Yes!! Mines looked like that - but substantially worse. I fired 3 brands of ammo to make sure it wasn't just the ammo. All were varying degrees of that picture, all a little worse. I should have gone straight to the range and fired the replacement pistol but I've just not had time. Now the weather is turning atrocious and quite cold. I'll try to get to the range for a few rounds tomorrow.
Has anyone seen primers do that? Can you see where it's expanding into the firing pin hole - at least thats what it appears to me. Anyone else have a PT 1911 that's "normal", please post pictures of your primer strikes?? I hope everyone checks their casings. Certainly looks abnormal to me.
