Hi:

Your case seems to have an extremely wide extractor groove. In fact, it doesn't seem standard to me at all.

Is the ammo surplus pistol ammo or could it have been designed for machinegun use?

It looks like the case is slamming, rather violently, up against the extractor upon firing, rather than being held in place by it.

During normal extraction, a Luger's extractor will make a little mark halfway up the case as the case exits the pistol upon firing.

You have an interesting little problem.

Try another brand of ammo and see if the problem continues.
