1911 broken extractor

[Captain Kaboom]

Hi ODT!

So I finally picked up my first new 1911, and after maybe 100-200 rounds, it stopped extracting. After taking a closer look, the extractor had broken off! Is this something unheard of?

Sounds like it had a heat treating issue with the part. I would immediately contact the manufacturer for repair or replacement part.

What make is it by the way?

It's a Tisas/Zenith. Yeah budget end, but seemed to be very solid.

MIM part...

It even happens with SA 1911's

I’ve seen broken extractors in 1911’s, SIG’s, Glocks, and more.

Have a quality extractor fitted. Wilson, Ed Brown, etc.

I'm sorry, but what do you mean by fitted? I can't just put in a replacement? I have a Wilson Combat bullet proof on the way.

^^^^ And once fitted with correct tension don’t drop the slide on a round in the tube. Let the slide strip it from the magazine and it will give you thousands of rounds of service.
