I was shooting a used Springfield 1911 .45 that I acquired, for the first time today. I shot a box of 50 Winchester White box without a single hiccup. When I was about finished, I saw that there was one cartridge left in the box. I stuck the one shell in my new (same mag I was using earlier) Wilson Combat mag, racked it, and fired the one shell. I did not notice anything unusual. It fired, and ejected. I happened to look down at the shell casing after it hit the ground and noticed it looked unusual. I picked it up and it was really crimped/damaged. I know it was the one I had just fired as it was still warm. It looks like there is a mark on the butt end edge of the casing, maybe from the extractor? I am no gun expert, what may have caused this, and what might I need to look at on my gun? Pics attached... Thanks for any input.
