    Well nutz. New Wilson extractor needs some work

    It’s a Pilot Mountain Arms Operator. Kart barrel, Caspian slide and frame, etc. Best recollection is I’ve had two or three malfunctions total but they were all ammunition based so they don’t get out in the dataset.

    Put the original (tensioned) Colt extractor and new Wolff 16 lb spring into my Colt 9mm LW Commander.
    It seems to extract a bit better today.

    The Ed Brown mags are also working a treat.

    These aren't as thick and quite frankly, I thought they were cheesy as hell when they were what Bob Marvel supplied as grips on the pistols we built in his class. Once I started shooting with them I liked them - pistol does not move in your hand.

    They support the plunger tube as they should, but I had to do some fitting on both grips to clear my EGW Ambi Safety.
    Adding nothing to the conversation since 2015....
