[rboomsma]

Looking for some input on a high quality extrator for my 1911 9mm slide. Need a new one.

I need a series 80 extrator but would like some advice on whos I should buy. Wilson combat, caspin, nowlin , or ?????

And where I can get it from.

Thanks

Aftec is only for series 70, it does not work in a series 80 slide.

I have had a few suggestions to get one from Brownells, I think I might go with the Wilson Combat heavy duty extractor, or the Ed brown match.

I would phone the gunsmith your going to have install it and ask his opinion on what he likes working with..... more then likely it will be one ofthe brand names mentioned and he will probably have one in stock, while your at it why not buy a second one off him and have him fit that as well and then keep the spare in your range kit.

I have had really good luck with the Ed Brown HardCore extractors - and they make them for the Series 80 also. I second the idea of getting and fitting a second to have as a backup for the parts box at the same time...

I am using a Nowlin extractor (you can get them from Brownell's) with my 9mm Kimber Custom II. So far works perfect. Way better than the original Kimber extractor.

Go Aftec and disable your firing pin safety... love mine; super robust (tool steel and designed to pivot, not flex.)

I really like the Cylinder and Slide spring steel extractor, the only original spec extractor on the market that I'm aware of.

What he said.

They take a little fitting on the firing pin stop but you can do that yourself.
