I was out shooting my Kimber stainless target and noticed that the fired cases have a subtle "ding" on the bottom that appears to be where the extractor impacted the case. It was forceful enough to slightly bend that portion of the case down towards the extraction rim of the case. I suspect that they can be reloaded and fired, however.
I'm assuming that this is the extractor. My other 1911's don't do this. I suspect that the extractor is too "stout" and requires significant force to snap over the case head. How would I go about correcting this problem? I already tried putting in a a lighter (16#) spring, but it had no effect.
Thanks for any suggestions.
