Robust Luger action? High ejection?

My 1920 DWM ejects quite similar to yours. It is caliber 30 luger. The brass will land about 20 feet behind and to the right MOST of the time. On occasion when standing outside the covered roof the brass will land up there and fall into the gutters. 30 brass being expensive I have borrowed a ladder to get the gutter brass. I still loose some in the river rock shooting apron tho.

When I shot at the local indoor range, most cases would end up on the little ceiling of the stand.

To my amusement I had several range officers tell me my gun 'did not eject cases'. Lol..

The little extractor spring has a huge influence. I had one P08 with a very weak extractor spring and the cases would land on my head, one even behind my eye glasses. I replaced the spring and after that the pistol would happily deposit the cases on the ceiling.

Yes, come to think the extractor spring tension was described in other weapons as an important factor as well, but it seems the speed of impact of the carriage hanging on the bolt against the ejector perhaps makes the Luger more vigorous in the ejection.

I,m still planning to see the ejection on my Glock and AR 15 shot sideways... it doubt they would come even close

Vlim,

I have experienced a weak extractor spring causing a Luger to jam from improper case extraction, but never causing one to through cases shorter distances.

Interesting observation Vlim!

Respectfully,

I completely agree with Vlim. And I have had the exact same results with my lugers.
