The left picture gives me pause, as you can see the primer flowing back into the firing pin exit hole, that is usually a sign of overpressure. Both primers having the little divot off the center mark, to me as a gunsmith, says the action is unlocking before the bullet has exited completely from the muzzle, If you came to me with this problem, I would tell you to try alternate ammo, and maybe install a heavier mainspring, after examining your pistol first of course, finding no obvious flaws in the action. I have not found this normal with Glocks, even shooting nuclear loads in my model 20, flattened out primers, oh yeah, but not that dragging of the firing pin across the primer. Something keeping the firing pin from returning quickly could do it as well, which could lead to full auto. If this is normal, I would like to know why???
