I have posted before about my 1911 GI having an eratic ejection pattern. It is annoying to have every few ejected cases hit me in the forehead. This has caused me to involentarily blink each time i fire. Hurting my accuracy. Many different tips were offered, so My question is WHERE to start . In other posts I have seen that adjusting the tension in the extractor can help this. How is this done, or is it so complicated I should just consider replacing the extractor? Secondly I was suggested to replace the ejector. Thirdly Replace the recoil spring with a 16 lb spring. And lastly to replace the firing pin stop. I am new to pistol shooting, so I do not see how the last two would help the ejection pattern move away from my face. Please suggest in which order I should try things rather than doing them all at once. Or if there is something not mentioned here
