When it comes to 9mm X-Five extraction problems, it seems to be luck of the draw. Mine was really problematic, but there are a good number of people who have never had an issue. I didn't have an extraction problem this past season, but my shooting volume was way down. I will say, that when my Allround is working it is by far, hands down, my favorite pistol to shoot. I would take it to the range over anything else I own. It feels great in the hand, popgun recoil, and great accuracy.
