Rail-less and Tail-less
| Any issues with ejection? I just bought a new Colt Governent in 9mm and the ejection was all over the place. They weren't dinging off of my head like with my recent Glock purchase but they basically went everywhere else. Left shoulder, right shoulder, straight up, tumbling out of the gun, etc... the extractor tension looks good. I shot both NATO 124gr ammo and standard 115gr range stuff with similar results.

You've gotta stop holding the gun sideways like in the movies when you shoot it! None dinged me in the head, but now that you mention it, I have had a few that went in various directions.....some went mostly straight up, some up and to the left.....most straight to the right |

I have a series 70 government model in .45 that pings me in the head once in a while. I hear it happens on pistols that don't have a lowered and flared ejection port. It's also brand new, so, who knows, maybe it's still breaking in as well. (I've got 400 rounds down the pipe)

I don't think that is the case, but I am not sure. I have a gun dealer buddy who only does ALL of the Florida gun shows (large warehouse, no store) and he orders certain ones only. Here, about half the dealers will stock Colt. I'm pretty sure the dealers order them through a distributor like Gallery of Guns or others, and order the ones they want. |

As long as I am NOT shooting freedom munitions reman, mine ejects fine and pretty much in the same spot, and none to the head. The 124gr. nato ejected just fine also. And I was not even holding it sideways, in one hand and my junk in the other hand, and yelling at the target  Like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3a5Qth5BPRk&t=96s

That's interesting. Why do you start all new guns with Gold Dots?
