Any pistols with Positive Ejectors?

Mabye the Desert Eagle, I don't own one so I don't know for sure.
You need a rotating bolt lock up for these to work, most pistols are blow back or delayed blowback....not going to work.
 
Why is the rotating bolt necessary?

If the rotation had something to do with the ejection then why is it that the gun still ejects when you draw the bolt or carrier back slowly.

I am thinking that one of the reasons they don't use one is simply because fixed ejectors work just fine.

The AK and SKS both use fixed ejectors...so rotation has nothing to do with it either. Maybe the positive ejection is more reliable for most actions due to lack of rearward recoil and gas pressure to reliably direct the action with enough force to get a clean strike on the back of the casing by those guns that use fixed ejectors?

For pistols I would guess that the recoil springs might not be strong enough to keep the action solidly closed due to the extra spring pressure of a positive ejector. The Desert Eagle being the exception due to rotating bolt head that locks closed under forward inertia while cycling.

I mentioned rotating bolt becasue I cannot think of any other action that uses spring loaded ejectors......
The bold part is what I was thinking. Just due to the way pistols's lock up, a spring loaded ejector would just cause problems.
 
I think only guns with rotating bolt heads use spring loaded ejector pins

For something like an AR15 (or Desert Eagle) with the full rotating head, it would be too hard to cut out a slot for a fixed ejector, wheras something like the PE90/Sig55X series or the AK's with the 2 lug bolt head has the room needed for the fixed ejector.



I dont think its really a problem either way, I dont think the style of ejector should really matter much, weather its fixed or spring loaded :p
 
You know I was just thinking...a spring loaded ejector on the slide of a tilt barrel gun should actually have little to no effect on the final lockup of the action since all it will do is push the barrel forward more tightly against the slide where the barrel cutout is(lug)

That and slow down the lockup slightly...but forward inertia should take care of that.
