Damaged breech block/lots of brass

Hi all.

I picked up a shooter the other day and while cleaning it after about 100 rounds fired, I noticed the top right of my breechblock had a chip taken out of the corner directly to the right of the extractor where the extractor rests in the BB. (looking at the pistol as if aiming it) I want to say that chip was not there when I bought the pistol as I would have questioned it.

Anyone else have this happen? Is this now a safety issue?


I've also noticed copious amounts of small brass filings and dust throughout the inside of the pistol during cleaning. I figure the extractor is the culprit because I can't see any rough edges or burrs around the chamber. But that doesn't mean there aren't any.


To date I've fired 50 rnds of UMC 115 grn fmj, 50 rnds of Winchester 115 grn fmj, and one rnd of Wolf steel cased fmj.


This being my first P08, any suggestions will be appreciated.

Thanks for reading.
