OK, first one of these I have ran into.
Pistol has been flawless as far as feeding and extracting
(in the middle of a match so didn't recover the problem case, or the mag it was in, multiple mags laying about and someone picked a couple up for me....sigh)
Gun was cleaned, extractor channel cleaned before the match, maybe 90 rounds in before it happened.
Checked tension with the slide off by inserting loaded (dummy) round and shaking slide.
Seems ok.
I could bend it a little to increase tension but not sure if that is the answer.
Bad piece of brass?
Extractor just getting worn out? (20K+ rounds on it)
Maybe time for a new extractor, but something else maybe?
Mag, recoil spring etc?
Fired another 100 rounds after the match, no problems of course since I was trying to get it to fail.
