Hi all. Yes, I'm a newb to the whole forum thing, but I was hoping someone out there could help me. I recently purchased a new Colt Gold Cup Trophy 1911-22. Love it. It ran great for a couple or three hundred rounds. I had cleaned it a couple times - the usual field stripping is no problem. Now I'm having an extractor problem. It fires, the slide cycles back and then forward, but the empty brass remains in the breech and the hammer isn't cocked. Then I have to drop the mag, hold the slide back and pry the spent brass out of the chamber. Put the mag back in, rack it, fire, and it does the same thing all over again. I just can't figure out why the extractor isn't doing it's job. I think it might just be from the dirty 22 ammo (I've tried several brands) but I can't find info anywhere on how to remove the bolt assembly or the extractor from the slide so I can give it a good cleaning.

If anyone can point me in the right direction to find out how to get this done I would greatly appreciate it!
 
sounds like either your using low powered ammo, and it's not cycling the slide all the way back to #### the hammer and/or you need to lube the slide up. Take the slide off off and see if the extractor moves, it should pivot out from the center of the slide. If not, you need to give it a good scrub, possibly remove it. If you've been cleaning it as much as you say, you may have bits of the cleaning patches or swabs caught behind the extractor. You don't need to clean it that often ;) you probably put more wear on the gun pulling it down and putting it back together then you do shooting it. good luck
 
Actually, I'm using higher power ammo. Since it's new I figured the recoil spring might be a little stiff. The extractor doesn't pivot - it just moves a fraction (not even a millimeter) backwards when pressed toward the rear - feels as though it's spring loaded.

I'd love to remove it to give it a good cleaning - but I can't find out how to remove it! Frustrating.
