I took out my 1911 to shoot today and i noticed on the shells when i got home that all have a small dint near the end when the bullet goes in. is there a reason for this? this is my first 1911 and i have not seen this on any of my other pistols.

The empty case is striking the ejection port area of the slide on the way out. What model 1911 do you have?"You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means."
"What we get away with isn't usually the same as what's good for us"
"An extended slide stop is the second most useless part you can put on a 1911"
"While Ruger DA revolvers may be built like a tank, they have the aesthetics of one also,
although I suppose there are a few tanks which I owe an apology to for that remark" -
It is an ar sales frame with a colt slideComment

Is there a way to fix it from hitting it? it shoots and cycles just fine thoughComment

Try some other ammo. Mine does this with +P Loads, but not my light target loads.

It's common for most 1911 design pistols. Don't worry about it.***Honesty is the Foundation of One's Character***
*** In comparing the virtues of various calibers, using hollow point ammo: it is absolutely undeniable that, while a 9 mm or .40 S&W may or may not expand, a .45 will never shrink. ***

ejector might be a little wore and maybe shorter.Comment

Lower & flare the ejection port. This is common & the previously mentioned is the cure.Comment

thanks for the help ill look into getting it done. i am still happy with a $360 1911 thoughComment

No need to lower the port. Just tune the extractor with a small file, first. That should do it! I had the same smashed case issue until I did this.

Thanks otteray ill have to try that and it will still make a cheap pistolComment

Just as an experiment; buy a box of Blazer non-reloadable rounds and I'll bet they won't get dinged (or else, dinged a lot less!)
I don't know if it is relevant, it's only just an observation with my Springfield GI 1911 before I tuned the extractor.sigpic
