EGW GI 1911 Extractor (Improved) – 9mm / .40 / 10mm – Series 70 – Blued

Upgrade your Series 70 1911 with the EGW GI 1911 Extractor (Improved) for 9mm, .40, and 10mm calibers. Using modern high-quality steel, precise CNC machining, and vacuum heat treatment, EGW delivers an extractor that lasts longer, maintains tension, and ensures smoother extraction than original GI-style parts.

Why Standard Extractors Fail

Traditional 1911 extractors often wear out quickly. With repeated firing, the extractor rides up the cartridge case relief groove. Consequently, the hook dulls, tension drops, and extraction may fail. Over time, this can cause jams and reduce shooting reliability.

EGW identified these issues and redesigned the extractor to prevent them.

EGW Improvements

Reduced Hook Distance

By shortening the distance from the bolt face to the extractor hook, the hook no longer strikes the case repeatedly. Therefore, extractor tension stays consistent, wear is minimized, and extraction remains smooth.

Stronger Hook Geometry

Most extractors have a straight, 90-degree hook, which can crack under stress. EGW machines the hook at an acute angle. This increases the surface area that grips the case. Additionally, radiused cuts on both sides reduce weak points. As a result, the hook is stronger and more reliable, even under high-round use.

Vacuum Heat-Treated

EGW vacuum heat-treats the extractor to preserve spring properties and reduce internal stress. Consequently, this extractor maintains proper tension for over 70,000 rounds, providing long-lasting, consistent performance.
