Yeah, a Glock (and others) can suffer extractor damage having to jump over a cartridge case rim.
I done did that once, being in a hurry to correct a malfunction in the middle of a match stage, when a round got loose on the way to the chamber.
I kept racking the slide until the extractor captured the rim again.
About half of the extractor face broke clean off.
Fortunately, that part of the extractor is large enough that the gun continued to run just fine for the rest of the match.
But they can be damaged that-a-way.
