Is it normal for semi auto hand gun to throw spent cartrdiges backwards?

My gen 4 19 tosses maybe one out of every 100 rounds straight back. Most just bounce off my big bald head but both the wife and daughter have used their undergarments to catch the hot brass!

Was the trigger on the .22 single-action?  (Something like a Ruger 22/45 pistol?)  The trigger on striker-fired 9mms (like the XDm and so on) is longer and has a higher pull weight than most .22  semi-auto pistol and as such, issues with trigger control will be much more obvious.

I'm going to bet that when you shoot the revolver, if you shoot it double-action you'll see the same sort of issue---because this is common for just about everyone new to firearms.  Good trigger control takes practice.  :)

The .22 was a S&W Victory, which is single action.

Well at least a revolver wont be tossing the shells at me.

First off I had a harder time loading the 9mm mag than the .22 mag.

Try this...

I bought a revolver. I shot it Monday. Enjoyed that except the range over charges for ammo, so next time I'll have my own .38 special ammo. Had I know about Hiljack quick loaders (I just saw one in a video) I might have bought the .22 pistol.
