Hi, I have purchased a secondhand Pardini HP in 32. I have noticed a small crease on the case after firing. It is about 2 thirds of the way from the rim and about 3mm long and perpendicular to the case length. I assume it is happening on ejection.
I also have a left hand grip on it. I have put rubber on the obvious sharp edge of the grip...no reduction.
Does anybody have a similar experience or solution.
Also does anybody have an answer to a case catcher design that is suitable for this gun.

I’ve not noticed that on mine. Any chance the dent is from feeding v ejection?

Reloads or factory? Specifics?

I use the CMM brass catcher, works fine for me.

What is your load and velocity ?

Thanks, the thought has crossed my mind that it could be aligned with the top RH front of the magazine. I will test this WE without magazine.
Where are CMM catchers available from ?
They are reloads ---98gn HBWC 1.9gn WSF

Re your issue, is this a new issue, or are you new to the gun, or perhaps reloading. I ask because 32 S&W long reloading can be more challenging than many other calibers. Details that likely wouldn’t matter much for .45, suddenly become much more significant.

New to this gun purchased is as secondhand only put 200 thru it so far. I have reloaded for many years and 32swl revolver for ages. This crease is consistant. Gun is in excellent condition. Grouping is excellent and spent primers indicate acceptable pressure.
