EGW Heavy Duty 1911 Extractor – .45 ACP – Series 70 – Blued

Upgrade your Series 70 1911 with the EGW Heavy Duty 1911 Extractor for .45 ACP. Today’s steel and manufacturing methods are far better than what was available when John Browning first designed the 1911. As a result, EGW uses superior alloys, precise CNC machining, vacuum heat treatment, and advanced tooling to produce a stronger, longer-lasting extractor.

Solving Common Extractor Problems

Many standard 1911 extractors wear out quickly. For example, the hook rides up the cartridge case relief groove with each round. Consequently, the hook dulls, extractor tension drops, and extraction can fail. If you have to continually re-tension your extractor, it is time for an upgrade.

EGW fixed this issue by reducing the distance from the bolt face to the extractor hook. Therefore, the hook no longer strikes the case repeatedly. As a result, tension stays consistent, extraction is smoother, and reliability improves dramatically.

Stronger Hook Design

Most factory extractors feature a straight, 90-degree hook cut. However, right angles create weak points. By contrast, EGW machines the hook at an acute angle, which increases the surface area that grips the case.

In addition, EGW adds radiused cuts on both sides of the hook. These rounded corners spread stress evenly and prevent cracks or breakage. Consequently, the extractor holds the case more securely and resists failure, even under heavy use.

Vacuum Heat-Treated for Long Life

EGW uses vacuum heat treatment to protect the extractor’s spring properties. This process reduces internal stress and improves long-term performance. As a result, the extractor maintains proper tension for over 70,000 rounds.

Because of this, your 1911 will cycle reliably, maintain smooth extraction, and perform consistently, whether for competition, training, or daily shooting.
