1911 commander damaging brass

[huntinguy]

Took her out for a shakedown.
She really damages brass.
She smack a big flat on the case head opposite of the extractor.
Anyone heard of this?
Other than that, two inches for her first outing... no complaints here.

How about a picture so we can see it?

Look at the breechface and you'll see a corresponding raised area. The question is...Will machining the area away to match the rest of the breechface result in excessive headspace? Odds are that it will.

A return to Ruger for repair or replacement is in order.

Mine has the same raised area and does mark the brass. I have not bothered with it so far but might have to contact Ruger about it.

...on the case head opposite of the extractor.

Ejector marks?

I know this is an old thread, but I found the picture that explains the case damage.

 

[1911Tuner]

And this is what it does.

Hopefully the ejector is pinned in. Many now days are glued in only and can work loose. Not for sure on the Ruger 1911.
