Right. The extractor 'is' on the right side. The 'edge' or the 'hooked' portion (on my 1300) seems to have a slightly "wider" portion on the down or lower side and it tapers to about 2/3's width (the hook thickness) on the upper side. On many of my pistols the 'extractor' is the same width across, the edge has no difference in size from either side.

But the more I research this the more I am wondering about "why" the casing or hull "isn't" being "snatched" by the extractor. The shotgun is new, clean and has only about 50 rounds through it over the past two years.

Well, weird. The chamber does 'slip itself open' after firing as it is designed to do, just doesn't grab the fired hull and flip it out... jamming it forward (closing it) will EASILY and PERFECTLY engage the hull and bring it back for a proper reload of the next shell.

Thanks.
