefty" and shooting an auto-loading pistol can lead to casings bouncing off the head if the pistol's extractor isn't tuned just right.
My 4566 and 6906 toss cases right over my right shoulder. If I placed a 5-gal bucket about 5 ft behind me they'd probably go right in. I'd try a new recoil spring if I were you.
My surplus CZ-82, on the other hand, flings cases across the county line. Hard to find the cases for reloading!

Heard that. Every time it happens I think "Gibbs slap"!

yeah same here dude - I'm glad I listened to you and got the 22lb spring
shipping those guns with the 17 or whatever came it with was retarded - if your hands aren't up to the task of manipulating the thing with the 22lb get a 380 lol

Same here with my Shorty 40. The 9's throw perfect but that 40 shoots brass like it shoots bullets! I have a couple of heavier springs so time to up the ante...
