I’m guessing that scratch was caused when you pulled the extractor out of the slide, only the very tip/ hook extends from the slide.

Not much actually sticks out, that mark is behind the hook, and you can tell it’s from pulling the extractor out cause of the tight fit, like a drag mark

Ok not arguing with ya but in large the first picture? That's above the hook . My Remington comes out easy never a problem . Is it I haven't done enough 1911s ?
 
Some extractors are very hard to get out, and yes the mark is above the hook, that part is inside the slide, and you can’t compare 2 guns from different manufacturers, the reason, it depends on how they adjust and fit the extractor, I still say it’s a drag mark from removing it, there is no way an round could/can cause that mark. I’m no expert but with over 30+ years with various 1911’s, and having seen weird things with them and how some manufacturers fit parts, you would be amazed, also the extractor will move back and forth a tiny bit as the round gets chambered due the the normal spring type action of the extractor, which also could cause/help make that mark

I'll be lmao ok thank you learned something new. This is my 2nd 1911 except the military 50 years ago. I really didnts know they were all diffrent. I know now thanks lol
 
From the manual for the Beretta Bobcat page 22:

NOTE: It is important that a weapon be kept clean and
properly oiled to insure perfect function but
weapons are often "worn out" or damaged more
by unnecessary and excessive degree of disassembly and assembly rather than actual shooting.

In the parlance of our ancestors- "If it ain't broke, don't fix it."

I have lost tiny springs or their plungers more than once. I have to restrain myself from tearing down any new toy I get my hands on.
 
To be honest, I hardly ever take the extractors or firing pins out of any of my 1911’s, reason is after some time the firing pin plate eventually starts getting loose, I can’t remember the last time I took mine apart to clean and lightly oil, been years. Like Conax said….. if it ain’t broke don’t fix it.
