Yep.I noticed that too, I do believe that that is the mark the extractor made due to the excess pressure and was yanking the crap out of that case to get it out and gone.
Not to hijack the thread, seemed an appropriate place to show this. 9mm range pick up. Not exactly sure how it happened

When I *finally* got the 9mm case out of my 40, that's exactly what it looked like. Exactly...
I have one just like it sitting on the bench. There was no issue other than the gun didn't cycle. Shell fell right out racking the slide, and the bullet key-holed the paper target about 7" high at 50' if I recall correctly.
What causes this? It almost looks like a small brass plate overlay.
I have never seen anything like that...

Thanks, Helo!Its dented inward, the light in the photo makes it look like its protruding. But its decently smashed inward. ITs a large area for an ejector, I was thinking like part of the slide opening.
Mine wouldn't fall out. It wouldn't rack out. I had to get a squib rod and pound it out. Gun showed no sign of any issues (it was a SIG, so of course it took the abuse)...I have one just like it sitting on the bench. There was no issue other than the gun didn't cycle.

It's from CSB! Cheap Sh!t Brass!Lets see who can correctly ID the make of this brass?
Kind of looks like a piece of scrap got in the way during striking. All the letters line up perfectly eliminating the possibility of double strike.Bought a few thousand .45ACP mixed range brass out of Texas. Processing since last weekend as time allows. This poor dude had a bad day. Primer pierce/blow out and bulged the brass bad. Just going into the brass recycling bin, but yikes!

Arm Chair : Extractor mark is at 10:00. That looks like the fixed ejector bump on some firearms. Recoil operated firearm, case pushes slide/BCG back, the inertia of the case hits the bump and ejects it out the port.Its dented inward, the light in the photo makes it look like its protruding.
