When inspecting my casings, I did notice a diagonal ding on the side of almost every one. Some were more pronounced than others. Any idea what might be causing that?

If its a mil-spec slide...possibly the lack of a lowered and flared ejection port???

Here is the other profile of this gun. As you can see, it already has a lowered and flared ejection port. Any other ideas? I think I may post this in the gunsmithing section as well. Thanks.

OK, so much for that idea! I suppose the other possibilities would be the face angle on the ejector possibly not being correct or possibly the tension on the extractor not correct. You might try looking over the FAQ on extractor tension and make sure thats correct. Maybe the the tension is too high and the case is getting "hammered" into the slide when it ejects. If it gets really high, you'll start having FTF problems.
