Dash, your primers look way more normal than mine or poster "para ida". I could live with your primer strikes I think. But "para ida's" and the one I had something going on thats not "normal". The only things I think it could be is an excessively large firing pin hole in the slide or head space problems. I've never seen excessive pressure balloon a primer as these are. I hope to shoot my replacement PT 1911 later today and I'll post after looking at the fired cases.
