You can plainly see the brass smears on the sharp edges. If it weren't Parkerized, I'd have already gotten out the dremel.


Yes, new pistol, second trip to the range.

PM John, then call customer service. May be an incorrect flare, however with a compact, may be as easy to fix as changing the recoil spring due to timing

My RIA compact is flared exactly the same way yours is and it does not dent the brass like that.

I suspect your extractor may be a little tight.

I would agree but I am no smith. I would try to adjust your extractor it looks like its a bit tight.

Does altering the ejector and extractor constitute "Unauthorized Gunsmithing"???

(which voids the warranty)

"If the firearm was modified and/or repaired by an unqualified gunsmith without permission from Armscor, then the warranty will be void."
