EGW 80 Practical Extractor, Blue

The evolution of steel quality since the early 20th century has significantly enhanced the durability and performance of firearms, particularly the iconic 1911 pistol. Leveraging advancements in metallurgy and manufacturing, our production process incorporates superior alloys, precision-controlled furnaces, vacuum heat treatment, advanced tooling and finite element analysis. These innovations ensure that our components, especially the extractor, are built to last. A common issue with traditional extractors is the gradual loss of tension due to the repetitive impact on the ammunition casing's relief groove. This wear and tear can lead to jamming and compromised accuracy. Our solution addresses these challenges by reducing the distance from the bolt face to the extractor hook, minimizing the impact and extending the component's lifespan. Unlike conventional designs that feature a right-angle cut, our extractor hook is machined at an acute angle, providing a larger surface area for a more secure grip on the casing. This design choice, combined with radii on both sides of the hook, significantly enhances the strength and resilience of the extractor, eliminating the weak points found in other models. Furthermore, our extractor is crafted using a specialized cutter that creates a smooth, clean radius in the critical inside corner, a common failure point in standard extractors. The vacuum heat treatment process imparts exceptional spring properties, ensuring the extractor maintains its tension and functionality for over 70,000 rounds. Please note that due to regulatory restrictions, we are unable to ship this part internationally.
