Yes, pistols can eject spent cartridge cases when firing. This process occurs as part of the semi-automatic or automatic cycling of the firearm, where the energy from the fired round operates the action to extract and eject the empty casing. The design of the pistol, including its ejection port and extractor, plays a crucial role in ensuring reliable case ejection. Proper maintenance and functioning of these components are essential for the pistol's reliable operation.
