In your trouble shooting, you've either proven that a bunch of extractors are bad, or that something else entirely is the problem. Move on, try replacing the ejector or something. Unless I missed that in the thread....

It's strange. I've got a G22 police trade in that was made before the current situation. I've got a Storm Lake 9mm conversion barrel for it an an AA .22 kit. 9mm barrel dropped right in and has fired without a problem since I got it. Same with the AA conversion. So the older guns will fire fine even with an extractor and ejector made for adifferent caliber. Talk about the good old days! Wonder how conversion barrels have faired as a whole on the newer guns?
I had this happen to me last night. Newly built Polymer80 G17 with Glock LPK. Shot fine for 250 rounds (plus a ton of dry firing) then all of a sudden got supper heavy on the trigger. I had a police armorer look it over and he couldn't diagnose the problem either. I performed a full strip at home and upon reassembly the trigger feels normal. But I am nervous that it could crap out on me when I least expect it. Now I will keep a spare trigger bar on hand, just in case.
bringing threads back from the dead, are we?
next time you have the trigger bar out, stone polish all the contact points. don't remove material, just polish to a shine.

Thank God for the wisdom of dead threads!
I did polish my trigger bar and connector, just yesterday, before the problem started. Maybe I took off too much material and the underlying metal, even though it looks pretty, gets "sticky" when it's hot causing the bar and connector to bind up.
I found a very similar description in another dead thread and they concluded that a drop of oil between the trigger bar and the connector makes everything right with the world. I can't wait to get back to the range now to test the theory...
