konkapot Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 Shot 1000 rds out of a new 9mm 1911. Runs great. Take gun to match; gun won't extract reliably. Take gun home after match, tune extractor. Shoot 500 rds in practice; runs great. Take gun to match, 3 stages go fine 4 stage gun won't extract. Mix of factory and reloaded ammo. Bad extractor? Missed a step in manufacturing process?

kmca Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 Can you be a bit more descriptive? Case stays in chamber? Stovepipe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve RA Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 On the surface it seems like an extractor problem, although using mixed ammunition isn't really a good idea. Do you have any idea what - factory or reloads - you had the problem with ??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
konkapot Posted August 9, 2014 Author Share Posted August 9, 2014 Reloads in practice ran great. Factory ammo at matches was problematic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bountyhunter Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 (edited) Empty case stays in chamber.First I would polish the throat as some have rotary milling lines from cutting. Also, is throat diameter to spec? If extractor hook is sharp and tension is correct, pretty much leaves the barrel or the ammo. Try other brands of ammo. Next time you have a case stuck in the throat, reach in with finger nail or small screwdriver and check how hard it is to slide it out. If it's too tight, the extractor will just slip the rim. This problem is very common shooting steel case ammo because the case expands and does not come back down as much as brass and stays tight in the barrel throat.
