PorterNGlock 19's Extractor broke.
I think it did, anyway. Here's the picture:
A broken extractor would fit the trouble the gun's been giving me on the last couple range visits - sporadic stovepipes, double-feeds, and general FTE's.
I've been carrying this gun for a couple years but haven't shot it all that much, so I'm kind of surprised. then again, if it can happen at all, it'll happen to me.
Anyway - I got on Brownells and see there are some options. Does it matter which one I get as long as it's 9mm? The one 9mm version that's in-stock has a couple negative reviews - something about the new style vs. the dipped extractor. Looks like
midway has theirs in-stock, though. most other sites are out of stock or backordered.
If ya'll were needing to buy a new extractor, what would you get?

RogueJSKIt happens. I went though that with my Gen 2 G19 a couple years ago. Started having FTEs, disassembled it, and noticed the extractor was chipped.

Sir GuyI would just buy a new OEM extractor. Might as well replace that whole assembly while you’re at it.
Just because I’m curious—did you ever make a habit of loading a cartridge directly in the chamber with this gun?

dusty3030Honestly I'd call Glock first. Ask which is the best version, tell 'em how much you love 'em and be peachy sweet and they're liable to send you one.

nope. I broke my Beretta 92 extractor about 7 years ago dropping the slide on a round in the chamber, so I don't do that anymore

. I have no clue what caused this or when.
I may give glock a call, but I'll probably order the one from Midway anyway.

jjkroll32I put apex failure resistant extractors in each of my 4 G19s.
$50 or so from AIM surplus. Very nicely made part.

dubagelThere is a difference in Glock factory OEM-extractors. There are the older ones without the LCI, loaded chamber indicator and the current ones with the LCI. Also you have to get the correct spring loaded bearing to match your extractor. 9mm is black in color, but you just need to know if your extractor is a pre-LCI or has the LCI and order the correct part. Might also just want to swap out the whole plunger assembly too. The rod, spring, and bearing. Check our Glockstore.com.
I’d also do a complete slide strip, disassembly, and clean.
