Blackbird2756 Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 I had about 30,000 through my new S2. Was getting FTE 1 in 100. Bought new extractor and extractor spring, problem solved.... Just replace the parts... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rchaas Posted August 29, 2019 Author Share Posted August 29, 2019 tried replacing, didn't work. the extra power spring with 1/2 coil removed has worked 100% so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noshootmagnet Posted September 4, 2019 Share Posted September 4, 2019 My second shadow 2 developed the same problem at 3-4000 rounds. It would run fine for about 150-175 rounds and then FTE. Did it to me 3 times on one stage in a match. I tried removing the extractor and cleaning it and the channel - didn't help. Then I replaced the extractor spring with a new oem spring - didn't help. Then i replaced the extractor and spring - didn't help. Then I replaced the oem extractor spring with the extra power spring with 1-1/2 coils cut off and haven't had a FTE in 750 rounds.

dpeppe01 Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 Replaced extractor spring with extra power spring (40 S&W spring) with a coil cut off. Shot probably 15 mags through it.....so far so good. Thanks for you help with this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you recommend doing this with just a q-tip and some flitz or using something slightly more aggressive like a Dremel with felt pads and flitz/similar compound? I'd hate to remove too much material and risk destroying the chamber. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malarky112 Posted September 13, 2021 Share Posted September 13, 2021 (edited) I’m having the same issue (fte) with a new S2 and a new Primary Arms milled slide. 500 roundstotal and todays match I had at least 5-6 fte’s. I’ve had about 9 total. I thought maybe it was a recoil spring issue, I’ve got an 11# in. (147 gr, 135ish pf). I threw a 10# in for one stage and it seemed to make it worse. Ammo I am using worked flawless in my S1 so I’m kind of frustrated. I’ve heard of using an A01 extractor might help?

fyaman43 Posted September 13, 2021 Share Posted September 13, 2021 I was having intermittent extraction issues with my AccuS2 but recently replaced my recoil spring (run 11#, long overdue for replacement), extractor/pin, and standard power extractor spring. Also gave my factory crimp die an extra little twist. Runs like a champ again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo191145a1 Posted September 19, 2021 Share Posted September 19, 2021 I know this is an old thread - but, I have the exact same issue in my new S2. Tried cleaning the extractor and replaced the extractor spring. Less than 1000 rounds through the gun and this malfunctions every 50 rounds or so… any new revelations?

Currywurst Posted September 20, 2021 Share Posted September 20, 2021 How to tell if it's a nitride barrel? Have a new Shadow 2 with 2% extraction failures. Extractor tension seems normal, certainly no less than on my Shadow 1 with zero extraction issues. Wondering if to start with polishing chamber or extractor / extractor spring. An extractor fix on a new gun seems rather like a workaround of an underlying problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malarky112 Posted September 20, 2021 Share Posted September 20, 2021 So I’ve noticed some of my friends S2 barrels the feed ramp is shiny silver, while mine is black coated. I’m assuming that’s the nitride coating. I switched to an extra barrel that came with a slide I bought as an extra. I believe it came from a czc gun so the feed ramp was polished, I’m assuming maybe the chamber as well? I’ve now shot 250 rounds with no issues. I did pull the extractor and clean it but didn’t find anything obvious and gun was brand new so I’m doubtful that solved anything. I noticed my rounds would not spin freely when plunk testing my new S2 barrel, and I only load to 1.085 so I don’t believe they were bottoming out. I believe they were sticking in the chamber. They spin freely in the replacement barrel that I am using now. I trust Stuart (eerw) knows what he’s talking about and has seen this come up many times before. The real question is why is CZ sending out s2’s with this issue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S2cz Posted July 14, 2022 Share Posted July 14, 2022 (edited) I have two s2 oranges and have the same extraction issues. Any fixes?? I have done extractors, springs, load to 110. I have shot thousands of rounds in both guns. I am at me breaking point. This happens every couple hundred rounds Thanks Edited July 14, 2022 by S2cz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

normalnorm Posted March 14, 2023 Share Posted March 14, 2023 My shadow 2 is in warrantee repair for second time now for failure to extract. First repair was stronger extractor spring and polish and adjust extractor. This helps reduce failures but not 100%. Polish appears to be back side of extractor. What does that do? Adjustment of same is a mystery also. I don't care to hear about cleaning or ammo type etc. My Hi power nor my HK fail to extract ever never! Regardless of bullet brand or bullet weight reload or factory. I don't want to be required to buy and sort ammo to find the one this $1500 gun likes. Reading these posts tells me CZ needs to find the 100% fix. Can't wait to try their second fix attempt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DougCarden Posted March 15, 2023 Share Posted March 15, 2023 (edited) If the gun is has a Nitride finish I would recommend you polish the chamber. I have seen people that have had chambering/extracting issues improve after polishing the chamber...... Good luck!

ColoradoNick Posted September 22, 2023 Share Posted September 22, 2023 I know this is an old thread but yesterday I swapped to a titanium guide rod and had two failure to extracts in a single match. Maybe 8-10k on the gun, I had never cleaned the extractor channel so I did that and it was pretty dirty. I went ahead and ordered a new extractor and spring. I also use a 9lb recoil spring but it's been flawless for 3-4k rounds. Is there any reason a lighter guide rod would induce failure to extracts?
