How much primer denting is acceptable?

I know it is inevitable, I know it's going to happen, but the other question is why?

The job that I am doing right now requires us to carry every where I go, but there are certain places the ask us to clear our weapons before we enter. While doing so I noticed that the primers have indents on them. So I am asking for the assistance and the opinion here.

Thanks in advance.

The firing pin is free floating, so it will impact the primer upon chambering.  It causes no problems, and is perfectly normal.  The FP as nowhere near enough momentum to cause it to fire.
