Weird firing pin strike (pics inside)
The firing pin looks fine, so I am guessing the extractor is trying to eject the casing before the firing pin retracts. Put 100 rounds through it today and not a hiccup, didn't notice until I was cleaning up. Anyone else seen this?
(I only grabbed the three casings that stayed on the table, but I am guessing all of the rest look like this that fell on the floor in the mess of other people's casings.)

Truth is like the finest dagger ever made;
The steel cannot be dulled, chipped or broken.
Its thrust is deep and causes agonizing pain.
Those struck with the dagger of truth
must come to terms with the wicked lies
within their heart and soul.
No matter where you run or hide, nor how deep you dig your foxhole...the big green weenie WILL find you.

Primer wipe. Scared me the first time I saw it on some honest but safe 45 ACP loads. Some loads do it some loads don't. I wouldn't say it was normal but it does not scare me. Other pressure signs such as primer cratering or flattening are a different story.

Happened my first 100 rounds and than stopped. Same brand and type of ammo. I figured it was a break-in thing or something

I would take that and clean it all out , then run it dry in the pin and striker assembly. They dont like oil or grit. I dont consider it correct unless you shooting ammo with too high set primers or have a weak recoil spring . Maybe your milling is a tad off and they need to shorten the firing pin as those look like deep hits.
