Looking for some confirmation

Have a 9mm Colt 10.5 complete upper
Colt Lower and top loading Hahn block

Have about 1000-1200 rounds through it.

Recently having many stovepipes with all of the magazines. Colt mags and Wolff springs or Colt mags with stock springs.

What is the average life on the extractor? Any tweaking?

Pulled it out and cleaned it on two occasions and installed a new pin.

Thinking of ordering a new extractor?

Thanks in advance
Brook

I think I would closely inspect the extractor, it may be chipped and need a new one.

The ejector too.

If both parts (extractor and ejector) look good, then have you moved your mag block any? I've found with my RRA that there is a sweet spot where it works (a hair too high or low and the weapon malfunctions in either feeding or ejection).
