Do I read that correctly as a
fired case? (as so stated in post #1)
If so, the primer has very naturally backed out upon firing -- but usually reseats itself against the back of the recoil shield as the case moves moves back under full pressure.
In your case it did not -- and was left dragging against the shield upon cylinder rotation.
(That can actually lock the gun up -- as it apparently did yours)
I would offer that's an ammunition problem (low pressure), possibly exacerbated by a rough cylinder that wouldn't allow the case to slide back. But that'd water under the bridge at this point.
I'll be very interested in the Beretta VP's response to his people apparently doing actual damage to the revolver.
