TAC Compact Ejection Port

[DrHenley]

RIA TAC Compact - Had a seemingly minor issue at the range with the brass being ejected forward. Normally not a big deal but I was at an indoor range and I could not retrieve most of the brass.

I got to looking at the ejector to see what was different about it. It looked the same length and shape as my Sig Ultra, which ejects normally.

I was able to retrieve a few cases and got to looking at them and they have a nasty dent.


So I got to looking at the ejection port and comparing it to my Sig Ultra:



The flaring is radically different on the two pistols. I have to think this has something to do with the ejection anomaly. Apparently the brass is hitting a sharp corner and instead of rolling off of it, it is rebounding forward - probably because the corner is cutting so deep into the brass. It's not just a dent, it's cutting into the brass, making it unsuitable to reload.

Normally I would get out the dremel and start smoothing out the corners, but this gun is Parkerized.

Any words of advise?
