I converted a 9mm XDm 5.25 to an open gun using the Carver mount. The problem I am running up against is that the extractor is ejecting the empty cases into the lower portion of the mount and the empty case is not completely ejected causing a jam almost every time I shoot. What modification do I need to make to the extractor to make it eject the cases on a lower trajectory to avoid hitting the mount? Thanks

Is the mount in its farthest forward position? If not I would give that a try be for changing the extractor/ejector.

No it wasn't in it's furthest forward position. I moved it as suggested and will test it out at the range one day this week and will post results. Thanks for the tip. If this works am I going to have to re-zero the C-more?
