I bought a SR 1911 5" and a CMD. Is the extractor designed to snap over the rim of a chambered round or must it rise up under the extractor claw as fed from the clip. Don't want to damage anything.
Brownells said:As the pistol cycles after firing, a fresh round is stripped from the magazine
by the slide as it comes forward. The bullet nose travels up the feed
ramp and is cammed into the chamber. As the cartridge is camming, at
about the 45-degree mark, the rim encounters the extractor. The rim of
the cartridge is fed into the extractor hook and then it is cammed
outward as the bullet is chambered.

Many "changes" are proposed to make money for someone else.

sliclee said:My question was about "external extractors" not about part swaps. Many of you 1911 experts, I call that, I have read where you bought a sig instead of colt because of external extractors work better,YES or NO.
I just know your gonna throw me a curve, Lee
