My Compact Kimber is ejecting its spent cases in an inconsistent but predictable manner.
With a full 7 round mag (so, 6 rounds under the first ejected case), the first 3 cases eject toward 1 or 2 o'clock, with the remainder of the ejections creeping back to about 3'oclock for the last shot or two. Also, the last several cases *sometimes* eject with quite a high trajectory, arcing enough to hit the ceiling of the range booth (about 3’ above gun level). Normally (with my limited knowledge) I'd suspect a loose ejector or an out-of tension ejector, but the consistency of this ejection pattern is uncanny!
I am not experiencing any feeding, extraction, or ejection failures. Also, I cannot duplicate this ejection pattern using aluminum, dummy rounds--these all eject consistently to about 3 o'clock.
Any ideas as to what might be causing this? Thanks.
