Pistol malfunction, Wont eject properly.

[Craig0ry]

I have an older browning hi-power, Kind of a project gun if you will, Replaced most parts on it, Now I am having ejection problems, I consulted a doctor but they said statistics show 1 in every.... JK Jk but back on topic, the pistol doesn't eject the spent casing before bringing the new cartridge into the chamber, My guess is the ejector plate is worn out and needs replacing, Any other things it could be?

Extractor tension (too much) or mags (they can cause any malf)

Thought this as well, have quite a few mags, tried old and new, same issue. Iam not sure how I would go about changing the spring tension on the extractor, Its the same spring its always been

Check the extractor to see if it is broken. Occasionally the hook will chip or break, which allows a partial extraction, but it cannot hold it firmly enough to take it back to the ejector.

HAve this same problem on my SR9. Soot builds up on the back of the hook if I dont spend a good amount of time cleaning it. Was happening at least once per 100 rounds and haven't had it happen in the 200 or so since I noticed the build up

got a decent picture with the camera, its more worn than I could see with my eye, Think this is the culprit?
