Anyone here into firearms?

I got a real nice deal on a Springfield 1911 Range Officer today at the Nation's Gun Show. I took it to the range and put about 200 rounds through it. This thing is a tack driver! I love it.

Also worth noting... my G19 really has a tendency to throw brass right back at my forehead when shooting. It does it more than my G17 and G26 (which rarely does it at all). All are Gen 4s, so this is a known issue.

At the range it's not a huge deal because I always have eye protection and sometimes have a cap on, but in the real world I could see it being a problem. A shell to the eye in the middle of a fight would not be a good thing. I need to look into fixes more closely.
