IWI Jericho 941 mangled brass

[AMET]

so I was shooting my Jericho 941 in .40 which I bought about 2 weeks ago. the first time I shot it, it did the same thing however I am wondering why. It seems to do this mostly on the last shots. here are some pics. (sorry for big pics i dont know how to scale them.

Bought new?

 

[AMET]

I would give that sucker back to wherever you bought it from. Does not look safe.

 

[Trigun]

Did you reload the ammo?

Brass

I just received a Jericho in .45 and it does that too, maybe one per mag. The gun is new (from SFRC) so we'll see how it performs once it breaks in.

Ejected, flipped complete around, then hit by the slide? (It's like the explanation of the magic loogie from Seinfeld)

Maybe an extractor that's too squared...

Those are my shots in the dark. I'm not personally familiar with the Jericho.

 

[Musky Hunter]

you need to tune the extractor....

Maybe just order a extra power extractor spring and give it a shot.

I bought a Jericho 40S&W, new and shot factories, only
For the first couple of hundred shots, my brass looked like this, but only on one side of the case.
It's good now, though, with seldom a bent casing.

 

[AMET]

oh ok, i will wait to see if it clears up, if not then i will try with extractor fixes. thanks everyone.

Mine did that out of the box, too. It now ejects flawlessly, without damaging the casings. Too flawlessly in fact, as it ejects each casing a mile away.
