Dan-O-Mite Posted July 1, 2010 Share Posted July 1, 2010 I just got my second Tanfoglio Limited Custom. I was having some issues with failure to extract, about 1 out of 50. I had ordered an extra extractor for my first gun but hadn't needed it yet, so I put that in. The last 250 rounds went with no issues. Now the two extrators looked exactly the same to my eye, except that the one Henning sent me had a number "40" on it and the one that came out of the gun had the number "45". Do these numbers mean anything important, like caliber? The gun is a .40 S+W so I'm just wondering if I should toss the extractor because it's the wrong caliber, or keep it for the first gun cause it's no good in the second gun. By the way, I tried to install the new extractor with a Wolf extra power spring, my thumbs are still hurting. The new extractor went in with the factory spring, I gave up on the Wolf spring after a 1/2 hour. I may have tried longer (or used better tools), but I was at the range. Wolf isn't kidding around when they say extra power. ouch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronemus Posted July 2, 2010 Share Posted July 2, 2010 The 40 and 45 do indeed designate caliber; unless one of your guns is a .45 the other extractor is worthless. You might talk to EAA about exchanging/replacing it since they put the wrong part in your gun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
