Para P16 extractor

[kmca]

My Para P16, without the power extractor, needs a new one. I have a Wilson Bullet Proof extractor, Series 70, and it's too long. I always thought the Para would use a standard 1911 extractor???? What's the difference between a series 70 and 80 extractor?

The only difference between a Series 70 and a Series 80 extractor is the little semi-circular cut-out where the Firing Pin Safety plunger goes. There is not a length difference.

A 80 will fit in a Series 70, but not vice-versa.

Too long at the front or back? Too long at the front you may have to try another, too long at the back, you file or sand it down to match your slide. Make sure it's a 9mm/40 extractor.

The distance between the firing pin stop slot and the hook is too long by about .030. I didn't know there was a difference between a 9mm and a 45 extractor.

Edit: I pulled an extractor from my 9mm and tried it...it fits perfectly. I guess there is a difference between a 9/40 extractor and a 45 or coincidence?

Look at the hooks under a magnifying glass and you'll see the differences, primarily that the .45 extractor has a larger "face" dimension and correspondingly deeper hook.

Thanks for the information. Until now, I thought all 1911/2011 extractors were the same
