zeeshan - not sure why shells are hitting you in the face. Is this a problem with one gun (maybe an extractor issue) or is this a problem with several guns? I assume you're not angling the gun sideways gangster style.

I own several Glocks, Sigs, HKs and many 1911s in both 10mm and 45. I've never experienced this issue.

To your original question regarding ejection port location on the HK - It is located top right - similar to just about every auto handgun. Shells should eject straight to your right. I have both HK USP and HK45 and have experienced no ejection issues.

To your original specs regarding the HK45c...

1. extremely reliable and very durable - YES

2. polygonal barreling and other any features for highest accuracy. - YES

3. ejection port to the right (not extended upwards). - You will not find any modern auto where the ejection port is not top and right with respect to bore axis.

4. decocker and manual safety(with safety on the pin should be blocked and not just the trigger). YES - frame decocker and manual thumb safety. On a side note - stay away from slide mounted decockers/safeties.

5. fast target acquisition sights ( eg 3 dots or glock type sights , and preferably night sights to glow in dark)- Yes - 3 dots standard. Night sights not yet available but this is an easy smith mod.

6. medium or just compact size for concealed carry( but in no way the compactness should compromise the reliability and durability factor. meaning, size factor can be compromised but not the reliability and long service life factor of the gun). YES - Size is compact and very concealable. Much thinner than the USP line.

7. smoothest and lightest trigger pull possible as in my experience trigger pull adds considerably to accuracy. Stock trigger pull is best of any HK I've shot but this is subjective.

8. light weight if possible (but not at the stake of any traits mentioned above). Not sure of the weight but as it is a polymer frame it certainly isnt heavy. About what you would expect from a Glock or Springfield XD.
