Bad extractor or bad ammo?

Dirty chamber??? Cartridge looks like it is a bit on the hot side...and a dirty/corroded chamber won't extract properly...

I'd brush it real good, and maybe even some crocus cloth wrapped around a pencil or dowel and spun in the chamber to clean it up...

I like shiny chambers...

Tom,

You maybe correct about a 30Luger shot in a 9mm chamber, but that line on the brass looks like a cannalure that some companys put on their ammo to help prevent set back.....that is what I thought that it was. Plus, I believe that I can read 9mm on the casehead. Only the OP can tell us for sure.
