The instructor said his concern was the muzzle blast and noise. It was an indoor range with partitions; I noticed most of my brass landed around my feet after bouncing off the partition. In any case, he placed me at the far left, not on the right. I hardly ever shoot semi-autos, so I'm not sure how the ejection compares, I just know it's a gun that shoots well for me, and one I trust to do its part, even if it's a little uncommon.DFWCHLer wrote:Doesn't the 1006 throw brass a long way - longer than your average Glock?

It was pretty silly, and extremely over-reactive.
When I qualified, I fired next to a friend who was firing an HK USP in .45. Now, I own HKs and in fact qualified with my USP... I know how they kick brass. That said, I wasn't thinking, and took my position to his right. I still shot a 250, despite his hot 45ACP brass bouncing off the top of my head.

In my class I saw several Glocks of different flavors, a couple of XD's and a Bersa Thunder. I shot with my S&W 1006 (the only semi-auto I own), which prompted the instructor to position me on the end of the firing line, I guess so the powerful shock waves emanating from the dreaded 10mm wouldn't disrupt the brainwaves and blur the vision of the other shooters on the line.
