PEETERSMARC Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 My source tells me that if the extractor breaks on the M&P, the slide needs to be replaced - If this is indeed true, this issue is keeping me from buying the M&P - this part in any gun is a very hard service piece of the gun - Thoughts? Hello, It's possible to place one order for one spare extractor I receive the mine by direct order to my dealer, The last time i have clean my M&P i remove my extractor for cleaning, but it's not easy to remove the pin but it's possible with the correct tools and i don't have any trouble with my pistol (+20.000 Rnds) Sorry for my bad english Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike cyrwus Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 Hello everyone -There has been some great information shared about the M&P, but I find it interesting that there seems to be no discussion about the extractor - From what I have learned, the extractor is a factory-installed part. Although some owners have managed to get the extractor out of the slide, it is not something easily done - and the factory does not offer them for sale - My source tells me that if the extractor breaks on the M&P, the slide needs to be replaced - If this is indeed true, this issue is keeping me from buying the M&P - this part in any gun is a very hard service piece of the gun - Thoughts? sw Your source is wrong.

ysued Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 Your source is wrong. Yes, this part is easily replaced, but at the same time, I know they DO break, but I have yet to see one breaking. If your extractor ever breaks, you can send the slide to S&W and they will replace it. Y Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fireant Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 I've never broken one of mine, but I did see a buddy forget to put his back in after a detail cleaning of the gun. It just happened to be the night before a major match. If you do remove it don't drop it, they are small and easy to forget about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been shooting my M&P9 for almost one year, I'll have to clean it sometime, I haven't yet!! I'll throw in on my ultrsonic tank filled with M-Pro7 for 20 minutes and be done with it.

Y If you shoot lead bullets, removing and cleaning the extractor isn't optional. Lube and other crud build-up will turn an otherwise reliable gun into a sometimes gun. How do I know this? Trust me, I know this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

revchuck Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 Now, wouldn't the Ultrasonic take care of the residue in the extractor??I don't know, that's why I ask. Y - I don't know - I've never had access to an ultrasonic cleaner. One way to find out would be to shoot a few hundred rounds through the gun and then stick it in the ultrasonic cleaner, disassembling the gun afterwards to check the extractor. If it works, then you're golden. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it works, then you're golden. I will be loading Billy Bullets, they are Moly Coated Lead, with no Lube, I might just test it with about 500 rounds first and shake the gun disassembled for 20 minutes, then leave the slide in the tank shaking for another 30 minutes. Thanks for your feedback, I never thought about the lube and lead residue. I haven't cleaned my gun in almost a year, but I have shot only factory FMJ's on it.

ChrisStock Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 I shoot pure cast lead in my M&P. The combination of cheap bullets, cheaper powder make for big cleanups, but nothing insurmountable. I have 3-4K through it, and as I hit it with the boresnake when I get home, and use the toothbrush in the chamber, everything is groovy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
