My Gen 3 19 likes to sling spent brass back into my forehead. Seems to happen once every mag or so. Is there anyway to tune the extractor to fix this. My 26 and 17 do not do this.

My new Gen 4 does the same thing.  My daughter and a good friend of mine both have Gen 3 19s, and they don't do this.  I figured mine might be due to the heavier recoil spring.

I have that problem too G17 second gen.
I have to have a death grip to stop the brass from hitting the brim on my hat

regardless of autoloader I shoot especially when in a match type scenario often after shooting the gun another shooter will tell me I have marks on my face from brass hitting me. I don't notice it during the shooting however.

Classic sign of limp-wristing (ie, poor grip form).  What kind of grip are you using?

BTW, not saying you're doing this, just asking.  My Walther ejected this way for the first few hundred rounds, even with a nice, high firm grip.

Hotter ammo will often scape the brass on the bottom of the ejection port as it's ejected.  That will also make the brass go back at your face.  It did it with both my G17 and G19.  It leaves a visible scrape on the case mouth.  To me, it was more annoying because I reload and didn't want my brass getting worn out.  I've rounded off the sharp edge on the bottom of the ejection ports using craytex deburring cylinders - no more scrapes.

A high thumbs forward grip. I use the same grip on all of my glocks, only the 19 throws brass in my face.
