It's a design feature of the STI 1911. The weapon itself has a unique monitoring system that detects when the operator has a tendency to be "limp wristed" After a certain number of rounds fired, the limp wrist detector (LRD) allows the ejector to move slightly to hit the operator in forehead with brass (HOFWB feature) to remind them to tighten their grip.

If you feel the LRD is going off early or the HOFWB is annoying, just call STI and ask them to send you a non-LRD extractor or the HOFWB modification kit. I'd like to listen in on the call if you don't mind.

Glad to help.

funny Now that is a good response!

Seriosely though, you might be onto something here. Did not cross my mind but, now that you mention LW.......makes me wonder. You see, I had forgot to loc-tite the grip screws after replacing the grips. The came loose during use, therefor ending my range trip early. I wonder if that caused a LW scenario causing the brass to the forehead...?...

It was telling me...."You dumbarse, you forgot your allen keys!" BONK!

funny

Try turning the gun to perpendicular instead of GANGSTA style. That should solve most of the problem.

I had that problem with my CBOB and finally had the ejection port filed a little. Problem solved.

You are simply experiencing a "Lefty Moment".funny

Watched a fella at an indoor range long time ago, he was wearing a cowboy type hat and catching the brass in the top cavity portion of his hat. I was indeed impressed and halted my shooting to observe and admire the old fellas dexterity. Could be a possible solution to consider :) :outta:

That's a bit extreme. How's a man to pick up chicks if he don't look cool when he's shootin'?
