Yeah, that's part of the mystery.weird that the strikes are not in the middle though
I'm guessing its a piece of range pick up brass? Maybe fired in something with a weak striker spring or hammer spring if out of a revolver.View attachment 761663
I couldn't even begin to guess what would do this. You guys?
I think most all of them will go off with hit like that, Go to the range and start picking up brass and you will see it oftenI what kind of primer has an anvil such that an off center firing pin would work with any kind of reliability?
I’d think any gun that did that would have a ton of misfires.
Jennings or Lorcen?weird that the strikes are not in the middle though
I've got a revolver that strikes a little off center, but its off in the vertical plane not horizontal. I'm thinking that is the case here too.

Nothing is 100%, some primers are hard some are soft, Common 1911 issue, hit can be adjusted by barrel fit and lockup, keep digging through the brass bucket you will see it if you look“Most all” doesn’t seem like a reliability standard I’d trust for anything important.
I’ve looked at a lot of range brass, and can’t remember any that were that far off center.
Yep. "Cop killer" right thereDouble tap “snake bite” primer strike — pretty rare, super killy. Intended to blow the lungs right out of the human body.
not only 1911, an any modified gun with lighter springs can do that. quite unusual for it to be that much off center, but, well, it is what it is.Nothing is 100%, some primers are hard some are soft, Common 1911 issue, hit can be adjusted by barrel fit and lockup, keep digging through the brass bucket you will see it if you look
don't take my word for it though google is your friend
Don't 1911s oftentimes have offset primer strikes?Yes, but what pos could have done this?
Refer back to post #17.Don't 1911s oftentimes have offset primer strikes?
I'm not calling the 1911 a POS, but I believe it is a common trait with many of them.
