You mean it wasn't the holy grail end-all-be-all-catch-all diagnosis that Glocker's tend to blame everything on?
The limp wrist... :rolleyes:

Todd does your LCI extractor show a lot of wear?
I pulled the extractor from my problem Glock (LCI'10) and compared it to my primary guns extractor (Non-LCI'99). The difference in wear is pretty apparent even with my crap pictures. The edge of the extractor on my LCI'10 looks uneven and possibly chipped also.
The one on the left is my Non-LCI'99 which I'm unsure on round count as I didn't really start doing that to recently but it's at least 10x what the LCI'10 on the right has had put through it @1600.

Think I'm going to change my guns with LCI over to the Non-LCI due to how shitty the LCI look quality wise and see how it goes. 300 rds seems early for a victory speech so it'll be interesting how the test gun does on Monday
In fairness, it was a Glock Talk regular who suggested putting the older extractor in the gun.
Looking at some of my extractors today, I found the newer extractors out of the 4th Gen guns I have, have more of a porous texture than the older extractors I have in stock.
The new ones have a slight "dip" were it looks like then have been injected molded. The older ones have more of "slick" surface and looks like they have been machined.
For what it's worth the extractos in my 4th gen .40's have what looks like a "LOT" of wear on them!! Lots of shiny spots.
So maybe that's some of the issue? the extractor slot is a bit under sized or the extractor a bit over size. depending on how that tolerance stacks up.
Looking forward to Todd running more ammo though his Gen 4!!!!!!
I hate speculating but Kimber used the MIM process in their external extractor design and it failed. I wonder if it was because of inconsistencies in the process. This is not to say that MIM is a bad process because it has been proven to work, it is the quality control of the process that is critical and may be missing from the Glock extractors.
I humbly admit that I do not know what LCI means.
