Much appreciated. I'll hit the search button
Ive been running D springs for both my carry and backup Beretta , and between both its been 3000 rounds without a failure to fire or light strikes.
Back to topic , I just tore down my backup gun today after I experienced my first failure to extract with the piece. Heres what I found under the extractor .The black square near the hole is solidified carbon ,not just a surface layer.The physical dimension of the part was altered so drastically that its a testament to the 92s reliability that it only failed twice in 500 rounds . You should have a Q tip and a dental pick handy before doing this.

That's, ummmm......really NASTY! Get that cleaned up and I bet your Beretta runs like a top.

Thanks for these photos. This is exactly what I would check for before ordering parts.
Beretta recommends cleaning the extractor every 1000 rounds. That's what I was told in 2000 when I attended their armorers class.
I've added an annual extractor removal and channel cleaning to my 92 maintenance protocol. It's easy to do-and it's amazing the amount of GSR that can accumulate and calcify-and yet the gun continues to run (at least in my case).
Remember to re-stake the extractor pin after re-installing; if it's a tight enough fit, re-staking may be unnecessary, but I recommend doing it anyway.
Best, Jon
Is there a way to use solvent to clean behind the extractor without removing the part?

No.

You could try blasting it with Gunscrubber.
