[QUOTE="billt, post: 3161489, member: 5188"] I'm betting it's the crappy ammo. What production number is your gun? You can tell by looking on the left side of the frame, just ahead of the slide release. Look at the last 4 numbers. (You will notice on the picture I posted mine is number 1,459. That designates it was the 1,459th gun manufactured. From the information I've been able to gather, it was the first 300 and under guns that were afflicted with extractor issues. Another thing you want to check is the centrality of the barrel in relationship to the chamber. Again, some of the early guns got out with off center bored barrels. This will effect extractor positioning on the rim of the cartridge, if it is off center. Take a pair of calipers. (If you don't have a set, you can get a pair from Harbor Freight for around $15.00 that will work fine). Measure one side from the flat on the outside of the barrel, to the inside of the chamber. Do the same on the other side. Mine was within .001. If the barrel is out of spec, replacing the extractor won't help. If the chamber checks central, then replacing the extractor is easy. The kit from BH Spring Solutions is good to have regardless. Having things like an extra extractor, firing pin retaining plate, along with all of the various springs can always come in handy. If your barrel is off, (and I'm seriously doubting it is), LKCI will replace any bad parts free of charge. Here is a video showing how to replace the firing pin retaining plate and extractor from BH Spring Solutions. It shows both from 17:00 to 28:00 in the video. Underneath the video is a link to the Weapon Shield Lithium Grease. The Weapon Shield Oil is very good as well. It's all I use now.
