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

Upgrade your Series 70 1911 with the EGW GI 1911 Extractor (Improved) in stainless steel, designed for 9mm, .40 S&W, and 10mm pistols. While the original GI extractor worked well decades ago, modern steel and precision machining now allow EGW to deliver far better strength, consistency, and service life.

As a result, this extractor provides smoother cycling, longer-lasting tension, and improved reliability in high-round-count pistols.

Why Original GI Extractors Wear Out

Over time, many factory extractors develop problems. During firing, the extractor often rides up the relief groove of the cartridge case. Because of this, the hook repeatedly strikes the case rim.

As a result:

• The hook dulls

• Tension slowly drops

• Extraction becomes inconsistent

• Jams become more likely

If you find yourself constantly re‑tensioning your extractor, replacement is the correct fix.

EGW’s Improved Extractor Geometry

EGW solved these issues by reducing the distance from the bolt face to the extractor hook. Because of this change, the hook no longer slams into the case during cycling.

Therefore:

• Wear is reduced

• Tension remains stable

• Extraction stays smooth

• Reliability improves shot after shot

Stronger Hook Design for Greater Durability

Most GI extractors use a straight, 90‑degree hook cut. Unfortunately, sharp corners create stress points that can crack or chip over time.

Instead, EGW machines the hook at an acute angle. This increases the surface area that grips the case rim. In addition, radiused cuts on both sides of the hook remove weak points and spread stress evenly.

As a result, the hook becomes stronger, more durable, and far less likely to fail.

Vacuum Heat‑Treated for Long Service Life

Finally, EGW vacuum heat‑treats each extractor. This process reduces internal stress while preserving spring properties.

Because of this treatment, the extractor can:

• Maintain proper tension for 70,000+ rounds

• Resist fatigue and deformation

• Deliver consistent extraction over extended use
