DWM Commerical breechblock question

Looking closely at the extractor,it looks free of any serious chip. Perhaps a tiny bit around the front edge.

The firing pin seems to fit tightly in the firing pin hole on the breech block face?

Will get some more pics tonight!
Thanks
Bob

Must be an optical illusion - In your pic, it looks like part of the left corner is broken off...

The first picture of the spent cases look to me like all the primers have a convex shape suggesting some blow back. To my eye they appear to be raised as opposed to a flat surface. Perhaps these cartridges were to hot for this pistol and the primer caused the depression in the breech block.

You show a box of Western ammo. Were the cartridges you fired reloads or the factory ammo?
