Colt Gold Cup Really Bad Throw

I was out target shooting today with my .45s. During my session with my Colt Gold Cup, I was hit under my left eye with a case extraction. I was hit hard enough to draw some pretty good blood. My stance was a two handed triangle grip with the gun out directly in front of my eyes. The shell flew straight back, caught me under the left eye, and ended up bouncing off my face landing in front of my position. And yes, I was wearing eye protection.

After gathering my composure, I finished off the magazine with no further malfunctions. I noticed the pattern of the other cases was where it should be, right and to the rear.

My question is, what would cause such a dangerous malfunction. Is this a sign of the extractor going bad? There has been nothing done to the stock gun.
