When you click to post the reply, scroll down below the composition window to the button that says "Manage Attachments" in the Attach Files box. Inside you get an option to upload images just by browsing to their file location and clicking on them and then clicking on the Upload button. This will attach photos as long as the files aren't too large.

If they are big, go to ImageShack.us. Again, browse to select the image file. About 2/3 down the page you get the option to resize. Select a size. 640x480 is a good limit for boards. Then tell it to upload. It will resize on the fly if your image is larger than that, but leaves it alone if it is not.

After it uploads, Image Shack takes you to a new page with links. Click on the one that says "Direct Link". Highlight and copy the direct link. Come back to the post composition window. Put the cursor where you want the photo, then click on the little postcard icon at the top of the window. A pop-up window will appear with an address bar. Click in that to highlight "http://" and then paste in the Image Shack address you copied. (That copy will have its own "http://" so when you finish, make use the back arrow to scroll left and make sure you didn't get two? You only want that once.) Then click the OK button and your image, hosted at Image Shack, will be inserted by that link.

The case spin around and dent is affected by loads because the more energy they transfer to the slide, the faster the slide recoils back. The two common gunsmithing steps to address this are to put in a stiffer recoil spring, and to alter the ejector nose form and maybe set it back a bit. You can get springs from Wolff to try for yourself (scroll down to find the model 19; they make 4 "extra power" weights you could try). I would use an experienced Glock pistol smith to modify the ejector. Be aware that either step may make the gun less reliable with light loads.

Reloading cases until you start to get splits is not uncommon, at which point you usually pitch the whole lot of brass. It's one reason to keep lots together so they all have the same load history. Keep in mind your cases are not likely to hit the exact same spot on the case every time, so they may last longer than you think.

You should be able to look around on the gun and find brass traces where the cases hit. See if its a spot you can safely round and polish the edge of that is causing the scratch mark?
