That is NOT right and the firing pin hole in the breech face is WAY WAY WAY too large. I don't care what ammo or primers you use, that is just a simple case of a firing pin hole that is EXTREMELY over sized. The primer should blow out completely from overpressure before that happens, there is no excuse other than a slide that was machined incorrectly.
