Hello, I have ittle experience with 1911's but recently got back into them with a SA RO Elite Operator in 9mm. I have not shot it yet, but the stock extractor seemd to fit very well and apply appropriate tension. Even so, I bought a Wilson Combat BulletProof extractor (9mm/38 super size, of course) for a little added peace of mind and to use the stock extractor as a spare.
Well, no matter how much bend I applied, I couldn't get it to put really any tension on a case. It's quite a pain to remove and install the extractor at this point, and I'm no closer to achieving tension. The firing pin stop fits the extractor channel well. But, It's almost as if the extractor is too long? The claw sticks beyond the case rim, and the rear sticks out beyond the slide.
I don't currently have pictures of the stock extractor, but will take pictures tonight. Thoughts on the gap pictured and the overhanging material in the rear?
