I think the EGW is more heavy duty and isn't the part Sig uses. EGW has this to say about their extractor in their Product Details: Due to popular demand, we were commissioned to manufacture a Sig Heavy Duty Extractor. The quality of steel used to produce Sig's original extractor is made with a low grade steel. If the owner of a Sig GSR fires an extensive amount of rounds, it is likely that the extractor will break. We machined our HD Extractor from tool steel for superior strength and durability. The pin and spring for this extractor are sold separately as a set to go with our extractor. It is recommended to change the pin and spring when changing the extractor. This extractor will work for ALL 1911 SIG models. We are unable to ship this part internationally.

EGW makes a replacement extractor for the Sig 1911 that is suppose to be more durable. https://www.egwguns.com/hd-sig-1911-external-extractor-blue

I carry Commanders. Lately I have gone to 9MM as I have arthritis in both hands. I carry IWB, something I find uncomfortable with other thicker pistols. I carry cocked and locked like Col. Cooper recommended. I use mostly Wilson ETM Mags. I carry one spare magazine with both magazines loaded with 124gr. JHPs' from any quality ammo manufacturer. 118798F0-7ECD-40FC-A9BC-31DC093A2765.heic

A bit off topic, but while I was watching the Nash Bridges TV Movie Saturday I saw what appeared to be a Tanfoglio Pistol being used by Don Johnson. It had a RMR Optic on it and appeared to be a pistol one could shoot in Carry Optics. Nobody said what caliber it was. I'd be amused if someone would of said 10MM.

I would also consider a Beretta that I could also shoot in Carry Optics in case that bug every bit you. https://www.langdontactical.com/92-elite-ltt-with-rdo-slide/

MOS would be the only way you could shoot an optic in GSSF Matches too.

Henning also has these guild rods that help to spread the recoil over a slightly larger area. https://www.henningshop.com/Detail.aspx?PROD=1284179&CAT=9249

I have used these for buffers. They also slightly shorten the slide cycle which would be like reducing the length of the ejector. https://www.henningshop.com/Detail.aspx?PROD=1291027&CAT=9249

I think Para did, but I don't have any more in .45ACP to check.

I think Glock should either buy or license the Shadow System method of mounting an Optic. Maybe they could even call it Gen 6.

Thank you Jim! They are out of stock as most ammo companies, but I will check back.

I don't reload anymore. Does anyone know of a manufacturer who produces a load like this?

Maybe even some guys who have seem John Wick III. LOL

My Dealer has one of these. It was priced higher than a Glock 17 Gen 3 setting next to it. The 80 Retro Glock didn't have a rail and the grip texture didn't look as good as the Gen 3. Think I'll pass even if the price comes down. About the only think I liked was the original tubberwear type box the Retro came in. Wish Glock would go back to it although there would be less room for a third magazine and the stupid lock.
