    Default Incomplete Brass Ejection

    Is this a typical problem with Dan Wesson guns? Is it typical with the Point Man 2?
    If not, where do I start looking for reasons?

    Clean gun. Brand new. Cheap ammo...

    Is it a typical problem with PMC Bronze .45 ACP?

    edit: Happens with both the original mag and the extra.

    What do you mean by "incomplete?"
    When you are called a racist, it just means you won an argument with an Obama supporter.

    I mean the brass gets stuck in the action on its way out. Not every time, but far too often. I'd guesstimate 1 in every 8 or 10 shots.

    1) Could be the gun is new and needs a few hundred rounds through it before it is broken in.

    2) Could be limp wristing. While you are shooting make sure you lock your wrists in position.

    I would think it is a little bit of both. YMMV

    BTW welcome to the forum.

    Get her lubed/wet.

    Hold her really tight......

    Squeeze one off.......and see if the ejection is......adequate.

    Repeat as needed.

    Sorry. Limp-Wristing? If it's what I think it is, then no. I'd lose all the skin on my right wrist if I let that happen during archery.
    But just to be sure, please explain to a brand new handgun user...

    I'm looking at your little bumper sticker and your post above and wondering What, exactly, you're saying you can hit...

    Fuzzy- Limp wristing is not holding the gun tightly enough with your dominant hand. When the gun is fired, if not held on tightly, the lack of grip can cause the slide to lose momentum (i guess that's how you would word it) and that would cause the internals not to perform to their full potential is ejecting the spent casing.

    Weak loads can cause this to but isn't usually the case with factory ammo. The gun needing to be broken in could also be a factor but try to stiffen up a bit to see if that helps..

    Check this video out

    Actually, in most modern two handed grips, it's the non dominant hand that controls flip...............

    Shameless ripoff from Google:



    Keeping the weak hand up against the trigger guard and camming the weak hand forward.....so the thumb goes forward, but the palm stays in place......plays the most part in controlling flip......and therefore, combatting "limpwristing".

    For many people the grip is about right if the weak thumb and the strong index finger (out of the trigger guard and along the frame) are about even when looking at the gun from above.

    My money says that's what's happening. And Not what I thought based on the words used for it. I'll give it a shot in 12 hours or so.

    The way the casing is getting stuck in the action in the video is exactly how it's getting stuck in my 1911.

    ^^what he said^^

    Remember to let your body absorb the recoil, not your hands/arms. Some new guns are more likely to FTE from limpwristing than others. Some calibers can be more sensitive as well.
