glock 17 brass hitting me in the face

Change your plastic recoil rod with steel and you'll have no problem.

When was the last time you cleaned under the extractor?

It could also be the ammo... The amount of force it comes back with will help change its outward trajectory

I think mine is ammo related. I have heard others having issues with PPU and Glocks. My extractor is spotless. I clean it after every range trip.

i installed a SS guide rod before i took it out and the gun was brand new never used. it now has 20 rounds on it. i am going to try some heavyer ammo maybe some +p stuff and see if it makes a difference.
